Frog liver blended with asparagus whilst naked under a full moon is supposed to enhance your sexual prowess.

Blueberries and almonds are absolute super foods. Sweet potato and brown rice are far better even than wheat bread as a source of fiber and carbs. Rye bread, big in the Jewish community and available at most bagel shops, is very healthy and the best option for a sandwich. Egg whites, caesin and whey are the best proteins with the highest number of amino acids. Also, jalepenos are great for firing up the metabolism. If your body can manage the mexican variety, go for these, since they are tastier than the ones we predominantly get in Europe.

Oh, peneat butter helps raise testosterone levels and is great on its own before bed, especially after a day's working out. Also, keep fattier varieties of fish in the equation. God, this is making me hungry indeed.
