Sea shells, oysters and green shells and various other shellfish are often referred to as sex drive or Aphrodisiac foods. Taken from the name Aphrodite, God of Love from Greece, this food is allegedly can trigger feelings of love and love.
Shellfish has a high protein content. In addition, contained also zinc and iron that serves to circulate oxygen throughout the body and is important to increase the body's metabolism.
In addition, zinc is also important in helping the production of testosterone and the formation of sperm in men and play a role in maintaining male and female libido. So medically the shell is very supportive as a food that can increase sex drive.
According to The Food Journal and Food, Nutrition & Science, shellfish include aphrodisiac foods because there is a sensation of the shape, the smell is also texture. The combination of these sensations can ultimately arouse and enhance the spirit and passion of sex.
After further investigation according to the article from Mens Journal "The Truth About Aphrodisiacs", aphrodisiac food can be divided into 3 categories, namely:
- Seen from its shape, shellfish, bananas, asparagus have shape resemblance to human sexual organs.
- Seen from the texture, peaches and avocados have similarities in the texture of sexual organs.
- Judging from the sensation of taste, eating spicy peppers and chili also can increase the passion.
But in today's era the definition of aphrodisiac food as an increase in sex drive has shifted.
According to The Food Journal and Food, Nutrition & Science, the best passionate food (aphrodisiac) is actually a healthful diet while at the same time warming up the atmosphere as we spend time together making the conversation warmer and more intimate.
Although sea shells can increase sex drive, you do not have to spend up to dozens of sea shells. Because consuming too many sea shells can actually cause bacterial infections, allergic reactions to indigestion.
