Foods To Avoid Before Having Sex

What we consume and particularly what food we eat can affect our sex lives in both positive and negative ways. If you are looking to have a hot night in the bedroom, it is wise to avoid anti-aphrodisiac food. We know our libido is negatively affected by the daily stressors of life: fatigue, anxiety, and emotional distress, so it is paramount to choose foods that can help elevate our energy and mood. Some foods have an especially negative affect on a sex life. Read on to find our what foods you should avoid before having sex.

Coffee

Caffeine found in coffee can be a major trigger for stress. Caffeine raises your cortisol (stress hormone levels). This distresses the body and thwarts your ability to relax. Overall, this results in a lower libidio.

Cruciferous Vegetables

Vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are linked to our methane production. In order to digest these types of vegetables our body releases a methane bacteria which results in passing gas. This can not only cause you pain, but ruin the mood in the bedroom.

Red Meat

Although one might enjoy a rare steak when out to dinner with your partner, red meat can distress your digestive system. If one has a sensitive digestive system, red meat could make you feel full and legarthic.

Fruits

Fruits are one of the easily digestible foods out there. Eating fruit (especially after a meal, for dessert) can result in cramping and gas due to it’s quick digestion time. These symptoms are some of the worst to have before partaking in intercourse.
