Garlic and libido
[Link to article about the health benefits of garlic]
There is some evidence to suggest that garlic may help to increase libido in both men and women.
In one study, men who took garlic capsules for four weeks reported an increase in libido and sexual desire. [Link to study] Another study found that garlic increased sperm count and motility in men with infertility. [Link to study]
Garlic contains a compound called allicin, which is thought to be responsible for its libido-boosting effects. Allicin may help to increase blood flow to the genitals and improve erectile function in men. It may also help to increase testosterone levels, which can lead to an increase in libido in both men and women.
In addition, garlic is a good source of vitamins and minerals that are important for sexual health, such as vitamin B6, zinc, and magnesium.
However, more research is needed to confirm the effects of garlic on libido. Additionally, it is important to note that garlic can interact with certain medications, so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking garlic supplements.
Here are some ways to incorporate more garlic into your diet:
- Add garlic to your favorite recipes, such as stir-fries, pasta dishes, and soups.
- Make garlic bread or garlic butter.
- Roast garlic and add it to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
- Take garlic capsules or supplements.
If you are considering taking garlic supplements, be sure to choose a high-quality product from a reputable manufacturer.
