Aphrodisiac tea, pig kidneys... Are the aphrodisiac recipes popular in movies and TV dramas reliable?

Among many foods, whips and kidneys are the most popular. After all, the concepts of "you are what you eat" and "like cures like" are deeply rooted, and it is believed that eating animal genitals can strengthen male virility and improve male sexual ability.

In fact, most of these are far-fetched and there is not enough scientific evidence to support them, so don’t expect them to really improve your sexual performance.

Animal Kidneys

Animal kidneys are high-cholesterol foods. For example, every 100g of pork kidneys contains as much as 354mg of cholesterol. If you eat too much, it may add burden to your kidneys.

Animal whip, cattle and sheep treasure

Foods such as animal whips and beef and mutton treasures may contain more male hormones than other organs, but the heating during cooking and digestion by gastric juice basically destroy these hormones, leaving nothing behind and having no effect.

Chinese chives

Leek has always been known as an aphrodisiac grass, and in traditional Chinese medicine it also has the effect of nourishing the kidney and warming the yang, but please note that this "yang" is not that "yang", and it does not refer to sexual function, and there is no ingredient in leek that can improve sexual function, so everyone really misunderstands leek.

Most of the foods that are believed to have aphrodisiac effects in traditional Chinese medicine are rich in the trace element zinc. Zinc plays a certain role in maintaining male sexual function. If men are severely zinc deficient, it can lead to infertility. Appropriate zinc supplementation can increase sperm count and motility.

Leeks do contain zinc, but the content is very small. Every 100g of leeks contains only about 0.43mg of zinc, while the same weight of oysters contains 71mg of zinc. Eating some may be helpful for healthy men, but it is naive to think that eating something can completely solve the problem.

In addition, the popularity of some aphrodisiac foods is closely related to people's rich imagination. For example, cylindrical creatures such as sea cucumbers and ivory clams are similar to genitals; eels and conger eels are good at digging holes, which easily makes people think of sexual intercourse between men and women, and are also attributed with aphrodisiac effects.

So, the real effect of the widely circulated aphrodisiac food is more of a "stronger" placebo effect. Under strong psychological suggestion, some men will indeed perform extraordinarily well.

It is precisely because of the little thoughts of some men that various types of aphrodisiac products are emerging in the market, such as health products, medicinal liquor, secret Chinese medicine recipes... But in fact, most of these products have no effect, and those that are effective may have drug ingredients mixed into the products.

Tadalafil is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction

At present, the state has 27 functions for health food, mainly enhancing immunity, losing weight, and assisting in lowering blood lipids, etc., and does not include functions such as tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, nourishing kidney yang, etc. Therefore, products that claim to have yang-strengthening effects are illegal.

Sildenafil is commonly known as "Viagra"

The presence of these drug ingredients may bring corresponding health risks. For example, nitroglycerin-type drugs are prescription drugs and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If people with heart disease, low blood pressure, etc. take them, they may experience symptoms such as headaches and indigestion. If taken together with nitroglycerin, it will lead to a cumulative drop in blood pressure, which is very dangerous.

In addition, some people say that I don’t buy the products sold on the market, I make my own medicinal wine, so there should be no problem, right?

This is not safe either! Making it yourself, without knowing the dosage of medicinal materials, and not understanding the compatibility and contraindications, also poses safety risks. For example, many places like to use the medicinal material Chuanwu to make wine, but Chuanwu contains a toxic substance called aconitine, which is dozens of times more toxic than arsenic. Taking 3 to 5 mg of pure aconitine can be fatal.

Furthermore, alcohol itself can easily lead to excessive congestion of the prostate. Long-term drinking will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but may even have the opposite effect.

While men are trying every possible way to improve their sexual performance, they ignore the real diseases in their bodies.

According to the data from the "White Paper on Internet Men's Health Diagnosis and Treatment in China", the number of men with sexual dysfunction in my country has reached 164 million, and 52% of men aged 40 to 70 suffer from sexual dysfunction to varying degrees, but the rate of seeking medical treatment is extremely low.

Male sexual dysfunction includes sexual desire disorder, erectile dysfunction, sexual intercourse disorder and ejaculation disorder. The diagnosis and treatment methods for different diseases are also different. It is still necessary to go to the andrology department of a regular hospital for targeted treatment.

At the same time, don't be shy about seeking treatment, and don't hope to make yourself stronger through diet therapy, folk remedies, etc. If it doesn't work, it may lead to anxiety, depression, and tension, which will aggravate the condition.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that you should never be fooled by the wild advertisements on roadside telephone poles and enter informal medical institutions. There is a high possibility that your wallet will be emptied and the disease will not be cured!
