It’s difficult to get people motivated to eat their vegetables. While there are plenty of commercials that make beer, chocolate and fast food look pretty darn tempting, you’d be hard-pressed to find much of that happening with food that’s actually good for you. If the authors of Stay Young: Ten Proven Steps to Ultimate Health have anything to say about it, though, you may start to see celery in a whole new light, because it’s apparently what every guy looking for love should be keeping in their refrigerator.
According to the book’s co-authors, Dr. Judy Garman, Dr. Walter Garman and Dr. Mark Anderson, celery increases the levels of pheromone in a guy’s sweat. As noted in this article in MomLogic, celery contains androstenone, which is a naturally occurring steroid that amps up pheromone secretion, and that in turn makes a guy more appealing to women. They’re also calling celery “vegetable Viagra” because, as this Newser article reports (via Asylum), it also “ramps up sex drive and can intensify one’s climax.” Well, OK then.
So if you’re looking for an edge, guys, get thee to the produce section. Just remember to grab a toothbrush after eating, because if there’s another thing that celery is known for, it’s getting stuck in between teeth.
