Testosterone is a sex hormone, it is under its action that male organs and secondary sexual characteristics develop. This hormone provides energy and stamina, promotes muscle development, awakens sexual desire and creates an excellent mood.
Stimulating testosterone production
Testosterone is not found in food, but there are foods that reduce the production of this hormone in the body, and there are foods that have a beneficial effect on its level.
The increase in testosterone is primarily promoted by eggs, fish and meat, that is, foods in which there is a lot of complete animal protein, which is of great importance for hormonal status.
Beekeeping products such as bee pollen and royal jelly are anabolic when eaten. Honey contains a significant amount of boron, which reduces the level of female hormones and increases the production of male hormones. It should be noted that a small amount of the female hormone estrogen is present in a healthy male body, its level increases significantly with obesity, while testosterone levels significantly decrease.
A variety of greens contain plant analogues of testosterone. Parsley, celery, spinach, onions, arugula, mustard - all these herbs are needed for men's health.
Fresh and natural
A good natural wine has a very interesting property. It inhibits aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Vodka, cognac and other strong alcohol contribute to a sharp release of testosterone, but require very moderate use, since in excess quantities, on the contrary, they greatly reduce the level of this hormone.
Red, orange, yellow and green vegetables, berries and fruits are very beneficial for men. They contain luteins, which stimulate the rapid production of male hormones. First of all, this applies to lemon, melon, mango, pumpkin, cabbage, zucchini and persimmons.
Don't forget about grains and fiber. All kinds of rough cereals, for example, millet or pearl barley, must be included in the daily diet. After all, it is they that promote the activation of blood circulation in the pelvic area, and this stimulates the production of testosterone.
To get the most out of these foods, try to eat them fresh and as raw as possible. If there is a need for heat treatment, it should not take place at temperatures above seventy degrees, since with stronger heating, most vitamins and amino acids are destroyed. The exception to this rule is meat, as it needs to be cooked. Many fattening animals are fed with female hormones to help them gain weight faster. During cooking, a significant part of these hormones goes into the broth, so you should not drink it, but the meat after such processing will only be healthier.
