Health Benefits:
• Tomatoes: Loaded with lycopene, a carotenoid that helps plants convert the sun's energy into nutrients, tomatoes have been shown to attack free radicals, reduce bodily inflammation, lower LDL cholesterol, improve immune function and increase blood flow.
• Spinach: Magnesium found in spinach dilates blood vessels, which helps enhance arousal for men and women. Spinach and other leafy greens are also excellent sources of folate, which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and improve cognitive function.
• Walnuts: Seeds and nuts are not only powerful sources of fiber and protein, but they also contain high levels of monounsaturated fats, which the body's sex hormones need to thrive. In addition, studies show that walnuts, in particular, can enhance sperm vitality and motility.
• Basil: High in antioxidants and antibacterial properties, basil and other members of the mint family are loaded with vitamin A and magnesium. Basil also contains vitamin K, which can help prevent cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
