Fish is one of the great things for your heart and as the saying goes what is good for your heart is good for sex. We should add fish to our meals and have some sort of fish at least once a week. Salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. These are great to help elevate the dopamine levels in the brain which help trigger arousal. Studies further show that high levels of Omega-3 help a person be happier and more at ease, which in turn helps them with arousal and sex.

Apart from these benefits omega 3 lowers the symptoms of depression which is a major source of sexual health problems. It also helps with better brain function, heart arrhythmias, blood clots, better brain function, and protection against dementia.

Fish is also high in L-arginine, and as we wrote on the site before in fruits for sexual health, arginine stimulates the release of growth hormone and is turned into nitric oxide in the body. Which in turn is crucial when it comes to erections for men, it also helps women with their sexual function.

The best fish options:

Salmon is one of the best options that you can have when it comes to fish. Salmon has one of the highest omega-3 content and the lowest level of mercury.  Tuna of the canned variety is one of the easiest and cheapest forms of fish available but you should limit it to not more than 6 times a week as it has moderate levels of mercury in them.
