As major providers of antioxidants, fruits and vegetables can add vitality to your meals and your sex drive.

For similar benefits, incorporate particularly antioxidant-rich produce, such as berries, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and dark, leafy greens, into your meals and snacks regularly.

2. Fatty Fish

Fish are top sources of omega-3 fatty acids, essential fats your body must obtain from food. Omega-3s can help stave off negative moods and boost libido, says sexual health expert and urologist Dr Jennifer Berman.

Unlike refined grains, such as white flour and instant rice, whole grains are not stripped of vital nutrient content during processing. As a result, they provide more fibre, antioxidants and B vitamins. B vitamins play an important role in libido.

4. Nuts, Seeds and Avocados

Nuts, seeds and avocados supply healthy fats, which can help increase libido and minimize vaginal dryness, making sex more pleasurable.
