Did you miss Dr. Perricone in a Valentine’s Day segment, “Improving Your Sex Life with Food” on ABC New York News on February 13th?

What foods make the list?

• Oysters – aphrodisiacs because they have zinc, necessary for synthesis of testosterone
• Pumpkin seeds – especially potent for women
• Peanuts – rich with amino acid which relaxes blood vessels, helping men be a little more responsive
• Garlic – contains allicin, which increases blood flood, important in sexual response
• Avocados – rich in folic acid, helps improve your mood
• Blueberries – also helps improve your mood, increasing your dopamine levels
• Wild Alaskan salmon – whose omega3s are mood enhancers
