Depression and poor brain health could cause a drop in your libido. It would also affect the health of the brain apart from killing your sex drive.
Beans

This can make for a healthier colon. However, before these sugars can reach the colon, they reach the stomach, and the stools that float in the body as a result of the trapped gases can make you feel bloated and gassy. You would not be able to digest the beans and it will result in flatulence.
