Wanna how to set the scene for romance?
The always-interesting ivillage.com offers an intriguing reply from nutritionist Lynn Grieger, R.D., C.D., C.D.E. as to which foods make the best aphrodisiacs.
I love it! The woman was doing some research before cooking a romantic dinner for her husband. My friend told me that the Spanish Fly (https://myaphrodisiacs.com/is-spanish-fly-an-aphrodisiac/) is a great aphrodisiac and works really nicely crushed up and mixed in with food to get the blood racing!
Lynn — a savvy nutritionist, who did some research on my upcoming book, SUGAR SHOCK! — dug up some tantalizing foods and intriguing explanations.
She suggests caviar, truffles and chocolate, as well as lesser-known aphrodisiacs asparagus, cappucino, radishes and garlic.
Very interesting, Lynn!
Read her romance-creating list and explanations here.
Frankly, I’m most intrigued by the vegetable suggestions like asparagus, radishes and truffles! Oh, and I absolutely adore caviar (despite the hefty price tag).
I have a few qualms about cappucino though because of the preponderance of caffeine and naturally, I also fret about chocolate, that is, the sugar-containing chocolate, because of its effects on blood sugar.
But, guess what? Yesterday, I found a chocolate that has NO SWEETENERS at all! They’re “Really-Raw Chocolate Beans” from EatRaw.com.
Granted the price tag on these organic, whole-peeled cacao beans from Mexico ain’t cheap, but the way I see it, this 8-ounce bag that I bought yesterday will last me for months! In fact, I’m chomping on one bean now!
