Aphrodisiac food

What are foods that contain aphrodisiacs

[rekstout]

There are two types of food which are often observed as having aphrodisiac properties - those with chemical and properties and those with sensual properties. For example - an Oyster is very high in Zinc but is pretty foul, most foods high in Zinc and Magnesium are purported have some aphrodisiac properties as do Ginseng, Ginger. The flip side is food like chocolate, cream and the like which have a sensual smooth pleasurable feeling on the tongue but have no direct chemical influence - chocolate maybe. Hope that helps

Here's your chocolate liscence (sort of)Chocolate contains pheylephylamine - the same hormone the brain triggers when you fall in love. Amongst other mildly psychoachtive components, choc. also contains tryptophan [is a chemical that the brain uses to make a neurotransmitter called serotonin] On the not-so-good side: Chocolate is processed with alkalis And on the really-rotten-news side: Chocolate is made with sugar. Which is addictive [after initial rush, insulin surges in {if it didn't, you'd die}, and does it's work of lowering the blood-sugar back to safe levels. The thing is, after the insulin has done this, your blood sugar is lower than it was before you ate sugar, and so triggers another craving for sugar [so you automatically find yourself eating a candy bar or drinking soda]. The cycle of sugar, insulin continues, and each time the blood sugar level progresses to EVEN LOWER, until you notice mood changes, or even worse[psychological symptoms]- which I did until someone, who I resented at the time, told me.
