WASHINGTON — You know the old saying “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” Turns out what a guy eats affects other regions, too.

Selective eating may help a man fool his natural aging process and boost his sex drive.

According to Yahoo! Health:

• Watermelon improves blood flow to the heart and sex organs.
• Avocado improves a man’s energy and stamina.
• Celery raises the odorless hormone released through perspiration that sexually attracts women.
• Enzymes in bananas and pineapples help men get in the mood.
• Pumpkin seeds boost a man’s testosterone and can help sustain a woman’s sexual desire.
• Honey affects neurotransmitters tied to sexual arousal and testosterone production.
• Salmon boosts circulation.
• Figs amino acids increase libido and improve stamina.
