If you feel like your sexual potency is decreasing and your desires to be with your partner just aren’t the same anymore, don’t think that viagra is the only product that can help you. There is a root from mother nature that is capable of increasing your sex drive, and can also nourish you because it is a rich source of amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

We’re talking about maca, a root very similar to a tuber, that grows in the Peruvian Andes. It is popular, however, in several areas around the world, for its health benefits.

What does Maca contain?

Maca contains nutrients like vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, C and E, and minerals and trace minerals, like iron, calcium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and copper. In addition to containing fatty acids like omega 3, 6 and 9, it contains palmitic acid, linolenic acid and oleic acid. At the same time, maca contains phytosterols, alkaloids, like macaina 1, 2, 3, and 4, isocyanates, glucosinolates, flavonoids, saponins, macamides and alkamides.

Not only men

This food, which is very similar to radishes, is also consumed by women with the same results as those attained by men. Due to several studies, it has been proven to possess positive qualities for fertility and increase libido. It is even used to improve reproduction in cows.

How it works

According to natural medicine specialists, maca improves human fertility by increasing the number and mobility of sperm, semen volume and the amount of sperm per ejaculation. This effect is much greater when consuming black maca.

Other benefits for women

Maca helps regulate the creation of hormones, increases fertility, reduces premenstrual symptoms and menstrual pain. It also reduces menopause symptoms, like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, night sweats, incontinence, sleep problems, mood changes, memory loss and loss of muscle mass. The best part is that it rejuvenates skin and hair.

However…

Although we are pointing out maca’s powers in this article, as a sexual invigorator, keep in mind that this root also has beneficial properties for the body and can also be consumed by children. In Peru, it is prepared during breakfast, like oats, because it provides lots of energy, activates neurons, revitalizes brain functions and stimulates memory. It is therefore also fitting for elderly individuals.

Anti-carcinogen

Maca root contains Cellulose and lignin, which means it contains a lot of fiber. Thanks to studies, we have been able to prove that a large amount of fiber reduces the risk of cancer in the large intestine. Therefore, this food stimulates intestinal functions and helps eliminate food residue that no longer serves a purpose.

It is a Macronutrient

Maca root contains vitamins and minerals that are mentioned above, and act as dietary contributors for those who are ill with Tuberculosis, leukemia, anemia and for individuals recovering from surgery.

Calcium for children

This plant contains higher calcium concentrations than milk, and is indispensable in bone, tooth, and skeleton formation in children. It is useful for treating patients with fractures, rickets, osetoporosis and osteomalacia.

For the heart

Helps with blood coagulation, in heart functions and the formation and maturation of red blood cells. It improves nerve and blood functioning.

Anti-stress

Black macra possesses anti-stress and anti-depressant properties. It improves memory, concentration and learning more than any other type of maca. It increases performance, slows fatigue and promotes good moods.

How do I prepare it?

Fresh maca can be found in supermarkets and prepared like any other tuber: peel it and boil it. But you can also drink it in a smoothie for breakfast. Boil it, feel it, blend it, using a bit of the water that was boiling, and add milk. Add one clove and a bit of cinnamon, making it ready and tasty. You could also buy maca flour. When you prepare it, boil it with cinnamon and cloves, and lastly, slightly sweeten and add a touch of milk.
