FOODS THAT RUIN YOUR SEX LIFE Written by Ruth Olurounbi Sunday, 30 September 2012

You are what you eat, they say. When it comes to sex, therefore, you invariably sex what you eat! It’s that simple. Truth is, what you eat affects every part of yourbeing, your ability to become aroused, achieve orgasm and feel sexually satisfied. This is why we have decided to share, with blessings from several experts, those likely foods that may be killing your sex life. Here they are: FRIED FOODS AND CHIPS. Love those tantalizing bacon cheeseburgers? Well, go easy on them because the saturated fats contained in most cheeses and fatty meats will possibly, over time, clogs your arteries.

As much as that is true, high-fat dairy does have a way of affecting your menstrual cycle byexacerbating cramps and bloating and further depleting energy levels. MEATS. You have heard how much danger excessive red meat deposits into your body system, right? Now, I can go a little further to tell you that most meats, including dear poultry and fish, have added hormones, antibiotics and chemicals which create a hormonal imbalance. It gets worse, those tasty, fatty meats do contain high levels of saturated fats and cholesterol known to clog your arteries and blood vessels, making it difficult to achieve orgasm and maintain arousal. Can you now see why you need to sacrifice your taste for a healthier sex life? ALCOHOL. Think happy hour makes you happy? Try frequent happy hours and see if it doesn’t impede your getting laid! Frequent use of alcohol suppresses your libido, decreasing your sex drive and your sexual satisfaction. Don’t say I never told because I just did
