Natural Stamina&Libido Boosting Recipe

I know, I know, the title of this video sounds super scammy, but stay with me for a second and I will explain to you why this recipe may (YMMV) will increase stamina and libido.

Sardines Testosterone Booster

I’ve been eating sardines for more than 1 year, every day.

Not only sardines are high in protein, they are also packed with omega-3, vitamins, and minerals. Ah, and I haven’t mentioned how cheap they are…

Where I live (The Netherlands), you can buy a can, containing 88g of sardines for just 53 euro cents!

100g of sardines will provide you with 25g of protein, 1.5g of omega3s (!!), 68% of your RDA of vitamin D3, and 9% of your RDA of zinc.

Why did I mention specifically omega3s, vitamin D3, and zinc?

Because higher intakes of these are correlated with high testosterone levels.

Do I have to tell you why having higher testosterone is good for you?

Besides that, omega3s are anabolic, which means that they promote by themselves increases in muscle mass and strength (you still have to train though).

Stamina Boosting Foods

But this dish doesn’t contain sardines only. We have a whole combo of manliness enhancing foods!

Beetroot

Enhances blood flow in your body. It can be for this reason be used as pre-workout to “increase the pump” or to increase endurance. Now, it has never been studied as a “sexual performance enhancer” but my guess is that if it enhances endurance exercise it will naturally enhance stamina too.

Garlic

Aka “natural viagra” aka “vegetable viagra”. Since I started eating 1-2 cloves daily (steaming or boiling removes bad breath giving compounds) I feel 14 years old again.

Ginger

It is not very well known as testosterone/libido enhancer yet it can increase sperm count and quality, testosterone, and ejaculate volume. Besides that, it’s truly a great “superfood” enhancing also your memory and lowering inflammation.

Then we have other components in this dish that are just straight good for your health and immunity. Because even if you have high libido and stamina, if you’re sick, there’s no use to that 🙂

Sauerkaut are a source of probiotics, fibers, and vitamin C (and lemon juice too). These will make you less susceptible to getting sick and there’s one study saying that vitamin C can lower the symptoms of depression, leading to more frequent intercourses (the study is funded by a pharma company so this last piece might be total bs).

That’s it! Simple, easy, high-protein, and also tastes great! Try this recipe for yourself and let me know how it goes!

Smoothie Recipe for Strength: Creamy Avocado Pre-Workout

I always wondered: why do people love avocados?

They taste like nothing to me (and this could very well be that the ones we get here in the Netherlands are probably the worst).

Sure, the usual olive oil, salt, and pepper thing. I heard about that already. But, but…where’s mah protein?!?

So, one day, I thought: “what if I put an avocado in my pre-workout smoothie?

Honestly, I was doing just for the calories, I wasn’t expecting much of it.

WARNING: the following recipe will make you want more and more and more and more of it.

As I opened the blender to scoop the whole thing out, I was bewildered to see the consistency, thickness, and texture of this smoothie.

Never would I have predicted what I was going to experience as tasting a spoonful of this recipe.

My mouth watered, my brain starting shouting “holy moly what’s happening here? are we having sex?!”.

Yes my friend, what I was having was not your average foodgasm. This was a real thing.

After that, none of my smoothies lacked this fundamental ingredient, the avocado.

I would strongly suggest you try it as well, next time you make yourself a smoothie and be ready to experience pleasure.

Here you have it, a smoothie recipe for strength!

Crunchy Mackerel with Sauteed Mushrooms in Lemon Juice Sauce

I love mackerel. But its smell doesn’t love my house so I rarely cooked it.

Until I stumbled upon this method to avoid it smelling the entire house when cooking it in a pan.

Simply put a bowl with white vinegar just next to the stove.

When I read it I thought of another mambo jumbo technique you can find plenty of on the internet. But, hey, white vinegar is super cheap so why not trying!

It worked!!

Because I was afraid that the smelly smoke would contaminate my softboxes diffusers, I didn’t film it, unfortunately. But I could take nice pics to put on the website as you can see.

Why is this recipe a good post-workout?

Mackerel contains high amounts of omega3s which have an anabolic effect. This means that they can stimulate directly muscle protein synthesis which becomes synergistic with your workout.

How does it taste like?

mackerel and champignons close upmackerel and champignons close upFatty fish cooked in a hot pan with olive oil is amazing because, when you sear it, the Maillard reaction takes place and the fish surface becomes super crunchy. Having the oil infused with garlic before searing the fish will infuse all that goodness into the fish.

Let me tell you what a match made in heaven is mackerel with olive oil, garlic, and lemon!

The parley then will completely remove the fishy taste creating a great balance with the lemon and all the other tastes.

I’m really proud of this simple yet succulent dish!
