Turns Out Eating This Popular Protein Can Enhance Your Sex Life – Health Digest

If you’re looking to get in some omega-3s, you can’t do much better than salmon. These healthy fats support the health of our cells, organs, as well as our cognitive functioning (via WebMD). Omega-3 fatty acids also boost dopamine release, the same action that occurs during orgasm. This makes sense when you consider that dopamine is often referred to as the “feel-good” hormone. “[Dopamine] also elevates mood, and more relaxed people are in the mood for sex more often,” sex expert Psalm Isadora told Harper’s Bazaar.

Aside from helping us get into the mood, Isadora further explains that the omega-3s in salmon and other fatty fish may also help with symptoms of erectile dysfunction. “Fatty fish also contains L-arginine, an amino acid used to treat problems with erections. Think of it like a natural Viagra,” Isadora stated. According to a 2001 study published in BJU International, approximately 322 million men across the globe are estimated to be affected by erectile dysfunction in 2025.
