Watermelon is one of the most delicious fruits. You’ll be happy to hear that it’s also a food that can upgrade your libido. It contains lycopene, an ingredient that increases the blood flow and relaxes blood vessels.

Most nuts have the ability to improve your sex drive, but walnuts are definitely on top of the list. These libido foods have an effect on sperm, by influencing its quality in many different ways.

Spinach
Spinach is a part of the libido foods group although you probably never would’ve thought of it. This leafy green vegetable influences your blood flow and increases it. It is packed in magnesium, which is the main reason why that happens.
Did you know Dark Chocolate
Aside from being an innocent treat, dark chocolate can upgrade your libido. This is all done by elevating the levels of two hormones that get you in the mood. Serotonin and dopamine can affect stress levels, make you calm and relaxed. Chocolate also is considered to improve the blood flow.

]]>Tempeh
Tempeh is a soybean product and a very rich probiotic food. It is packed in Vitamin B12, and a great substitute for tofu. You can have it baked, fried, steamed, seasoned and more.
. For those that know of Earth Day, it shouldn’t be just one single day that we keep the Earth in our thoughts. Every action you make can leave a positive or negative mark on the world. I have chosen to do everything I can to minimize harm to the Earth. And while I am no where near perfect and still making mistakes along the way, I want to do my best to learn more and more about the things I can do to minimize the damage already done. 
. I made a choice almost 9 years ago to go vegan. Originally, that choice was specifically for health. As time has gone on, I realized what a powerful choice that was. Even past the ethical side, it’s probably one of the least harmful to the environment around us. 
Food production, water, hunger, deforestation, ocean life, etc…its all heavily impacted by the choices on our plate. And while I’m not expecting everyone to go vegan, I hope that this is an encouragement for you to consider accepting more plants in your life, become informed about the environment and practices that impact the Earth, make more conscious decisions towards your health, learn more empathy towards yourself and others, and become active members of the solution. That can look like replacing meat with a serving of plant based protein options, being involved with the political scene and making sure that individuals making it into office care about our planet, choosing reusable containers, packing your own lunch…really almost anything. Remember that every small move absolutely counts. 
. For dinner tonight decided on some sweet baked plantains, broccoli, baked tempeh, avocado, greens and zucchini. I made my tempeh by dicing 1/3 of a block of tempeh into cubes and tossing it together with 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sriracha, 1 tsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp maple syrup. 
Kombucha
Everyone’s new favorite drink is rich in bacteria that is very healthy for your overall health. This is a fermented tea that will help with detox and will boost your energy levels.

Kimchi
Kimchi is actually a fermented cabbage, often used in Asian meals. It is packed in Vitamin C and healthy bacteria.

Dark Chocolate
You sure are happy to see dark chocolate on the list. It is also placed on the probiotic-rich list of foods.
Yogurt
The natural probiotic we all need in our lives is yogurt. This is a very versatile food you can include in your meals in so many ways. When shopping for yogurt make sure that you read the ingredient list. You are looking for an organic product, made with cow, sheep or goat’s milk.
, we had almond yogurt with lemon peel and almond butter, homemade granola, toasted almonds and pine nuts and some really juicy black berries. Now Leni is fast asleep and I will walk to the market to cater for a long weekend. Hope you are all well…sending lots of love from sunny and warm Munich. #backhome #backinthekitchen #breakfast #breakfastbowl #breakfastclub #breakfastlover #veganfood #veganbowl @veganbowls #bestofvegan @bestofvegan @kayla_itsines #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthy #healthyliving #wholefoods #plantbased #yogurt #almondbutter #blackberries #berries #granola #homemade #homesweethome #food #foodlover #foodie #foodshare #foodphotography #love #gratitude #comfortfoodThe post 5 Super-Healthy Probiotic Foods appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
