Spice up your love life with aphrodisiacs and the power of the Sex Diet!

Cooking for Love with Sex Diet, a book about the power of aphrodisiacs

By Aleksandra Orlova 

Sex Diet is a new take on nutrition and healthy eating. Stress, fatigue, tiredness, and low sexual energy are all symptoms of twenty-first-century life. Sex Diet can help! The author Alina Reyzelman (that uses a pen name Aleksandra Orlova) takes us into the world of food, sensuality, libido, and nutrition. With explanations, recipes, and more, she explores the relationship between healthy food and sexuality. Each chapter includes a thorough analysis of the vitamin and nutritional value of the foods, recipes for their preparation, and their libidinal effects. The book also explores the connections among libido, exercise, attitude, and good sleep. The detailed research shows how lifestyle changes can help develop a healthy body and spirit, and a strong relationship with one’s partner.

In Sex Diet, Alina explores all the benefits of aphrodisiacs by reviewing more than 20 unique foods and spices. She found through her research that these special foods are not only delicious; they also contain necessary nutrients to maintain reproductive wellness and overall health. These foods have a direct impact on sex life, by producing ‘sex’ hormones, ‘love’ chemicals, energy, and stamina; controlling stress levels; and protecting organs against disease. These foods contribute to healthy sexuality by maintaining the body in great form, helping to regulate hormonal cycles, and keeping fertility strong.

There are many natural libido boosters that can improve a romantic relationship. Food and sexuality have been linked in various ways throughout history, as recorded in art and literature. Many herbs, nuts, and fruits have been used for medical purposes and in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. Other foods, known as aphrodisiacs, are shown to increase libido, due to their compounds and chemical composition. The word aphrodisiac comes from the Greek goddess Aphrodite, who was the goddess of love.

The ancient list of ‘sexy foods’ included anise, basil, carrot, salvia, pistachio nuts, and fennel. In modern times, people are still searching for special ingredients.  An interesting article from Forbes shows that: ‘For as long as humans have been having sex, they’ve been struggling to get in the mood. In ancient India, a young man who proved passionless in the sack might have tried goat testicles boiled in milk. The Roman satirist Juvenal was the first to note the seductive qualities of oysters. In “The Arabian Nights,” coriander was a quick fix for a merchant who’d gone childless for 40 years’. English herbalist Nicholas Culpepper discovered in the seventeenth century that asparagus ‘increases lust in man and woman’.

Alina says: ‘There is a simple explanation why certain foods directly enhance libido. It comes from eating a well-balanced diet, which improves physical and mental health. The right nutrition can increase libido because a healthy body is sexually attractive and ‘body-delicious’.

The author explains why she decided to write Sex Diet: ‘I wanted to learn about the power of the lifestyle change. At some point in my life, it was very difficult to balance demanding work schedule, jet leg and home chores, and I also realized that my diet was not entirely healthy. While I was writing Sex Diet I experimented on myself and saw that health improvements begin with changes in the lifestyle. Sex Diet will show that the key to a healthy physique and healthy sexuality is in a balanced diet, stress management, the right amount of exercise, and good-quality sleep’.

6 Sex Diet Tips on Healthy Lifestyle

Sex Diet Tip 1. Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals and significantly restricting calories can lead to undesirable health consequences, avoiding meals is very counterproductive.

Sex Diet Tip 2. Go organic. Many natural foods can promote good health and stimulate libido; however, it’s important to consider the quality of the produce, because some foods may have lower or higher nutrient content.

Sex Diet Tip 3. Use natural remedies to treat minor health-related issues. Natural medicines have proved to be efficient in healing people thousands of years ago.

Sex Diet Tip 4. Make sure you rest. Good-quality sleep is the major basic function people need to rejuvenate the body and regain strength and energy. Sleeping is essential for healthy metabolic processes, which happen during a night of rest.

Sex Diet Tip 5. Stay physically active. Physical activity is directly linked to increased libido, sexual performance, energy boost, improved body image, and uplifted confidence.

Sex Diet Tip 6. Choose to be happy. Having and maintaining a positive attitude is vital for personal and professional life because it helps with stress management and improves overall well-being. Positive thinking makes people more sexually attractive because humans are naturally drawn to positivity.

Boredom in the bedroom could happen at any stage of the relationship.  Intimacy could turn into a stale routine after the passion and excitement have faded.
