12 Foods that ACTUALLY Boost Testosterone

the food you eat can either boost or lower your testosterone levels in fact research shows that a high consumption of bread pastries dairy products and desserts in combination with a low intake of homemade foods and dark green vegetables can on its own predict low testosterone levels with relatively high accuracy this is important because having a higher testosterone level will help increase muscle mass and strength it'll help enhance your mood and it'll improve your libido meanwhile low testosterone can lead to a loss of muscle mass a higher accum ulation of body fat low sex drive and

depression so today I want to give you guys 12 foods that can actually naturally help boost your testosterone levels when incorporated into an overall healthy diet full of other natural unprocessed single ingredient foods and the first food that can offer a powerful boost especially if you're deficient in the nutrients it contains is oysters specifically oysters are very high in zinc which is an essential mineral for testosterone production people who engage in intense physical activity and sweat profusely are are at an increased risk of becoming deficient in zinc When you sweat heavily you're not only losing

fluids but you're also losing essential electrolytes including zinc over time the loss of zinc through sweat especially for people that take part in Endurance Sports or they undergo intense training sessions or they have a physically demanding job or they just have a higher sweat rate than average all of these scenarios can lead to a zinc deficiency this deficiency can have adverse effects on your performance your recovery your immune function and of course it can take a toll on your testosterone levels so if you find yourself sweating a lot eating oysters or getting a zinc supplement

can really help oysters also contain vitamin D which plays a role in testosterone production as well as amino acids that can help stimulate hormone releasing signals within the body the only downside is that oysters can be a little bit of a pain to cook and can make your house stink so another option is to get canned oysters which will still provide you with very comparable amounts of nutrients like zinc another food that can help support testosterone levels and overall hormonal health is garlic even though garlic can definitely make your breath smell it has many benefits

for example one benefit is that garlic has been linked to improved endothelial function endothelial function essentially is describing the health of your blood vessels having healthy blood vessels is essential for proper blood flow and better blood flow is beneficial for testosterone production as well as overall Sexual Health another benefit is that garlic provides many antioxidants that can help protect cells that are involved in hormone production from oxidative damage garlic also contains compound like allisin which can help lower cortisol levels reducing stress related interference with testosterone on top of that garlic has many anti-inflammatory properties that

can help lead to a healthier hormonal environment by reducing chronic inflammation so having one to three cloves of raw garlic a day could be beneficial for overall health and testosterone or alternatively you can take a garlic supplement many of which help you get around the bad odor that comes with eating regular garlic next is pomegranate one way that pomegranates are able to boost testosterone is by stimulating nitric oxide production and enhancing blood flow which can positively affect sexual function and contribute to healthier testosterone levels pomegranates are also packed full of polyphenols and flavonoids which can

combat oxidative stress potentially protecting the leic cells which are the primary source of testosterone or androgens in males having healthy leic cells in turn helps promote healthy natural testosterone production aside from the direct testosterone boosting effects pomegranates may also have anti-estrogenic effects indirectly supporting higher testosterone levels by inhibiting estrogen activity the nice thing is if you don't feel like breaking down whole pomegranates most supermarkets now sell Frozen pomegranate seeds which are just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts next we have ginger ginger contains bioactive compounds such as gingerol which has potent anti-inflammatory Properties by reducing

inflammation Ginger can help promote a more favorable hormonal environment for testosterone production research in animals has shown that Ginger extract can stimulate the release of lutenizing hormone which is a hormone that's produced by the pituitary gland and it signals the testes to produce more testosterone unfortunately human studies are limited but this effect on lutenizing hormones suggests a potential direct impact on testosterone production ginger has also been associated with improved sperm quality and motility which isn't a direct boost to testosterone but it's beneficial for overall male reproductive Health another excellent food for testosterone levels is fatty

fish like salmon mackerel and sardines these fish contribute to increased testosterone levels due to their nutritional content they contain omega-3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory properties and play an important role in hormone regulation Omega-3s can also help reduce chronic inflammation which on its own can potentially improve hormonal balance within your body on top of that fatty fish provide the often demonized yet essential compound known as as cholesterol cholesterol is a precursor for testosterone production and aside from cholesterol and omega-3 fatty fish also provide some vitamin D which like I mentioned is important for testosterone specifically

it's crucial for normal functioning testes which is directly where testosterone is produced you should also include other foods that are full of healthy fats in your diet examples include grass-fed beef avocados olive oil and coconut oil fats like these Aid in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins like vitamin D for example just like salmon these foods provide dietary cholesterol as well and that cholesterol acts as the building blocks for testosterone production these fats also help regulate hormone signaling within the body and they help maintain cell membrane Integrity which is where hormone receptors including those for

testosterone are located another food that has some research showing beneficial effects on testosterone is onion most studies that show results involve raw onion or onion extract and they also involve either animals or people that have a severe testosterone or sperm quality deficiency however the limited research does show that compounds and onions may help regulate estrogen metabolism potentially affecting the estrogen to testosterone ratio while testosterone is the primary male sex hormone it's influenced by the balance of other hormones including estrogen in many cases higher levels of estrogen in the body for example from carrying around ex's

body fat will lower testosterone levels another benefit of raw onions is that they contain a compound known as cortin which is a flavonoid that's well known for its antioxidant properties some Studies have shown that cortin reduces inflammation which benefits testosterone onions also contain the compound allisin which just like garlic the Allison found in onions has the ability to improve circulation and cardiovascular health which can indirectly support overall hormonal function moving on we have beets or beetroot which can impact cardiovascular and hormonal Health in several ways first they support hormonal Health through their nitrate content similar

to pomegranates nitrat foods like beets can enhance the production of nitric oxide in the body that nitric oxide then helps to relax and widen those blood vessels promoting improved blood flow this improved circulation can benefit testosterone levels by ensuring better blood flow to the areas responsible for that testosterone production and the improved blood flow can also benefit overall sexual performance some studies show that another benefit is that beets contain Boron which is a mineral that can influence testosterone levels by playing a role in the metabolism of steroid hormones for example by inhibiting the activity of

sex hormone binding globulin it can help increase the availability of free testosterone within the body next we have leafy greens like spinach kale and collared greens which can also support a healthier hormonal profile and influence testosterone levels in multiple ways first they're full of magnesium and magnesium is a mineral That's essential for testosterone production along with General hormone regul ation second just like fatty fish their anti-inflammatory properties help reduce chronic inflammation and chronic inflammation can definitely disrupt hormonal balance some leafy greens like kale also contain compounds that can help regulate estrogen levels indirectly promoting a

more favorable testosterone to estrogen ratio the folate found in leafy green vegetables also support overall cellular function including your hormone producing cells another benefit of some leafy greens like spinach is that they contain high levels of nitrate which again can help improve circulation one last benefit of eating your greens is the role these vegetables will play in reducing excess body fat body fat actually produces even more estrogen which can lower testosterone levels another food to include in your diet is eggs eggs contain essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D vitamin B5 vitamin B6 as

well as saturated fats which are involved in testosterone production eggs are also a good source of choline which is a nutrient that's important for brain health and that might indirectly support hormonal balance by positively influencing brain function on top of that whole eggs provide one of the highest quality protein sources available adequate protein consumption ensures that the body has sufficient amino acids to support hormone synthesis and many other bodily processes now one of the best things you can do for your testosterone level is eat more fruit in place of processed sugar this is because a

high sugar intake can lead to insulin resistance weight gain and obesity all of which are linked to reduced testosterone it can also promote inflammation in the body disrupt hormonal feedback mechanisms negatively impact testicular ladic cell function and negatively influence the gut microbiome so any fruit will be better than simple processed sugars that you find in candy cake cookies ice cream and so on but some of the best are berries one reason why berries are great is because they're very high in antioxidant content especially vitamin C vitamin E flavonoids and polyphenols these can all help reduce

inflammation and oxidative damage Dage like some of the other foods that I've already mentioned on top of that berries are effective at managing blood sugar levels due to their low glycemic index and fiber content high blood sugar and insulin resistance are known to negatively impact testosterone levels the ability of berries to help stabilize blood sugar levels can indirectly support testosterone production by preventing insulin related hormonal disruptions berries are also a smart choice for burning fat and losing weight since they're low in calories yet filling due to their high fiber content if eating berries can help

you burn fat it can also prevent the adverse effects of excess body fat on those testosterone levels last but not least we have cocoa based products such as cocoa powder which also holds promise when it comes to supporting testosterone levels they contain magnesium as well as flavonoid antioxidants just like onions cocoa contains cortin as well as another flavonoid known as appenine which might have the potential to stimulate testosterone production through the leic cells these flavonoids appear to support ladic cells by enhancing their efficiency in generating testosterone however keep in mind when you're selecting cocoa products

it's important to go for those with minimal or no added sugar cocoa powder cocoa nibs or low sugar dark chocolate are all excellent option not just for their potential testosterone benefits but also for the large amount of other nutrients and antioxidants that they provide for your body so those are 12 awesome testosterone boosting foods but before you go to the grocery store keep in mind that to get higher testosterone levels it's very important that you're doing other things right as well for example if you just add a couple servings of pomegranates salmon and onions to

your diet but you're still mostly eating processed foods like Lunchables Oreos and microwavable meals your testosterone levels are probably not going to improve at all in fact they might get worse the key is to switch out unhealthy processed high sugar foods for the healthy ones that I've recommended in this video and to take other actions associated with improving your testosterone levels as well such as lifting weights and exercising in general also getting enough sleep is crucial for maintaining high testosterone levels along with limiting alcohol intake to small amounts in moderation only I have another video
