DARK CHOCOLATE -contains phenylethylamine a chemical that triggers the release of domapine, the same compound the brain produces when falling in love.  Cocoa also contains methylxanthines, which make skin sensitive to every touch. Aim for dark chocolate, which packs more cocoa than lighter milk chocolates, OR white chocolate and keep portions small. Buy fair trade varieties such as www.divinechocolateusa.com or www.dagobachocolate.com for eco friendly options.

BANANAS-are rich in the enzyme bromelain (as are pineapples). There is some evidence that bromelain will increase libido in men, although the verdict is out on exactly why. Bananas are also good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, helping to increase the body’s overall energy levels.

STRAWBERRIES- The antioxidants are also a boost for your blood flow!

The PUMPKIN SEEDS in the granola - Like oysters, pumpkin seeds are also extremely rich in zinc, Low zinc can make a woman completely lose her sex drive. These gems that you can sprinkle anywhere are also rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids, which act as a precursor of prostaglandins—hormone-like substances that play a key role in sexual health.
