5 best foods for sexual stamina

These foods will make sure you perform your best in the sack.

Whether it's because of our busy schedules, getting older or just some stuff we not sure of, sometimes we lose that sexual stamina we have always had. We want to have sex, but we get tired easily or choose positions that are boring and require less energy. Over time though such makes us question if we are satisfying our partner. And for that very reason, we have found out which foods can inject that stamina back into your sex life. Here are the five foods you need to start eating now:

1. Watermelon


It's rich in the amino acid L-citrulline, which converts to L-arginine that then converts to nitric oxide which helps with blood flow to your penis and helps it get harder for longer.

2. Chilli Peppers


According to experts, snacking on chillis helps you get into the mood for sex and also helps you be a stallion that lasts longer during the baps.

3. Garlic


This surprised us, but garlic is a natural aphrodisiac according to experts. Garlic will help you with a stronger erection, sexual stamina and also help your heart keep healthy. It's a very good triple threader.

4. Nuts


We have often heard that nuts make you horny and research by experts has not only confirmed that, but also that they are good for our stamina. Nuts boost our endurance and energy because of the high levels of magnesium in them.

5. Beetroot


Often for many of us, that purple colour of beetroot is a turn-off. However, they have nitrates that help with making you a champ in the sack. So whether you eat them as the actual root or juice, they will boost your stamina.
