What foods are an aphrodisiac?

There are a number of foods that can help you and your partner get in the mood.

Chocolate can make you feel good by boosting serotonin levels, stimulating your orosensory responses and activating brain regions associated with mood.
Oysters are extremely high in zinc, a mineral needed to make healthy sperm
Fish contains omega-3 fats, which improve blood flow.
Some fruits (fig, pomegranate, peach, banana) and vegetables (asparagus, zucchini, eggplant), like herbs and spices, contain large amounts of phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are associated with a lower risk of erectile dysfunction.
A large study, which followed 25,000 men for ten years, found men who ate the most fruit (especially strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, citrus) had a 14% lower risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction over time. The lowest risk was among men who ate citrus fruit and/or blueberries more than three times a week. Researchers attributed this to higher intakes of powerful phytonutrients called anthocyanins and flavanoids, which give fruit their deep colours.

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

vegetables and legumes/bean
fruit
lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
