Almonds are one of the oldest symbols of fertility. They are rich in omega-3 fats needed for the production of testosterone, reproduction, fertility and a healthy libido. Almonds are also known for their powerfully attractive scent. They were recommended as a cure for weight loss, coughs and also to fight off viral infections. By eating approximately a serving, which consists of 23 almonds, you could possibly improve your overall health and sex life.
