It is soon to be the most romantic day of the year ‘14th Februrary’. Today, I have put together some suggestions to help you and your partner spoil each other for the perfect valentines day and you dont even need to leave your cosy abode.
Oysters the food of love
Lets bring out the greek goddess ‘Aphrodite’ for valentines day by serving a natural aphrodisiac such as oysters. Oysters have long been associated to their romantism, their aphrodisiac nature may be due to them being absolutely packed with zinc. Zinc is so important to support a healthy level of hormones such as progesterone and testosterone, both of which are beneficial for both of your fertility levels.
Face packs
A nice option would be to use something like avocado as a face pack the night before valentines. Avocado naturally contains vitamin E which does wonders for the skin and will leave you with a nice radiant healthy glow. Start adding vitamin E food sources such as avocados and brazil nuts to your daily diet. A healthy level of vitamin E in both men and women is related to a healthy fertility level, a reduced risk of miscarriages and healthy youthful skin.
Chocolate
Chocolate is always an appreciated gift on valentines, so treat both of you this valentines with some dark raw chocolate. The darker the chocolate, the more the flavonoids it contain to protect your cells from ageing. Not only does this help you to remain looking young but have you noticed how good it makes you feel, this is because eating chocolate encourages the release of your joy and bliss brain chemical; anandamide.
Panax Ginseng
This has long been used as a herb to support male fertility and supporting energy. Part of this may be due to its ability to enhance a persons well being, if you have noticed that your partner has been working really hard lately and seems a little withdrawn this may be a nice little gift to raise his spirits.
Massage oils
A massage is a beautiful way connect with your partner and let them know that you love them. What better gift to give a partner than something that heals them both emotionally and physically and enheightens your bond. Having a massage can reduce tension by encouraging the body to release the happy hormone serotonin, the relaxing hormone dopamine and the hugging hormone called oxytocin. Not only will this help you bond but the destressing effect of a massage can help regulate the stress hormone cortisol that could when raised lead to weight gain.
When choosing oils try going for essential oils such as almond and basil as the aromas are believed to boost your sense of wellbeing and encourage a healthy fertility level.
