GHTY.
WELCOME BACK TO "HOUSTON LIFE."
WE'VE ALL HEARD THAT CERTAIN
FOODS CAN MAKE US FEEL A LITTLE
FRISKY.
HERE WITH THE DETAILS BEHIND THE
DESIRE IS DR. MAYBERRY, KNOWN AS
THE TOX DOC.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> EVERYBODY KNO OYSTERS.
>> SO OYSTERS, FOR A LONG TIME
MYTH.
BUT THE SHAPE HAS THIS KIND OF
AROUSING, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR TO
AN ANATOMICAL SHAPE THAT TURNS A
LOT OF PEOPLE ON.
SO THEY WOULD EAT THE OYSTERS.
BUT SCIENTIFICALLY, WE WERE LIKE
IT'S DOIN NOTHING.
MY FIRST QUESTION WOULD HAVE
BEEN, IS THIS ALL FOR REAL?
>> OKAY.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
>> JUST THE SHAPE OF AN OYSTER
IS SUPPOSED TO GET SOMEONE IN
THE MOOD?
>> JUST BECAUSE OF THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL, IT REMINDS ME OF
SOMETHING.
BUT FIZZ LODGELY, THERE WAS
NOTHING REALLY HAPPENING.
RECENT RESEARCH HAS ACTUALLY
SHOWN THAT THE OYSTER REALLY
MIGHT ACTUALLY STIMULATE SOME
AROUSAL THAT IS A TRUE
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I'M GIVING YOU A HARD TIME.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT FIGS.
>> SO FIGS FOR YEARS, ESPECIALLY
IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, IF YOU LOOK
AT THE FIGS, IT'S GOT A LOT OF
SEEDS WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP.
IT HAS ALSO ANOTHER ANATOMICAL,
BEAUTIFUL SHAPE, ESPECIALLY WHEN
THEY'RE FRESH AND THEY'RE RIPE
AND THE SEEDS ARE MOIST.
>> OH!
>> YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW.
>> BUT THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU.
THEY'RE FULL OF VITAMINS.
SO I LOVE FIGS.
I RECOMMEND FIGS.
JUST NOT AS AN APHRODISIAC.
THEY'RE GREAT FOR YOU,
POWERHOUSE, FULL OF ANTIOXIDANTS
>> THEY'RE DELICIOUS.
THE STEM IS A LITTLE --
>> YOU ATE THE STEM?
>> IT WAS ON THERE.
>> WHAT ABOUT AVOCADO?
IN TEXAS, WE LOVE THEM.
>> WE LOVE OUR AVOCADOS.
BUTTER.
WE'RE GOING TO THE SHAPE AGAIN.
THAT BEAUTIFUL SHAPE THAT IS
>> HE'S NOT BUYING IT.
>> IT'S SO APPEALING TO SOME.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY DOES
NOTHING FOR YOU IN TERMS OF
SEXUAL AROUSAL.
BUT WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT AVOCADOS,
AGAIN, IT'S A POWERHOUSE.
EAT THEM.
IF YOU GET A PSYCHOLOGICAL
LITTLE BOOST OR HIGH FROM THE
AVOCADO, I SAY GO FOR IT.
BUT IT'S A MYTH.
>> IT IS A MYTH.
>> INTERESTING.
>> YOU WANT SOME CHILI POWDER?
>> YES.
FINISHES.
AROUSAL CHEMICAL.
IT MAKES YOU SWEAT.
>> OR IF YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE
STOMACH, IT MAKES YOU RUN TO THE
TOILET.
>> IT DEFINITELY CAN DO THAT.
AT THAT SO IT'S ABOUT THE DOSE.
SO JUST A LITTLE BIT CAN GO A
LONG WAY.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DOUSE IT ALL
OVER YOUR FOOD.
JUST A LITTLE CHILI PEPPER.
>> THAT'S TRUE?
>> THAT ONE ACTUALLY WORKS.
METABOLISM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL USE IT
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T
DOWN.
IT IS BENEFICIAL THAT WAY.
>> YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
I'M JUST A NATURAL SKEPTIC.
>> IT'S FINE.
ALSO THE COLOR OF CHILIS.
IT'S JUST BRIGHT AND IT POPS.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S PSYCHOLOGICAL.
NOT PHYSIOLOGICAL.
>> CHOCOLATE.
>> CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE,
CHOCOLATE.
NOW, FOR YEARS THEY SAID WOMEN,
WHEN WE EAT CHOCOLATE, IT
STIMULATES T SAME BRAIN CENTER
OF WHEN WE'RE GETTING AROUSED.
BUT UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY EATING
DARK, DARK CHOCOLATE, THIS KIND
OF STUFF, THIS IS A MYTH.
SO THE DARK CHOCOLATE NOW WE
FOUND THAT I DOES STIMULATE
ENDORPHIN PRODUCTION.
IT DOES HELP WITH AROUSAL.
>> SO FORGET THE MILK CHOCOLATE.
GO FOR THE DARK CHOCOLATE.
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, DOES THIS
CHOCOLATE?
>> IT DOES WORK FOR MEN AS WELL.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON --
>> YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE.
>> HERE IS THE THING ABOUT ALL
OF THE APHRODISIACS.
FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY WORK REALLY
WELL.
FOR SOME THEY DO NOT?
>> WHAT ABOUT HONEY?
>> IT'S STICKY, IT'S SWEET.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS YOU
CAN DO WITH HONEY.
>> THERE ARE, BUT IT REALLY
ISN'T DOING ANYTHING.
>> YOU ALL KNOW YOU'RE THINKING
IT, TOO.
COME ON!
>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> IT IS NATURE'S BEST SOURCE OF
SO IT'S NICE.
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
>> EAT YOUR FIGS.
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD,
THAT'S ALL GREAT.
>> OKAY.
MYTH.
MY THINGS.
I CAN'T BE STICKY.
WHEN I'M WITH MY NIECES AND
NEPHEW, IF THEY HAVE LIKE JELLY
OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> REALLY?
YOU KNOW.
AGAIN, OF THE BANANA.@█@█
>> THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY.
>> SO ASIDE FROM THE SHAPE OF
THE BANANA, IT ACTUALLY -- ARE
WE ALL BLUSHING RIGHT NOW.ñ
HORMONES.
>> WHAT?
>> THE BANANA ACTUALLY WORKS.
IT'S NOT A MYTH.
>> WAIT.
IF YOU EAT IT, IT STIMULATES?
YEAH.
EAT A BANANA WHEN YOU ARE WANT
TO GO GET INTO THE MOOD.
>> ARE YOU BLUSHING?
>> I'M NOT BLUSHING.
TIME.
>> MAYBE I AM.
CHOCOLATE AND BANANAS.
>> YOU CAN ALSO USE IT AS -- THE
BANANAS AS WAY TO DROP THE HINT.
LIKE HONEY, CAN YOU PICK UP SOME
BANANAS AT THE GROCERY STORE.@█
>> MOVING ON TO COFFEE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> COFFEE.
COFFEE DAY.
>> IT IS.
>> YEAH.
SO COFFEE --
>> IT SHOULD BE CALLED NATIONAL
SEX DAY.
>> COUGH GEE A GREAT PICK ME UP.
IT GIVES YOU A LOT OF ENERGY.
AS WELL.
SO COFFEE DEFINITELY --
>> WAIT, I'M GOING TO GUESS THIS
IS BETTER FOR MEN?
>> IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR BOTH
OF US, WAIT A MINUTE.
JUST BECAUSE OF THE CAFFEINE?
>> NO.
BUT THE CAFFEINE DOES GIVE YOU
UP.
BUT IN THE COFFEE BOON, THERE
ARE ANTIOXIDANTS THAT BOOST
PRODUCTION OF SEXUAL HORMONES.
>> THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE TO ME
BECAUSE GETTING IN THE MOOD,
WAKE UP.
>> STEP TWO, HAVE COFFEE.
>> WE GOT A COUPLE MORE THINGS.
>> WATERMELON AND THEN BANANAS
AS WELL.
THESE ARE CONSIDERED VIAGRA FOR
WOMEN.
NATURAL VIAGRA.
THERE IS LYCOPENE.
ARE YOU READY FOR WOMEN VIAGRA?
>> BOTH.
BUT MORE SO F WOMEN.
WE'RE ALL MMM.
I'M BLUSHING NOW.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I GET IN THE
MOOD FOR WHEN I EAT WATERMELO
EATING MORE WATERMELON.
>> IT'S SO GOOD FOR YOU AND ALSO
GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN.
SO ASIDE FROM --
>> WE LEARNED THAT LAST TIME.
>> YEAH.
>> PUMPKIN SEEDS, GREAT FOR
PROSTATE HEALTH.
THAT'S WHY FOR MEN.
BUT FOR WOMEN, THIS IS ALSO
CONSIDERED LIKE A FEMALE VIAGRA.
I ALWAYS USED TO TELL MY
HUSBAND, EAT THE PUMPKIN SEEDS,
THEY'RE GREAT FOR YOUR PROSTATE.
HE'D SAY FINE, FINE.
BUT I NEEDED TO EAT THEM.
>> OUR LAST THING TO GET US IN
THE MOOD?
>> READING THE BOOK, TALKING
TOXICOLOGY BECAUSE WE WANT TO
RECOGNIZE WHAT IS TOXIC IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND DO SOMETHING
EASY AND REALISTIC TO REDUCE IT.
