JAKARTA - Every day, we are advised to meet nutritional needs for health and fitness. By eating high nutritious foods, the body will undoubtedly avoid various diseases.

Apart from that, nutrition can also have a big impact on libido. The less nutrition the body lacks, the less sexual desire a person has.

What nutrients are included in it? Here's the list:

Vitamin A

A deficiency in vitamin A can slow down testosterone production. Then, this has an impact on decreasing libido. If your partner is both deficient in vitamin A, then both have a high chance of not being interested in sex. Vitamin A can be found in fish, meat, cheese, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, mustard greens, and carrots.

Vitamin D

Lack of vitamin D can cause decreased libido. For that, start eating selenium-rich foods such as cheese, okra, spinach, and soybeans.

Iron

The body needs iron to deliver oxygen to cells. When iron levels are low, the effect is lower sexual desire. You can eat liver or beef, green leafy vegetables, and beets to meet your iron needs.

Omega 3

According to Lyndsay von Miller, a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, omega 3 is linked to increased nitric oxide bioavailability in your bloodstream and thus improves blood flow, which is great for orgasms and erections.

When the body is deficient in omega 3, it can cause you to be less excited and experience menopause and perimenopause symptoms. Get your omega 3 intake from shellfish or cod.

Selenium

When a person doesn't have enough selenium, their sex drive can also decrease. In men, selenium not only provides a libido boost, but also increases sperm count. Selenium is found in protein-rich foods such as shellfish, chicken and eggs.

If you feel less passionate, there are several vitamins that can be consumed and are beneficial for sexual health. For example, vitamin E can increase sex drive, polyphenols, mineral zinc, and foods and drinks containing antioxidants.
