Valentine's day and Aphrodisiac foods



Aphrodisiac is named after Aphrodite; the Greek goddess of love. Food containing aphrodisiac substance or quality are the ones that excites sexual desire. But before you run to the store and stock up on all or some of the following foods; remember that your mind is the most powerful aphrodisiac of them all.
Some foods do actually stimulate blood flow and combined with the look, mouth feel and aroma have been used as aphrodisiacs throughout time. It is the combination of the senses that create these aphrodisiac qualities.

The following are some foods that could make you and your Valentine extra special:
CHOCOLATE/TRUFFLES

Ever wonder why Valentine's Day has become synonymous with chocolate? It is much more than just a marketing gimmick. Chocolate is a great source of quick energy and can elevate people’s moods. One hundred gram bar of dark Chocolate contains three stimulants: 810mg of Theobromine (a vasodilator which helps with blood flow), 80mg of Caffeine and PEA(phenylethylamine) known as the love chemical. PEA releases dopamine in the pleasure center of the brain and helps induce feelings of excitement, attraction and euphoria. The sexual lure of more expensive chocolate truffles lies in the musky aroma and smooth mouth feel. While it is not proven that chocolate is a true aphrodisiac, many would suggest being happier and in a better mood leads to a better romance.
PINE NUTS

Pine seeds have the reputation throughout the Mediterranean as one of the most effective ways to stimulate the libido.(Because of it's zinc content)
WALNUTS

Walnuts have been used to "increase" the desire for romance.(Because of amino acid arginine)
ONIONS
Onion, one of the most celebrated aphrodisiacs, has been served to French newlyweds on the morning after their wedding night to restore their libidos. For the same reason there is a belief that teen-age girls should not eat onions.
Arab folklore promises that an aphrodisiac drink of onion juice when mixed with honey is the original Viagra. Onions also stimulate blood flow.
GARLIC

Garlic used for centuries as one of the most widespread ancient aphrodisiac remedies. It stimulates the secretion of gastric juices, adds digestion and increases the blood flow.
CELERY

Celery stimulates digestion and stimulates the sexual organs. Celery seeds is most effective and are used to garnish and enhance fresh oysters and dressings.
GINGER
Ginger helps soothe the stomach and is used to help relieve menstrual cramping. Ginger wine was widely thought to be an aphrodisiac as it had the effect of relaxing the muscles of the uterus and intestines. Ginger ale and candied ginger are also good cures for morning sickness.
FENNEL/POPCORN

OYSTERS
Always thought of as the aphrodisiac, but it gets a lot of its reputation from the ritual of opening them and swallowing them whole. Oysters are rich in zinc and iron. Iron is known for its transport of oxygen throughout our systems and zinc which helps produce sperm and egg and increases libido. Oysters also contain on average 18 micrograms of Vitamin B12.
CAVIAR

Caviar was thought to have restorative powers and long life. Caviar is from the salted roe/eggs of sturgeon. A lot of caviar's aphrodisiac qualities have to do with being an egg, and the way it is served than anything else.

CARDAMOM

Indian herbal medicine uses powdered cardamom seeds boiled with milk and honey for a remedy against impotence.
WINE/GRAPES

The Greek God Dionysus son of Zeus is the god of wine,
fertility and procreation. Even fresh grapes have stimulating properties. Many of the most romantic settings throughout history include feeding a lover individual grapes.

In conclusion just remember the combination of the various sensual reactions: the visual satisfaction of the surrounding area and the sight of appetizing food, the stimulation with pleasing smells and the tactile gratification tend to bring on a state of general euphoria conducive to sexual expression. Another words, setting the proper mood is just as important as the food.

ABC signs of a healthy person!


When my parents used to go to the Doctor; the doctor would look at them and take their heart beat from their pulse, and he knew what was wrong with them. I think the doctor mostly would deduce his findings from their physical presence. The following are some of the attributes of a healthy person. You can find the reasons and cures for all these items in this blog now or in the future.

BMI Calculator

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It measures the ratio of one's body weight to their height. It also tries to give an idea of the amount of body fat a person has. Two people can have the same BMI but different levels of body fat(because Muscle weighs more than fat). A high percentage of body fat increases the chances of heart disease, Type II diabetes, and cancers. *******************************************
