Internationally–acclaimed dietitian,
Lauren Harris-Pincus, has revealed that
certain foods contain ingredients capable
of making sex boring, less enjoyable and
not worth the trouble.
In a recent study, Harris-Pincus said that
these foods could make you gassy, cause
some stomach discomfort, and even kill
the libido. You sure don’t want any of
these!
Here is a list of foods to avoid before
sex…
Beans: “Beans are known as the ‘musical
fruit’ because of their oligosaccharides,
which we cannot digest in the stomach
and small intestines,” says Pincus. “If
you are prone to gassiness, don’t eat
bean before approaching your partner for
sex.”
Onions: Although they’re a tasty and
healthy food, onions can cause bad
breath because of its smelly sulfur
compounds which linger in the mouth
and become absorbed in the bloodstream,
according to WebMD. So, avoid onions
before sex.
Garlic: Garlicky meal can be unbearable,
says Pincus. In addition to bad breath,
garlic can also cause stomach aches, as
some people are sensitive to fructants, a
compound found in the food. So, keep off
it, at least for tonight.
Cruciferous vegetables: Cruciferous
vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts, and cabbage are all
healthy choices, but like beans, they are
very likely to cause some gas and
bloating. “They not only cause more gas,
but stinky gas, thanks to the sulfur,” says
Pincus.
Coffee: Sure, coffee is great for
increased energy, but it also messes with
your blood sugar levels, which could end
up messing with your adrenal glands,
experts at online portal, Prevention, say.
This could increase stress hormone,
cortisol; and in turn could affect your
testosterone, resulting in a drop of sexual
desire and response. Again, coffee could
cause an upset stomach.
Sugar-free sweets: Sugar-free sweets
might seem healthy, but they contain
sorbitol, a sugar substitute that can leave
you feeling nasty. “Many people
experience unpleasant gastrointestinal
side effects after consuming too much
sorbitol,” says Pincus.
Red meat: Eating red meat before sex
could lead to blasting foul-smelling gas.
Meats such as pork and beef contain
methionine, an amino acid with sulfur
that can leave you with smelly fart, notes
the online portal, Thrillist.
Soda water: No one likes to feel bloated
when they’ve got a night out; but soda
water can cause just that! Drinking
carbonated water can lead to a build-up
of air in the stomach, which could leave
you with uncontrollable belching, bloating,
and abdominal discomfort, according to
Livestrong.
French fries: French fries are high in
sodium, which could lead to some
uncomfortable bloating. They’re also high
on the glycaemic index and are difficult
to digest, which could leave you feeling
tired and low on energy, experts at
Livestrong say.
