6. Almonds and pumpkin seeds: They’re high in zinc, which can normalize your menstrual cycle and regulate hormones. Zinc can also boost your immune system and your mood.

7. Hot chillies: They contain capsaicin, which improves blood circulation and stimulates nerve endings. That’s good for arousal.

8. Guava, kiwi, oranges, and green peppers: They are full of vitamin C, which helps with stamina and keeps your sex drive going by removing the free radicals that disrupt normal sexual health.

9. Dark chocolate: The high-flavonoid kind is a great source of antioxidants and women who eat at least a square a day report increased desire and better overall sexual function.

Bon Appétit adds, “chocolate is also rich in magnesium (which soothes nerves), methylxanthines (boosts libido) and phenylalanine, an amino acid that produces dopamine (the feel-good chemical).”

If you add just a few of these to your meals, your vagina will thank you.
