Many people think of only male libido as being controlled by the hormone testosterone. Female libido, however, also depends on the production of this hormone. Testosterone production depends on your body receiving nutrients that are in many of the foods people commonly eat. By increasing how much you eat of the foods listed below, women can increase testosterone levels naturally.
Asparagus
Asparagus helps stimulate your testosterone production due to the fact that it is rich with vitamin E. TheFoodPaper.com states that asparagus is also an excellent source of potassium, fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, folic acid and vitamins A and C. Folic acid in particular increases female histamine production, which is necessary to help women achieve orgasm.
Avocados
Avocados have a high vitamin B6 level, which helps increase testosterone production. Avocados also contain potassium, which helps regulate the female thyroid gland and enhances female libido levels.
Bananas
Bananas contain a great deal of B-vitamins such as riboflavin and potassium, both of which produce testosterone.
