Valentine’s Day is coming up. If you are planning to cook at home, let me recommend some ingredients to spice up your menu. They say that foods can have a sexually stimulating effect on people. Here are some key ingredients to help you “score.”

• Chile Peppers – their heat releases endorphins
• Ginger – said to increase sensitivity in erogenous zones
• Honey – boosts energy
• Mangos – said to increase the male libido
• Chocolate – boosts serotonin
• Almonds – the international symbol of fertility, almonds help sustain stamina
• Rosemary – with its aroma and flavor, it’s said that rosemary could easily be one of the most sensual foods
• Vanilla – said to arouse men and women

You may want to pick a few items from the list. A menu of all of these ingredients could send you into a sensory overload!
