A list of healthy foods that boost testosterone in men.
Testosterone is one of the main hormones needed
by male body.
It is used for sperm production, building muscle, strengthening bones, storing fat and
producing red blood cells.
At age 18, testosterone is at its highest, however this goes down with age especially
after 30.
Men who have low testosterone levels may suffer with erectile dysfunction, prostate enlargement,
muscle loss, loose skin, low libido, higher voice, breast tissue and loss of collagen.
In todays' video we will share with you a
list of healthy foods that boost testosterone in men.
These will also increase your energy levels,
making you feel great on a daily basis.
1. Eggs Eggs contain all the building blocks of life
and are a great source of vitamins and minerals. The yellow yolks are rich in healthy cholesterol,
which is used as a raw material to make hormones like testosterone. Eating these regularly
also helps to build muscle, strength and libido.
2. Salmon Men who feel stressed often have high levels
of cortisol, the stress hormone. This hormone blocks the production of testosterone in the
body, so we must find ways to calm the body and lower stress. Salmon is a great source
of Vitamin D which boosts testosterone and lowers cortisol.
3. Crab Meat
Many men have too much aromatase in the body, an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen.
Alaskan crab meat is a wonderful source of zinc which inhibits this conversion, and keeps
testosterone levels high. It also improves the health of the testicles.
4. Stinging Nettle Root
You can purchase this as a herbal tea or in capsule form. It is well known for supporting
hormone balance in both men and women. It contains compounds that bind to SHBG (sex
hormone binding globulin) leading to higher levels of testosterone in men.
5. Spring Water
Tap water is polluted with estradiol, a potent form of estrogen. Drinking this causes an
imbalance in the body and lowers testosterone levels. Switch to drinking bottled spring
water from a volcanic source. Trace minerals from this help to build testosterone and other
hormones.
6. Kale The body absorbs many dangerous toxins from
the environment, like pesticides, heavy metals and pollutants. These are called endocrine
disrupters which puts the hormones out of balance, and are very dangerous for your health.
Organic Kale helps to detoxify these chemicals from your liver, therefore helping to increase
testosterone.
7. Bone Broth Bone broth has numerous health benefits for
men, especially when it comes to balancing hormones, building muscle tone, and boosting
testosterone. It is rich in collagen and also saturated fat which is used to build the testosterone
hormone.
8. Broccoli Eat some lightly steamed broccoli to get more
sulforaphane into you diet. This detoxifies harmful chemicals from the liver, which can
prevent an overproduction of estrogen. Cruciferous vegetables prevent hormone imbalance by cleansing
the internal organs.
9. Avocado One of the nature's most healing superfoods,
avocados help to cleanse the liver. The liver plays an important role in balancing hormones
and testosterone. Avocados are rich in healthy fats for supplying energy to the body and
can reduce levels of unwanted estrogen in men.
10. Sauerkraut
Studies show that having more friendly bacteria in the gut can boost testosterone levels and
prevent the testicles from shrinking. Fermented foods like sauerkraut supplies these friendly
bacteria, also known as probiotics.
11. Himalayan Salt Regular table salt can be very unhealthy for
the human body. Switch to Himalayan Sea Salt, and consume with food every single day. This
salt is bound to 84 essential minerals which are used in the production of hormones and
a healthy overall body.
12. Cabbage Cabbage and other leafy greens help to get
rid of bad estrogen in the body. If estrogen is too high then it lowers testosterone in
men, so we must keep this in check. All forms of cabbage can help in balancing these important
hormones.
13. Brussels Sprouts These are another excellent vegetable which
are rich in certain phytonutrients. These nutrients block an overproduction of estrogen
in the body. This is perfect when you are trying to boost testosterone levels.
14. Shiitake Mushrooms
Eating a mixture of healthy mushrooms prevents the body from making too much aromatase, an
enzyme which causes low testosterone levels. If you have a lot of belly fat or high estrogen,
then these are some of the best foods to eat in salads.
15. Beef Liver
This organ meat is a wonderful source of Vitamin D which increases testosterone production.
If you do not like the taste, we recommend having this minced and mixed with regular
beef mince to disguise the flavour.
16. Oysters Last but not least, oysters are another wonderful
source of Zinc. These help to block the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, and ensure that
your levels stay high at all times.
As you can see there are many foods that you
can eat that boost testosterone in men.
Try eating a mixture of these foods regularly and cut back on processed junk foods which
are high in sugar.
Sugary foods can actually lower your testosterone levels because it triggers an overproduction
of insulin.
We also recommend cutting alcohol out of the diet, as this spikes cortisol and causes a
fatty liver. This is the leading cause of low testosterone in the male body.
Dead lifts and High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT) are the best forms of exercise for raising testosterone in the body.
Getting a healthy amount of sleep each day
is also important for boosting growth hormone and testosterone.
Growth hormone is known as the anti-aging
hormone and works hand in hand with testosterone for a healthy male body.
Studies show that intermittent fasting on
a daily basis can increase testosterone by up to 180%. Stop eating snacks between meals
and load up on healthy cruciferous vegetables, healthy fats an d protein sources.
