Just as some foods strengthen your sex drive, ultra-processed junk food and fibre-rich foods are mood killers.
Christiana said: “Processed food typically contains high amounts of added sugars and saturated fat.
“This can contribute to inflammation and decrease blood flow, which could lead to erectile dysfunction.
“Fibre-rich foods, including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, are great for overall health, but, if you are not used to a high fibre diet, excessive intake can lead to extra gas and bloating – not a recipe for romance!”

However, a varied and balanced diet in line with your energy requirement is key for overall health and your sex drive.
