Eat This, Feel Sexy: Nutrition Tips For Better Sex.
Read time: 3 minutes
Let’s be real, “feeling sexy” isn’t just about the right playlist or mood lighting. It starts with how your body feels on the inside and what you eat can influence your hormones, your energy, your confidence, and your desire. Food can act as an aphrodisiac and not just the cliché kind (we see you oysters) but think power packed nutrients that actually support your mood, blood flow, and hormone balance. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Healthy fats: the ultimate libido lift.
Good fats are essential and Omega-3s are the foundation of your sex hormones. They support circulation, reduce inflammation, and help your body produce estrogen and testosterone, both key players in libido. Stock up on salmon, avocado, walnuts, chia seeds, flax, olive oil or OVAOmega Reproductive Vegan Omega-3 DHA which is made from algae.
2. Why circulation is sexy.
Arousal literally depends on blood flow and that’s where nitric oxide–boosting foods come in. Try adding beetroot, spinach, rocket, garlic, citrus, or pomegranate to your meals. Not only do they help your blood vessels relax but they support healthy oxygen flow which helps everything work a little better.
3. Eat for energy.
Certain vitamins and minerals are low-key essential for libido and hormone balance, think Zinc (testosterone and fertility), Magnesium (relaxation and stress release) and B Vitamins (energy, mood and hormone metabolism). Find them in dark leafy greens, lean meats, avocados and nuts or top up your reserves with OVAPlus Advanced Hormonal Support which includes inositol, zinc, NAC, and B vitamins to support your hormones, energy, and mood.
4. Keep your blood sugar steady.
Ever notice your mood crash after a sugar spike? That’s your hormones reacting. Unstable blood sugar can affect energy, mood, and sexual desire. So keep things steady by pairing carbs with protein and healthy fats, go for sweet potato with cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt with berries and nuts.
5. Hydration = lubrication (literally).
Water supports everything from hormone transport to even, yes, vaginal lubrication. So, if you’re dehydrated, your energy and arousal will dip too. Make sure you keep up your hydration throughout the day and the best way to gauge? Keep your pee looking like pale straw.
