5.Asparagus - Suggestion is everything
Many people believe that it is the suggestive shape of the asparagus that has made people think it's going to boost their sex drive. This can be the case, but there is something more to the asparagus, and that is folate. It's a B complex vitamin and boosts the production of histamine. This, as medical experts will tell you, is very important if you want a healthy sex drive. So, if you have an empty patch in your garden, why not plant some asparagus? Make it an important part of your diet and rest assured, you'll never see a dip in your sex drive.
6.Celery - A puny little thing packing a punch
You look at celery and and say to yourself "This is not something that's going to jack up my libido". But you are wrong. Doctors say that celery increases the levels of man's pheromone in his sweat. This makes him attractive to women. But there is a word of caution. You need to make sure that celery is organic.
