Jul 16, 2017 5:05 PM You aren’t in the mood for sex some nights. Expectedly, you blame stress, fatigue, a lack of sleep, but the secret behind your libido’s loss is perhaps hidden in your plate of food. Since both testosterone and oestrogen play a critical role in the bodies of men and women, an imbalance can either amp up or diminish your s*x drive. Research shows that certain foods can significantly impact your hormonal levels. So, look before you eat. Here are six foods you should avoid if you want the libido to simmer: 1. Alcohol According to researchers, alcohol is a downer and can affect a man’s ability to maintain his erection. Since it affects both s.exes, women, you too need to take it slow.
