Dr. Yang Ziqi

Stimulating foods usually refer to those that help improve male sexual function or enhance libido. The following are some common libido-enhancing ingredients:

1. Chinese chives: Rich in trace elements and dietary fiber, Chinese chives are believed in traditional Chinese medicine to have the effect of warming the kidneys and enhancing yang energy.

2. Walnuts: High in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, and zinc, these nutrients are beneficial for men's reproductive health.

3. Seafood: Such as oysters, shrimp, and fish, which are rich in zinc and may help improve sperm quality and male hormone levels.

4. Chocolate: Contains tyramine, which can promote blood circulation and increase libido.

5. Garlic: Contains sulfide compounds that may help improve blood circulation and offer potential benefits for sexual function.

6. Beef: Provides high-quality protein and iron, which help maintain energy levels and muscle health.
