When it comes to things that men are afraid of, kidney deficiency and impotence can be considered one of them. No man wants to be “virile” and “invincible”, therefore, everyone has a great and continuous passion for aphrodisiacs. The Chinese people are very concerned about aphrodisiacs, searching around for foods and medicines that can aphrodisiacs, but most of them have little understanding of the reasoning behind them, leading to frequent misunderstandings. In fact, food can be an aphrodisiac, but it is just self-importance. The reasons why food is misunderstood can aphrodisiac, mainly divided into these categories: 1, the smell of stimulating can aphrodisiac: spices, truffles, the smell of a class of food, was once thought to provoke sexual desire, especially truffles contain musky flavor, but also by the ancient Greeks and Romans convinced that it has aphrodisiac effect. However, studies have shown that stimulation with spices can excite the brain dopamine receptors and stimulate sexual desire. The penis and vagina have a limited degree of congestion. 2, the shape to complement the shape can aphrodisiac: traditional Chinese health concept that “the shape can complement the shape”, many people will be one-sided that a variety of animal whips, chili peppers, elephant mussels, which are similar to the shape of the penis food, can play the aphrodisiac effect. The reproductive organs of animals such as bull whips and goat whips do contain androgens and guanylate cyclase when they are grown on animals. But after the edible meat is made, the efficacy will be reduced. As for the chili pepper aphrodisiac is even more far-fetched, there is no sufficient scientific basis. People’s imagination is not only that, oysters because of the resemblance to the female vulva; elephant mussel, sea cucumber and other cylindrical shape and penis similar; the key to the above food contains a variety of amino acids, peptides, protein, cholesterol and zinc, selenium and other trace elements, so also has a certain aphrodisiac effect. 3, nutritional supplements can aphrodisiac: leek, should be the most widely spread “aphrodisiac food”, also known as “aphrodisiac grass”. The actual aphrodisiac effect is slow, and the immediate aphrodisiac effect is not very obvious. In addition, yam, donkey meat, eggs are also the same, limited to the auxiliary, not the treatment, but also need to be used in conjunction with the normal use of drugs to be good. The strength of male sexuality is made up of many factors, such as psychological problems, organic lesions, bad habits such as smoking and alcohol abuse, and age. The actual food may have some ingredients to help the Yang, but it needs to be taken for a longer period of time and has limited effect. If it is said that after eating a certain food really “alive and well”, it may be the role of psychological suggestion, exaggerating the aphrodisiac effect of a certain food is obviously exaggerated. If you have impotence or premature ejaculation, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner and get the right treatment after identifying the cause. Do not prescribe yourself medicine or take health products indiscriminately, which will only make you more and more deficient and delay your condition. References: [1] Sun Zixue.
