ASPARAGUS

It’s been said that asparagus stirs up lust in men and women.
This vegetable is a great source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin and folic acid. The latter is said to boost histamine production necessary for the ability to reach orgasm in both sexes. The shape of the asparagus spear can be somewhat suggestive as well.

ALMONDS

Long ago, the almond was regarded as fertility symbol.
It was even said that Samson wooed Delilah with these nuts.
Almonds provide vitamin E, magnesium and fiber and improve your general well being. The better you feel in your body, the better you perform in every area of your life.

AVOCADO

Avocados are voluptuous and feminine in shape and size. Back in the day, the Aztec’s thought that the fruit resembled the male testicles as it hung on trees in pairs. The avocado is a really healthy fruit filled with necessary good fat and quite helpful for enhancing hormones.

BANANAS

According to some myths, Adam (as in Adam and Eve) covered himself in banana leaves. Bananas are loaded with potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. Another great “naked” food that will help you build your healthiest, sexiest body with its nutritious value.

FIGS

Figs were Cleopatra’s favorite food and they are very sexy looking in appearance and texture. Cut one open and you ‘ll see why they are synonymous for sexual organs.

Here’s a simple recipe that is yummy delish, satisfying, body enhancing, weight loss promoting, and energy booster.

"Naked" Salad Dressing:

• 2 figs
• 1 banana
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp almond butter

Mix all ingredients until creamy in high powered blender (or vitamix). YUM.

For the base of your salad, simply chop some lettuce leaves in a bowl. Slice up your asparagus spears and your avocado onto the lettuce.

"Remember that if you eat processed, refined food, it will show up on your body. When you eat pure and “naked” foods like the ones listed above, the body of your dreams will show up and you may just fall in love with your "naked" self."
