Struggling to get it on in the bedroom is absolutely normal. The nerves get the best of us and we simply can’t perform the task at hand. However, sometimes, it’s more than just nerves. Food is another thing that can affect our sex life. Just as there are foods that can boost your sex drive, there are others that kill the mood in the bedroom. From bloating to bad breath, here are some foods you should avoid before sex.

  1. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a superfood and high skyrocketed in popularity as the go-to breakfast meal. There’s no doubt that it’s jam-packed with nutrients that are essential in our bodies. However, if you’re trying to get intimate, this isn’t the go-to food. Doctors suggest that the same chemical that lower stress also lowers sex drive. If you enjoy a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, say goodbye to a little fooling around. 6 Health Benefits Of Oats

  1. Soy

Soy or soya is another super healthy food that can cause problems in the bedroom. It’s a high-quality protein derived from an Asian plant and is mainly used as a replacement for animal protein. While it’s a great food substitute, studies have found that soy can affect the male reproductive system. It reduces sperm count and testosterone levels which leads to low libido in men. The Health Benefits Of Soybeans Or Soyabeans

  1. Beans

An obvious culprit, beans can quickly ruin a romantic night. They contain sugar molecules that turn into gas once they reach the gut and the last thing you want when you’re trying to have sex is being gassy. So, no matter how tempting it is, try to stay away from beans as much as possible before getting intimate. The Health And Nutritional Benefits Of Beans

  1. Broccoli/Cauliflower

Veggies are always good for you, right? For the most part of it, veggies are beneficial to our bodies. But in some situations, they can do more harm than good. One of those situations is when you’re trying to be intimate. Some vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts are known to cause bloating and gas. This is due to its high fibre content which accelerates digestion. So, next time you prepare dinner for your partner or go out to eat, skip the broccoli. 7 Health Benefits Of Broccoli

  1. French Fries

Most of us love to order French fries when we go out to eat. However, if you’re going on a date that might lead to sex later on, avoid ordering fries. The oil used to make French fries takes time to digest in the stomach making you feel full and bloated. This isn’t a pleasant feeling especially when you’re trying to get it on and it can kill the mood very quickly. Go for something lighter instead like rice or even mashed potatoes.

  1. Coffee

Coffee helps you wake up in the morning and stay alert throughout the day. However, when it comes to bedroom matters, it can slow things down. First, the increased adrenaline in the body together with caffeine could make you jittery and anxious causing performance anxiety. Additionally, coffee disrupts hormone-regulating glands causing testosterone levels to drop. You can do away with coffee and switch to other energy-boosting beverages like a green smoothie or matcha. 5 Smoothie Recipes To Boost Your Energy

  1. Chilli

Eating spicy food right before having sex could be a recipe for disaster. It’s worse if you’re not used to chilli or spices but even for the pros, spicy food is a no-no especially if you’re having a large meal. Chilli increases acidity in the stomach causing you to experience acid reflux. Additionally, movements while being intimate could trigger symptoms that can make things uncomfortable in the bedroom. Be careful about eating chilli and other spicy foods before sex. Health: 6 Reasons Why You Should Add Cayenne Pepper To Your Diet
