5 Steps to becoming an emotionally available partner

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 08:00 AM PST

In any robust and healthy relationship, both parties are usually emotionally available.

In simple terms, emotional availability means being able to express and control one's emotions - it's the ability to develop a strong bond with your partner, it's the ability to demonstrate vulnerability without holding back.

You might think it's pretty easy to be emotionally available, but you'd be wrong. Some people have a hard time being emotionally available not only in their love life but also with their friends and acquaintances. Perhaps while they were growing up, they experienced some traumatic events and have developed this "steel" persona as a coping mechanism, but most times, these people end up having a series of casual relationships with no emotions attached, they hate commitment and find it difficult (and might even hate) to share their feelings. As a result, their relationships (both platonic and romantic) end up in shambles.

Thus, if you feel you're emotionally unavailable or if your partner(s) constantly complain(s) about your emotional unavailability, then these 5 tips would help you become more emotionally available.

1. Accept responsibility

Responsibility is taking ownership of your actions. It means holding yourself accountable for your mistakes and taking the necessary steps to repairing your relationship. This implies that when you make a mistake or fail to honor a commitment, rather than act like nothing happened, learn to apologize. Acknowledge and work on your flaws, it will help you become a more lovable person.

2. Develop trust

Trust is the bedrock of every successful relationship. Trust requires commitment and vulnerability. And this is why we find it difficult to trust people - we're scared of commitment and we don't want to appear vulnerable.

However, breaking down these trust barriers and overcoming your serious fear of commitment is one of the greatest steps to becoming a better partner. You develop trust by letting go of that crazy past experience and believing your partner has your best Interest at heart.

3. Be open hearted

Life they say, is not a bed of roses. So, as expected in your relationship, there are bound to be highs and lows. Unwavering acceptance of your relationship's highs and lows can help you become a stable and emotionally available partner.

Thus, keep your heart open; enjoy the highs and embrace the lows, don't jump ship at the slightest hint of trouble. Sometimes, it pays to stick it out.

4. Spend time with your partner

Creating time for the one you love is a great sign of emotional availability. Making plans, buying gifts, surprising your partner with a date, and planning a trip demonstrates that you are emotionally attentive and available to your partner. Start carving out some alone and quality time with your partner.

5. Share your emotions

You should be able to openly communicate your emotions, thoughts, and feelings to your partner. Bottling up your emotions will only make you bitter and leave your partner confused. It is common knowledge that every successful relationship thrives on effective communication, so don't be scared to be vulnerable, say what you feel, it doesn't matter if it's happiness, sadness or anger, communicate it effectively.

It's better to say you're angry than to stay quiet and give the silent treatment.

So go ahead and use these five ideas; your partner will undoubtedly notice a significant difference in you.

6 foods to make if you have a stomach ulcer

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 06:00 AM PST

Here are six recipes that will relieve your ulcer

Most people believe that stomach ulcer is caused by insufficient consumption of food at the right time, but there are no data to confirm this.

Based on research, it has been verified that stomach ulcers are caused by one of the following;

An infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.
Stomach ulcers occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices reduces. This allows digestive acids to eat away at the tissues that line the stomach, causing an ulcer.

Having an ulcer will require you to change your diet, so don't eat what will irritate the wounded stomach lining.

Cabbage
Cabbage helps in relieving the pain and symptoms.

It contains primary substances of cabbage juice like; L-glutamine, S-methyl methionine (also known as vitamin U), glucosinolates, and gefarnate.

These substances help heal the mucous membrane surrounding the stomach and the digestive tract.

Fresh cabbage
Blender

Honey works wonders in treating stomach ulcers. It has natural healing properties that soothe the pain with a pleasant relief and reduce stomach inflammation.

How to take;

Take a tablespoon of honey daily before breakfast or you can eat it any time of the day with wheat bread. 
3. Berries

Berries like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries are also friendly foods for stomach ulcers, but I will focus on strawberries.

Strawberries are rich in antioxidants and fibers that can help keep your tummy healthy.

How to eat;

Strawberries should be rinsed with cold water just before you eat them. Don't wash and store them else, it will generate molds on them.
Strawberries can be eaten alone or added to meals like;

Oatmeal, whole-grain cereal, or yoghurt
Added to beverages or smoothies
4. Garlic

Garlic helps prevent the development of ulcers and speeds up the healing process. It contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which make it helpful in fighting infections.

Sperm- killers, here are 7 things that men need to watch out for

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 04:30 AM PST

Sperm can be powerful little swimmers, that's for sure, however they aren't very tough. All sorts of seemingly little things can throw them off their game, making them useless and affecting your virility.

Find out exactly what affects sperm, here.

Research shows that up to 15 percent of couples are infertile which means that they aren't able to conceive a child, even though they are having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer. Male infertility plays a role in over a third of such cases.

Male infertility is due to low sperm production, abnormal sperm function or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors can play a role in causing male infertility.

Not being able to conceive a child can be stressful and frustrating, but a number of male infertility treatments are available.

Often, men are ignorant as to the factors that affect male infertility but we have a list of the sperm-killers you should watch out for.

Take a look!

1. Too much testosterone
It may seem bizarre but there is such a thing as having too much testosterone. Yes, it takes a lot of testosterone to make sperm, but testosterone supplements can actually have an adverse effect on the body's sperm-making machinery.

That's because too much testosterone shuts down the pituitary, the gland that regulates the testicles' production of sperm. Some scientists have even suggested using testosterone as a male contraceptive but research on its efficacy is scarce.

In any case, monitor your testosterone levels if you are struggling to conceive and you may just find your answer.

2. Ditch the weed
The chemical in marijuana that makes you feel high, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can affect your sperm count and keep it lower than ideal.

THC is mimics testosterone, so smoking weed exposes sperm to a hormonal imbalance that can cause sperm counts to fall. In fact, Marjuana isn't the only drug that can affect male hormones. Heavy use of narcotics like the morphine derivative hydromorphone (Dilaudid) can cause testosterone levels to plummet. When that happens, a guy's sperm production - and sex drive, goes totally out of the window!

3. The toll of tobacco
Toxins in tobacco smoke can cause sperm to swim slowly, this is known as lazy sperm.

Furthermore, they can damage sperm cells' DNA cargo. And cigarettes can do their damage even if guys themselves don't smoke.

4. It's getting hot in here...
Heat is extremely dangerous for sperm and sperm production. The testicles, which is where sperm cells are made are 'designed' to stay about seven degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the body. If the testicle temperature rises above that level, sperm inevitably slows down.

Though it's not an exact science, one study found that regularly taking a hot bath or jacuzzi can hurt fertility. Other research has shown that resting a laptop on your lap can have the same damaging effect.

Of course, there are many babies born to men that take baths and use laptops, so the jury is still out.

5. Ring my bell
Semen exposed to the radio waves emitted by cell phones can result in damage to sperm, recent studies have shown. Although it goes without saying that most people will be "protected" by skin and clothing, until the science is disproved completely, it probably makes sense for men to keep their cell phones someplace other than a jean pocket.

6. Too fat to function
Obesity has been linked to poor sperm, possibly by lowering levels of testosterone and raising levels of the female hormone estrogen (a little of which all men have). The fatter a guy is, the worse his hormonal situation and therefore, the more sperm issues he's likely to have.

7. Sperm poison
Radiation, including that from X-rays can stop sperm production inside the testicles. The bigger the dose, the longer it takes sperm to recover. Very big doses can render men permanently sterile, but the occasional X-ray, experts say, isn't enough to put you at any permanent risk.

Here are 5 healthy habits for your kidney

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 04:00 AM PST

Keeping your kidney in good condition is important to your general well-being.

The kidney is responsible for producing hormones that regulate blood pressure and control the production of red blood cells.

They activate a form of vitamin D that helps your body absorb calcium for building bones and regulating muscle function.

Kidney diseases are silent killers that can affect your quality of life. I have put together easy healthy habits to care for your kidney and reduce the risk of developing kidney disease.

Stop smoking
Smoking increases your risk of cancer. It weakens and damages your body's blood vessels which slow the flow of blood from your body, to your kidney. Stop smoking!

2. Control your blood sugar

Consumption of many sugary foods will force your body to work extra hard to filter the sugar in your blood that is no longer useful. If this happens consistently, it can lead to life life-threatening damage. Moderation is key!

3. Regular exercise

Regular exercise keeps your heart healthy, reduces blood pressure, and lowers the risk of chronic kidney disease. You don't have to engage in strenuous exercises; running, dancing, walking, engaging in house chores, and fun activities will yield great results.

4. Water

Drinking water is a crucial healthy habit for the kidney. Water helps in clearing sodium and toxins from your kidneys.

Consistent water intake helps you stay hydrated, lowers your risk of chronic kidney disease, and curbs the deposition of kidney stones in the future.

Ensure you drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres daily.

5. Eat healthily and monitor your weight

Eat foods made with fresh ingredients and fruits, avoid eating junk foods.

Monitor your weight to curb the risk of experiencing health conditions like; heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Your kidneys are vital to your wellbeing, taking care of them should be your top priority. Ensure you maintain a health-conscious and active lifestyle for your kidney to stay healthy.

The demand for plantain has increased due to its health benefits

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 03:30 AM PST

Plantain occupies a strategic position for rapid food production in Nigeria.

It is ranked third among starchy staples. The country's output doubled in the last 20 years. Production, which is concentrated in the Southern part of the country, still remains largely in the hands of small scale farmers who, over the years have ingeniously integrated it into various cropping systems.

Contributions of plantain to the income of rural households in major producing areas in Nigeria continue to increase tremendously in the last few years. Unlike some other starchy staples whose demand tends to fall with rising income, demand for plantain increases with increasing income. The question is; Why is the demand for plantain high? It's because the components in plantain are beneficial to a person's well being.

Here are the health benefits of plantain;

Plantains are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain antioxidants that fight free radicals.
It has low fat source of starchy carbohydrates 
It contains a potassium-rich diet that helps to regulate blood pressure and lower the risk of stroke. 
Plantains have vitamin B6 which is essential for the metabolism of macronutrients, healthy red blood cells, and neurotransmitters.
According to United States Department of Agriculture, one cup of baked yellow plantain contains:

239 calories
57.5 grams (g) of carbs
2.1 g of protein
0.2 g of fat
3.06 g of fiber
So, join the train and stock up your store with plantains and enjoy the healthy benefits.

Here are 4 ways to spend valentine as a single guy

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 03:00 AM PST

In case you are caught up in the FOMO.

The single years are crucial for self-development and growth. Not only does it prepare you for being in a serious and committed relationship, but it also builds you in such a manner that when you finally meet the one, she knows she has bagged a real deal. However, before then, do not get carried by the grand gestures on social media this valentine season. In your process of being a high-value Guy, here are four ways you can spend February 14, as all the cakes and roses flyg around.

Go to the gym
You have probably seen photos of bulky men, and you have desired that for yourself. What better day to begin your journey to your desired physique? You probably inserted gyming in your new year's resolutions; however, you are yet to lift a single weight. What better way to spend a day of love, than showing some love to your body and future self. On February 14, begin with those muscles. Start that gym membership.

Call your family
Most times, when we search for things we want, we often tend to forget the things we already have. Before spending money and attention on a girlfriend or sidechick, call your family, parents, and siblings. Appreciate the family you have before you locate your missing rib.

Go to church or mosque.
Valentine's day is indeed a celebration of love. However, it's pretty bad that this love is often so romanticized that we forget the purest form of love ever, which is from God. One excellent way to spend a day of love is by spending it with the spiritual embodiment of it.

Champions league
While you have spent the entire day doing any of the activities listed above, what better way to crown it all by watching the new season of the UEFA champions league that kicks off with PSG vs Real Madrid a few hours after valentines day ends.

5 types of female orgasm and how to achieve it

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 02:00 AM PST

The female orgasm is a mysterious concept - rare and hard to come by.

Few women have experienced orgasm. Only 46% of women have orgasmed, and even fewer women have experienced all types.

Let's just get down to the different types of female orgasm and how to achieve them.

1. G -spot orgasm
Typically, a female's g-spot is on top of her vaginal canal, at the back of the pubic bone. A g-spot orgasm is hard to come by, but when it happens it is mindblowing.

It can be achieved with curved fingers or a toy that puts a lot of pressure on the vagina's wall.

2. Clitoral orgasm
Clitoral orgasms are gotten from the stimulation of the clitoris.

The clitoris is that hooded figure above the urethra. The clitoris exists solely for pleasure and once it is stimulated, orgasms are guaranteed.

3. Blended orgasm
This type of orgasm will blow a woman's mind.

This is a mixture of a g-spot orgasm and a clitoral orgasm

They can be gotten by stimulating the g-spot and the clitoris simultaneously. Obviously, expertise is required to achieve this.

4. Deep penetrative orgasm
Deep penetrative orgasm is achieved when the cervix is stimulated deeply.

Most times, during penetrative intercourse, this is the type of orgasm most people aim for, but you must be very aroused for this to happen.

A good tip is to spend time doing foreplay and use lubrication.

5. Anal orgasm
Although the anus doesn't have an erogenous or erotic zone, it is possible to orgasm from anal sex because the nerves surrounding the anus may get stimulated.

It is okay if anal sex is not for you and you don't want to do it. It can be painful, take extra care and do not use random objects because they might get lost in there or cause injury.

‘I May lose my mind when next I hear ‘fat women are lazy in bed’’

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 02:00 AM PST

It's such an unnecessary slander.

'#WomenTalkSexByPulse' is Pulse's weekly series designed to capture the thoughts of everyday Nigerian women on sexual health, pleasure, and what women expect good sex to be and feel like.

#WomenTalkSex this week is told in the voice of a plus-size Nigerian woman who gives her opinion on a popular belief people have about the athleticism of women like her. Read on.

Tell me what you love most about your sex life right now

The fact that it's quiet and peaceful. It's like an echo chamber right now. LMAO.

LOL. So… drought season?

Yup yup. It's been 84 years.

Hahaha. Nice one. I felt that. How's it going though, and really how long's it been?

Just a few months. About 7 months actually. And it has been very weird. This is one weird ass celibacy journey for sure.

How so?

It's actually how easy it's been to just lock up. I didn't see that coming at all. But then again, this hiatus is not exactly something I planned. So I guess the months just crept up on me and I just realised that I'd not been dicked down in all these months.

Maybe that's even the trick to staying sane through it; not thinking about it at all.

Exactly! I mean, I've not been fixated on it, so it hasn't seemed much of an issue. I expect it to be more stressful in the coming months actually. Because, now that Valentine is coming and romance and love is all up in the air, it is difficult to not remember that I've been starving for so long. LOL. And let's face it, all this romance in the air is only leading to mass fornication and serious genital-meet-and-greet.

LMAO. True that. So, the plan is to get it this valentine?

Omo. It'd be nice sha. I can't lie. But it's not looking like it at all. Story of my fucked up life

Eiya.

Hahaha. Baba say eiya. It is what it is sha. Please don't dig more into that.

Copy that. Wanted to ask though: what do you think of the common opinion that big women are lazy in bed?

As per 'fat girls no sabi f*** and other stories'?

Yup. That one.

Mtchew. It's only those who have had wack sex that always say stuff like that. I have another wild opinion that I heard from a friend and I kinda agree with her. But it's raw and I'm not sure you would want to hear it

LMAO. Says who?

Ok. So she said it's men with small D who usually struggle with plus size women and I totally agree. So once I hear anyone say that I just say in my mind: 'Hmm, tell us you have a small D without saying you have a small D?'

Hahaha. Omo.

Yup yup. Women are women. If she's good, you will enjoy it and if she's wack, she's wack. It has nothing to do with size. But men with small D's might be totally hopeless with thick and fat women for obvious reasons. So they end up blaming the women, saying they are lazy bla bla bla. Such unnecessary slander. I'll lose my mind when next I hear that fat women are lazy in bed because that generalization itself is what is lazy.

You know women say that too, right?

I guess that'd maybe be skinny or slim women? They probably do that to prop up themselves and further an agenda that favours them. But mostly, I'll chuck it down to ignorance sha. Because that is what it is.

Someone has thrown this at you at some point, haven't they?

Not directly but yeah. And I didn't hesitate to tell them everything I've said here. Besides, I don't think any of my partners would have such opinions after being with me so, it doesn't bother me much. I just dey like to educate people wey like to talk rubbish.

Fair point. So you'd say you are a 10/10?

Ah. Na you talk that one o.

LOL. You tell me what you'd rate yourself then?

A 7 actually. But that's not for a lack of effort and athleticism sha o. I do have some fire in my belly if I do say so myself.

Osheeeeey.

I think it's other things like this stupid drought and other emotional rubbish that often takes away from the experience of sex.

Here are 3 reasons cancel culture does not make sense

Posted: 13 Feb 2022 09:00 PM PST

So many things come with being woke and one of them is cancel culture.

Cancel culture or cancelling a celebrity means people will not engage, buy, listen or watch anything a cancelled celebrity does or puts out. They are cancelled.

Does that make any sense? Here are three reasons cancel culture makes no sense;

1. Celebrities are not role models
Celebrities are not heavenly beings walking among men. They make mistakes, say offensive things and even commit crimes.

Why do celebrities have more moral burdens than the average human being? In a way, you can call them role models, but not all of them want to be role models.

Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie has emphatically said that she is no role model because that is such an enormous burden to place on anyone. Are our parents even worthy role models?

2. Celebrities should not be punished more than an average person will be
How would you treat an average person? Then, treat them that way.

That being said, it does not mean we should condone everything they do because they are celebrities.

Recently, a museum security guard lost his job for defacing an expensive painting. So, actions have consequences.

This should not make them evade the consequences of their decisions, but the punishment must be commensurate to the crime.

There is a place for learning and forgiveness.

3. The rules of cancelling celebrities are arbitrary
Not all celebrities can be cancelled. Other footballers have done the worst things to their teammates and they were not penalized as much.

Some celebrities have done too much or are too influential that they will not cower to the woke crowd.

An easy example is 'Harry Potter' Author JK Rowlings who refused to admit that Transmen are women and then people started burning her books, that was a ridiculous time in history.

Rapper, Kanye West keeps says outrageous things but he is yet to be cancelled.

The rules of cancellation are arbitrary. Tiwa Savage was dragged for having a sex tape, but musician Oxlade was applauded.

At the end of the day, celebrities should be held to the same standard as everyone else and not a higher one and except it is a crime, depriving them of their source of income is pretty mean.

I am here in beautiful Ekiti state in the middle of the country at this amazing waterfall. I am completely safe. I am not dead. Everything is fine about this trip. Even though Nigeria gets a bad name in International media and news, None of that is true"

7 challenges content creators face

Posted: 13 Feb 2022 07:00 AM PST

Which of these do you relate to most?

The art of content creation is a sacred calling. One that a selected few have been chosen to shoulder. The ability to create something novel, in any form, be it video, music, story, painting, fashion design, or any state of art, is a thrilling feeling. However, while talent and the various manifestations of it are pretty, sometimes along the journey, especially during the early stages of the prospective careers, it entails some ugly, frustrating stages that are capable of causing the creative to give up if the right resources to pull through are not utilized.

Here are seven challenges content creators face before, during and after bringing their ideas to life. Are you a content creator? Which of these do you relate to the most.

Burnouts
A burnout is a kind of mental and physical exhaustion that usually comes after a prolonged period of intense productivity. What sucks most about burnout is that the content creator isn't even aware of it at the moment; As a result, you are basically not willing to do anything. You just lay on the bed, staring at your ring light or your laptop screen, sewing machine, unable to think or act on any idea. However, the worst part of burnout is not the depressing numbness; it is the guilt of idleness that comes with it.

Creative blocks
A creative block is closely linked to burnout, but the significant difference between this and the latter, is that the energy to work is there, but the idea to execute is totally absent.

Financial challenges
Creating refined content requires top-notch equipment, expensive software programs, premium subscription plans, props etc. Content creators, not privileged to have financial sponsors, have to shoulder these expenses, merging them with their personal cost of living. Some creators have to literally starve to save funds to procure the required gears to create in the most professionally and appealing way possible.

Unsupportive friends & family
A creative's journey is made easier with the right support system. However, the presence of cynical and pessimistic friends may be discouraging or motivational depending on the creator's personality. Now, this factor coming from friends is quite dismissible, but it's heart-wrenching when it comes from family.

Imposter syndrome
This is arguably the most common challenge even successful artists in their primes and upcoming creatives starting their respective journeys seldom experience. 'Imposter syndrome' is the feeling of being a fraud. It is rooted in self-doubt, and stunted confidence, usually after facing several rejections. Every creative confronts Imposter Syndrome at one point or another, and sadly, only the strong-hearted don't give in to that lying voice in the head.

Insufficient time
For a creative mind, 24 hours in a day is not enough. How content creators work is not the same as a regular 9-5 worker. Time is everything for content creators; that is why they are always busy. They will tell you they are busy because a hundred content ideas are running through their minds even when they are practically doing nothing. Every minute counts for content creators. For that reason, they do not have time for unproductive activities or discussions.

Are you a content creator, aspiring artist, or general creative? When having the experiences, understand you are not alone. Are you a friend, partner, family of a content creator? understand them.

Natural foods that helps you last longer in bed

Posted: 13 Feb 2022 06:00 AM PST

Do you want to know the natural foods to help you last longer in bed? Then read on to know how you can become a much better lover!

Sexual satisfaction is important for a happy, healthy relationship. A man once heard that eating the scrotum or buttocks of an animal will help increase his sex drive.

Two weeks before his wife's return from a trip abroad, he ate nothing other than the scrotum of a goat. The day she finally arrived, he couldn't go beyond the first round when she was just getting started. Poor guy!

You don't have to be that guy. There are actually natural foods to help you last longer in bed.

Why people don't last long in bed?
1. Physical and emotional stress/ ill-health
People don't last long in bed due to reasons like stress, depression, weakness, ill-health, hormonal imbalance, and so many other reasons. If you have premature ejaculation and don't take the time to eat natural foods to help you last longer in bed, your condition may not improve at all.

2. Alcohol
Do you know that too much alcohol does not encourage longevity in bed? Sadly, many people believe that if they get drunk, they can make love all night. Firstly, because they are drunk and tired, the possibility of lasting at all becomes rather slim. Also, in the long run, their sex drive and longevity in bed are reduced.

How to last longer in bed?
Apart from eating natural foods to help you last longer in bed, there are other things you can do to help you become a master in the bedroom.

• Are you in the mood?
You must get yourself in the mood for sex, otherwise, no matter what your partner does to turn you on, you will not last long in bed.

• Foreplay
Lovemaking starts from the desire and the teases before the main act. Foreplay can prolong sex and help you last longer in bed. The important thing is to find out what your partner likes and administer it excellently. Once you have helped your partner achieve orgasm, no one will be watching the clock to see how long you last!

• Medication
This is not really the aim in this article, as we want to tell you about natural foods to help you last longer in bed. Medications should be taken as a last resort when other options have failed.

• Slow and steady wins the race
let's be frank, sex requires intense amounts of energy. Enjoy it, don't rush to finish. Put a lot into every touch and every kiss.

• Masturbation
Unpopular opinion: masturbation can buy you time. To get in the mood for sex, you can masturbate first before she arrives. It will get you started and also take the urgency out of the way.

• Eat natural foods to help you last longer in bed
The right foods will help boost your longevity in bed. Hopefully, you will even beat your own record. Nutrition can help you last longer in bed!

How to use food to last longer in bed?
Natural foods to help you last longer in bed are mostly fruits and vegetables. You have to make sure you pack your diet full of these whole foods. It all starts and ends with nutrition!

These are the natural foods to eat if you want to last longer in bed:

Red Grape
The red grape is nature's Viagra. Red grape contains boron, which helps in the production of estrogen and testosterone. An increase in the production of these two hormones means you get into the mood for sex without effort. If you have an appointment for the bedroom at night, start in the morning to eat your red grapes.

Be prepared. An alternative is drinking red wine (preferably non-alcoholic), red grape juice or any wine that is majorly made of red grape.

Banana
Banana is a great longevity booster for men. If you want super-firm erections, bananas are the way to go. Eating lots of bananas will ensure that when you need an erection, you'll have a strong one.

Yoghurt
This is a great one for the ladies. Yoghurt helps to balance the PH level of the vagina, so include it in your diet if you want to improve your sex life.

Spicy foods
Spicy foods can improve the sex drive of both men and women because they dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. You can also increase the production of testosterone and improve sex drive with spicy food. Also, spicy foods are vasodilators. They can relax your body, reduce blood pressure, etc. These two alone are enough to get you started.

Avocados
Avocados give you energy for anything including sex. This wonder fruit is rich in folic acid.

Spinach: Spinach is rich in magnesium, which helps to dilate blood vessels to allow easy flow of blood all over the body (and to the penis when you need it).

Watermelon
Just like spinach, watermelon also relaxes the blood vessels, which, in turn, increases sexual arousal.

Meat: healthy meat helps to improve your blood flow especially beef, chicken, and pork. Increase in blood flow means an increase in sex drive.

Nuts
Walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, tiger-nuts, coconut, dates, are natural foods to help you last longer in bed. Walnut gives double the result.

Kunu drink aya AKA tiger nut milk
Date is a natural aphrodisiac, so if you mix dates, tiger-nuts and coconuts and blend them together to extract the juice, the drink is sure to fire your libido, whether you're a man or a woman.

What these foods do, basically, is to relax your mind, open up your veins, and get your body working properly. These foods will relax your body and improve blood flow, which is essential for arousal. Most importantly, these natural foods to help you last longer in bed will improve your overall health.

It's not too late to add these foods to your 2019 meal plan.
