Foods That Boost Testosterone

[MrzDiva]

TweetIt is possible for men and women to improve their testosterone levels by monitoring their diet and nutrition. The hormone testosterone is primarily considered a male hormone, but women need certain levels for good health as well. Men's secondary sex characteristics are enhanced by testosterone and the hormone helps men achieve a muscular build. For both men and women, testosterone improves sexual desire and function, and even helps prevent osteoporosis. Eating the right foods can have a great effect on your overall wellbeing.

Fish and Seafood

Many people say that oysters are an aphrodisiac, but few people realize just how much they can enhance testosterone. Zinc is important in testosterone production, and half a dozen oysters give you seven times the usual daily dose of this mineral. Protein also helps your body make testosterone, and any kind of fish has plenty of good, lean protein. The Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and other oily fish are also helpful in creating better levels of testosterone.

Lean Meats

This is one case where lean red meats are not a crime in diet and nutrition. In fact, they can deliver a good dose of zinc. They are also rich sources of protein. Even the cholesterol in red meats can be put to good use in the production of testosterone. The most important thing to remember is that you do not need a 24-ounce steak once a day to get these benefits. A moderate amount of lean red meat several times a week will help tremendously.

Eggs

Everyone knows by now that eggs have cholesterol. Since cholesterol is used by the body to manufacture testosterone, it stands to reason that eggs would be beneficial to someone with low levels of the hormone. Modern eggs do not have as much cholesterol as the ones years ago; and that is a good thing, because too much cholesterol is bad for anyone. Eggs are also a rich and complete source of protein.

Cruciferous Vegetables

Many vegetables will help boost testosterone levels. Cruciferous vegetables are the best. These include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, turnips, kale and collard greens. They contain fiber which helps cleanse the body for better function all around. On top of that, broccoli and cabbage have the ability to lower estrogen, which paves the way for higher testosterone levels. Garlic contains a component called allicin, which naturally increases testosterone.

Beans

Beans are good for raising testosterone levels for many reasons. For one thing, they are a good source of protein for a meatless meal. They provide fiber for overall good health. Beans are also very high in the mineral zinc. Beans are unlikely candidates for improving sexual functioning or preventing osteoporosis, but the truth is that eating them can help in those areas.

You may not believe that eating the right foods will make you a better person, but if you are unhappy about your testosterone levels, eating to improve them could make all the difference. Happiness is a condition of the mind, but it is also aided by the health of the body. You can definitely improve your testosterone levels and your overall health by paying attention to your diet and nutrition.
