Nutrition, lifestyle, and sexual performance are closely related topics, as the sexual sphere is strongly influenced by the holistic health of the body and its reactivity. Since ancient times (it was the Greeks who coined the term 'aphrodisiacs', from the goddess of beauty and love Aphrodite), it is well known in the common imagination the effect that some foods or categories of foods have on sexual capacity, desire, and fertility. However, aphrodisiacs are often thought of simply as foods that awaken libido and passion, almost as a placebo effect, forgetting that there are many issues related to the sexual system, especially in men, that can affect its functioning, regardless of levels of desire and arousal, and compromise sexual performance.
From prostate problems, impotence, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty in achieving an erection, to lack of libido, low hormone production, and infertility, the sexual and reproductive capacity of men is often compromised by pathological, physiological, age-related (and therefore body aging), and psychological disorders.
Unlike women, who generally experience sexual system issues with the onset of menopause, in men the problems related to excitement, sexual system dysfunctions, lack of stamina, tonicity, and body functionality are much more variable and depend on a series of different causes and factors, making what could be defined as 'andropause' a phenomenon diluted over time, mutable, and unpredictable. There are indeed men who at 80 years old are still able to have children, and individuals who start experiencing the first sexual capacity issues as early as 40 years old, due to an imperfect lifestyle, the pressure of today's life, and a careless and unbalanced diet.
The variety of issues that can compromise a man's sexual sphere is accompanied by an equally wide variety of triggering causes.
Men can indeed experience disorders such as erectile dysfunction or impotence due to etiological or age-related factors, arterial insufficiency or venous flow alterations, lack of libido and excitement due to inhibitory psychogenic causes, which may be related to difficulty in achieving an erection, problems related to endocrine, hormonal or muscular activity, leading to difficulties in sexual performance. There are also pathological disorders, such as those related to the prostate, which can depend on a variety of different factors and also influence male sexuality, or neurological causes or those related to injuries and traumas. Specifically, damage or problems related to these areas can result in sexual function deficits such as:
In most cases, however, these dysfunctions must be attributed to a poor lifestyle, the stress to which the body is constantly subjected, unbalanced nutrition and poor aging of the body, factors that cause a series of deficiencies in the body and pathologies, which can affect and compromise the sphere of sexuality, causing the already described shortcomings.
If pathological problems must therefore be clinically resolved, many of the disorders that prevent good sexual performance can be remedied by improving one's lifestyle, taking care of prostate health, trying to reduce stress as much as possible, engaging in physical exercise, regulating sleep and lung activity, following a healthy diet and integrating some so-called aphrodisiac foods that support sexual function, hormone production, resistance, and holistic well-being of the body. Lifestyle is indeed an ally of sexual functionality, as well as all the body's functionalities.
We have seen how many of the sexual dysfunctions that occur in men can be attributed to a poor lifestyle and a diet lacking in nutrients, insufficient to support the body's activities and provide the energy required to face sexual performances. Sexual capacity is highly influenced by nutrition: a healthy diet protects the body from the most common sexual disorders, preventing erectile dysfunction, impotence, and lack of resistance.
In addition to taking aphrodisiac foods for men and their sexual functions, fertility, and hormone production, it is therefore important to integrate fruits, vegetables, quality proteins into one's diet, avoiding overly heavy and inflammatory foods such as fried foods, excessive dairy, processed meats, alcoholic beverages, and coffee, which can be replaced with one of the functional aphrodisiacs for men, such as guarana, to energize the body without the side effects of an espresso shot.
Often sexual issues are attributed to a lack of strength, tonicity, energy, and resistance, a lack of focus, concentration, and desire, poor circulation: it is in this sense that aphrodisiac foods for men can be useful in supporting the body. Not foods wrapped in myth, to which the power of awakening passion and sexual appetite is attributed due to their shape or name, but rather herbs, plants, and foods capable of improving various aspects that compromise sexual capacity: from vasodilator foods that improve blood flow, to foods that improve hormone production or seminal fluid, to herbs and spices that stimulate libido, there are many natural ingredients that can concretely help combat sexual disorders and reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction or lack of desire.
When we talk about aphrodisiac herbs or foods, we are referring to natural substances and foods that enhance libido, stamina, virility, and vigor, or help with achieving and maintaining an erection. These are natural foods and substances that stimulate sexual excitement, provide the body with energy, strength, and in some cases, a good boost of testosterone. In addition to the classic elements that have become popular as aphrodisiacs, such as oysters and champagne, there are actually many herbs and plants with real effects on stamina and improving fertility. Let's see what are the most effective aphrodisiac foods for men:
Cocoa is a food rich in theobromine, a powerful vasodilator. Thanks to this active ingredient, cocoa increases libido, provides energy and concentration, and serotonin. It is considered a natural antidepressant, useful in case of lack of libido as depression can be a cause. On Terza Luna, you can find a high-quality organic cocoa powder.

Perhaps a less known plant compared to the classic foods listed as "aphrodisiacs", in traditional medicine for centuries, Tribulus Terrestris has been used for the treatment of impotence and erectile dysfunction and for increasing fertility, as well as for cardiovascular diseases and abdominal bloating.
