1. Among the many mood and health lifting foods out there, studies have shown that there are a few foods out there that get your blood pumping and endorphins releasing, one of which is a staple for Valentine’s day; dark chocolate. The reason why is because dark chocolates have the chemicals phenylethylamine and serotonin, which are both mood enhancing and can help blood circulation, thus also acting as a mild stimulant for those sensual times. 

2. Nuts like pistachios, walnuts and almonds among others are also considered natural aphrodisiacs which are, in some cases, considered fertility foods as they’re rich with omega 3 fats, which keeps the blood flowin’ where it needs goin’, if you catch our drift.

3. If you like things a lil’ spicy, well, in foods and in the bedroom, peppers and chilis that contain capisian is known to release endorphins and can boost up testosterone levels as well libido. Capisian in itself usually gets your heart pumping and skin heating up, creating a thermogenic effect in your body which can definitely help in the bedroom! If you want something sweet and spicy though, try out some dark chocolate with chili for the best of both worlds. 

Of course what makes Valentine’s day so special is the time spent with your loved one, set the mood just right and have a romantic dinner with some aphrodisiac foods and we’re sure you’ll be tangled up with each other all night long. Happy lovin’!
