Lovers' vegetables

Preparing for a date ¹ is exciting, stimulating, but at the same time it can be very stressful. Especially on a first date. What do I wear? How do I do my hair? What are we going to talk about? Am I late? One thing is certain, if you choose the contents of your plate carefully, mainly the vegetables, you could ensure a very nice end to the evening...

To give you a little inspiration, here is a list of 6 vegetables perfect for a memorable romantic evening.

Note: these vegetables are not listed in order of 'effectiveness'.

Before we dive into this list of vegetables, we need to understand one thing.

We must keep in mind that each person is different and each body manages the nutrients provided in a completely different way, according to its needs at that precise moment.

Generally speaking, foods, vegetables or others, called aphrodisiacs will have the capacity to trigger the secretion of endorphins ² in the body. It is these endorphins that have the ability to generate a feeling of well-being and intense excitement.
