| Question: | Are oysters really an aphrodisiac? |
| Answer: | One oyster contains about 15mg of zinc - so you' re certainly charging yourself up by eating half a dozen for dinner. Why? The mineral zinc is crucial for healthy sperm and for the healthy growth of a baby. Not only is zinc vital for male fertility, it is vital for women' s too. Research has found that men low in zinc were found to be low in testosterone, have a low sex drive and a low sperm count. So, given that the average man only takes in 7.6mg of zinc a day from his diet, a plate of oysters on the half shell is probably a very good idea on a romantic evening. |
