When it comes to getting in the mood, there's more at play than just Victoria's Secret and Viagra. Sex experts
say one of the most important keys to having a healthy sex drive is the
right diet. A balanced diet will not only help you look better and feel
more confident, but will deliver key nutrients to keep your libido high. A poor diet could be causing you toxicity, inflammation, and sluggishness, none of which will help stir your passion. Of course there are several other contributing factors to a optimal sex drive including maintaining a healthy weight,
communicating with your partner, and even getting enough shut eye. But a
few tweaks to your diet couldn't hurt. We've rounded up some of the
best libido-boosting foods for you below.

Pine Nuts
Pine nuts are loaded with arginine which helps increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels. Plus, arginine is converted by the body into nitric oxide which is found in Viagra.
So consider making some pesto or some nice quinoa pilaf with these wonder nuts for your date night.
Avocados
Avocados contain heart-healthy fats, vitamin B6, and folic acid which all help fuel the body and increase energy. Vitamin B6 is known to help hormone production in men, which is key for a strong sex drive.
Black Raspberries
"This phytochemical-rich food enhances both libido and sexual
endurance," Drs. Anna Maria and Brian Clement, authors of 7 Keys to
Lifelong Sexual Vitality, told Fitness Magazine.
For max benefits, they recommend having 10 berries or a tablespoon of
their seeds just a few hours before you plan on getting frisky.

Watermelon
Some studies suggest people have more sex on the brain in summertime and
we wonder if this warm-weather favorite fruit might have something to
do with it. Researchers at Texas A&M University
found a nutrient contained in watermelons, citrulline, can have a
Viagra-like effect on the body. Citrulline is converted into arginine
in the body. “Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels,
the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it," Dr. Bhimu Patil said in a release.
Oatmeal
Start the day off with the right breakfast and hopefully it will end
well for you too. Oatmeal is touted as a testosterone-booster--but
here's some good news for the ladies. It contains L-arginine which helps blood flow in your nether regions and is an ingredient in many lubes and love potions.
Yes, please.
