Helpful Legend Food 1: Chocolate
Perhaps it's a Valentine's Day relationship where people tend to associate chocolate with love. As a food, the main ingredient of chocolate is cocoa, with a sweet and fragrant taste, which is considered a food that can make people happy.
Analysis: Chocolate has antioxidant and blood pressure lowering effects, but it cannot make people feel brave overnight because the ingredients it contains do not stimulate sexual desire or enhance sexual function. Just like some people drinking a little alcohol before sex to regulate the atmosphere, it is completely unrelated to the nutritional effects of food, but only related to the mood at that time.
Helpful Legend Food 2: Shrimp
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that shrimp has a sweet and warm taste, and has the function of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang. It has a good therapeutic effect on kidney deficiency, impotence, premature ejaculation and ejaculation, waist and knee soreness, and limb weakness. Even Western medicine believes that shrimp is a high protein, low-fat food that contains essential substances that are easily lacking in the human body, and its nutrition is very rich. However, does it actually have an aphrodisiac effect?
Analysis: Generally speaking, those who lack zinc in the body will experience a decrease in sperm quantity and quality, accompanied by severe sexual and reproductive dysfunction. Therefore, even if seafood cannot be eaten frequently, seaweed and other seaweed foods should be eaten regularly.
In terms of nutrient zinc, zinc deficiency has the greatest impact on fetuses and children. Zinc deficiency in children can cause stunted growth and development of the human body, leading to reproductive immaturity and infertility in males. But for adult males, zinc supplementation can maintain normal sexual function. But for normal individuals, even additional zinc supplementation will not cause an additional increase in sperm production.
Moreover, zinc has a self balancing function in the human body, and even excessive supplementation cannot make the gonads stronger, and on the contrary, poisoning may occur.
Helpful Legend Food 3: Eggs
It seems that Chinese people have always had the habit of drinking raw eggs, and the implicit saying is that it can enhance yang and maintain health. Moreover, abroad, eggs are also regarded as the best "reducing agent" for restoring vitality. It may be rich in high-quality protein, which can strengthen vitality and eliminate fatigue after sexual intercourse. Moreover, it can be converted into arginine in the body, improving the quality of male sperm and enhancing sperm vitality.
Analysis: In terms of proteins, the synthesis of sperm definitely requires the participation of proteins, which are one of the main components of sperm. And there are many foods containing high-quality protein (not just egg protein), and there are also many foods containing arginine, which are very easy to obtain. We also eat a lot of chicken, duck, and fish meat. Therefore, it can be inferred that eating eggs is not as aphrodisiac as we imagine.
Helpful Legend Food 4: Chives
Leek, also known as Yangcao or Yangcao, is a common vegetable with strong growth ability. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is an excellent adjunctive dietary therapy for kidney deficiency, impotence, and nocturnal ejaculation, and has good therapeutic effects on diseases such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in men.
And scallions have always been seen as the embodiment of love and sexuality by people. The enzymes and various vitamins in scallions can ensure normal hormone secretion in the human body, thereby strengthening yang and nourishing yin.
Analysis: It cannot be said that chives can improve sexual function due to their fast growth and strong growth ability; The various vitamins in scallions are no different from those in other foods, and the content is not high. No special enzymes that stimulate the secretion of hormones in the human body have been detected in scallions. So, the claim that eating leeks can boost one's libido does not make sense in nutrition.
