Some people say that to increase sexual desire, one must eat specific foods. This theory is not wrong, but why can certain foods increase sexual desire? Actually, because they contain specific vitamins, it is not the food but the vitamins that increase libido.
Vitamin A promotes hormone secretion
The main function of vitamin A is to promote protein synthesis. Vitamin A deficiency can affect the production of spermatocyte in testicular tissue, the degeneration of vas deferens epithelium, the decrease of testicular weight, the reduction of seminal vesicles, and the keratinization of prostate. If the ovaries lack vitamin A, it affects the normal secretion of estrogen.
Vitamin C is beneficial for semen liquefaction
The function of vitamin C is to reduce the agglutination force of sperm, which is beneficial for semen liquefaction. The genetic DNA in sperm cells is protected by the antioxidant function of vitamin C. If genetic genes are disrupted, it can lead to reduced sperm fertility and infertility.
Vitamin E enhances libido
Vitamin E has the function of regulating the gonads and prolonging sperm lifespan. Vitamin E can improve blood circulation, enhance the motility of capillaries, especially those in the genital area, increase libido, and increase sperm production.
Vitamin B12 increases sperm concentration
The physiological activity of vitamin B12 largely depends on cobalt. Cobalt can reduce the oxygen consumption of tissues, thereby improving their tolerance to hypoxia and promoting the vitality of the body's tissues in hypoxic environments. Long term vegetarians may experience a significant decrease in sperm concentration and semen production compared to others due to a lack of vitamin B12, which affects normal sexual function.
