Bestselling Author, Dr. Timothy Brantley Reveals The Sexiest Foods

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Los Angeles, Ca- Its turns out that the phrase "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"-is true. Aphrodisiacs are often healthy; natural foods can have a powerful impact on your health and apparently, your libido as well. The texture, appearance and scent of certain foods affect your body and your spirit. Some vitamin rich foods can help to get your blood flowing, to release the "love" hormones and others help you relax and let go of your inhibitions. This Valentine's Day "sexy" should start with eating "healthy".

As a researcher using naturopathic principles, Dr. Timothy Brantley has taught his methods of naturally curing illness and restoring physical health to thousands of people, including well-known celebrities. According to Dr. Brantley, certain nutrients are necessary for healthy sexual function. The B vitamins, including B-5 can enhance romantic pleasure and stamina. If a lagging libido is the problem, try foods rich in selenium, manganese and zinc to give you a much-needed boost. Follow it up with vitamin E rich foods and get ready to share the love. Many foods with aphrodisiac qualities are excellent health and mood enhancers. Here are some of the "sexiest" foods:

SEXY FOODS:

Chocolate:
No wonder it's a Valentines Day favorite-apparently raw cacao (chocolate) was used by the Aztec as a love elixir. It contains many chemicals that enhance physical and mental well-being like the neurotransmitter dopamine and anandamide, the so-called "bliss chemical associated with the feeling of "being in love". Especially powerful: chocolate dipped strawberries.

Bananas- The high potassium content and the B vitamins are necessary for sex hormone production. Some studies say that the enzyme bromelain can boost male sexual performance.

Asparagus: Due to its aphrodisiac powers, asparagus was served in the 19th century to bridegrooms. It is rich in potassium, phosphorus, calcium and vitamin E, which can reportedly enhance hormone production.

Ginger: The root can increase blood flow-revving up the libido. Spice up your night with a fresh ginger dressing.

Olives: Green olives are believed to increase virility in men; while black olives are said to increase a women's sex drive. Greek salad anyone?

Tomatoes: Historically called "love apples", tomatoes have the reputation as a sexual stimulant.

Avocados: The avocado has it all--- vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytochemicals and a smooth, sensuous texture.

Almonds are a source of healthy fats and vitamin E. Vitamin E is important for male sexual health. The aroma of the almond is also rumored to ignite passion in women.

More exciting details on natural foods and beverages that can restore your health and general well-being are described in Dr. Brantley's book, "The Cure," on his website, www.brantleycure.com, and through his blogs, Webinars, TV appearances and radio segments.
