TOP 10 T-BOOSTING FOODS.

Healthy testosterone levels are crucial for general health, disease risk, body composition, sexual function and just about everything else. There are many testosterone boosting foods out there, but the we thought we'd bring you a list of the most beneficial ones.

Asparagus

When it comes to foods that increase testosterone levels, asparagus is up there with the big boys. This somewhat phalic vegetable is a known aphrodisiac and contains several testosterone boosting nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin E, and potassium.

Raw Chocolate

Chocolate is one of the most loved and well known aphrodisiacs and the good news is that it contains several testosterone-boosting supplements such as manganese, zinc, calcium, magnesium tryptophan, arginine, and catechins. We don't mean chocolate of the supermarket variety however! These are loaded with sugar and contain low amounts of cacao.

Pineapple

The pineapple has been a popular fruit since the 1940s and it’s now known for its ability to help increase testosterone production. This fruit contains an enzyme called Bromelain, which directly boosts testosterone levels.

Oysters

Widely recognised as an aphrodisiac has made oysters one of the most commonly served dished on date night. What most people don’t know is that oysters are also one of the best natural testosterone enhancer. This is because they are packed with zinc, a mineral known for its powerful ability to increase testosterone in the body. Lack of zinc can result in a drastic drop of testosterone in young and healthy men, showing the importance of at least trying to eat more oysters regardless of your age. What’s more, oysters also have other nutrients such as calcium, potassium, selenium, and iodine that are essential for the production of testosterone.

Spinach

This leafy green vegetable is anti-oestrogenic in nature and it’s loaded with minerals and vitamins that increase testosterone. Anti estrogenic foods help to lower estrogen levels, the female sex hormone in the body. Men with high estrogen levels can form feminine features such as male breasts, also known as gynecomastia. High in vitamin C and E and the mineral magnesium, Spinach is one of the best t-boosting foods you can eat to improve your overall health. For example. magnesium works by improving the body’s antioxidant capacity and decreasing inflammation, and these in turn result in a healthy release of testosterone. Vitamins C and E are also known to stimulate a boost in testosterone levels while lowering oestrogen. Spinach is also low in calories and as one of the symptoms of low T is weight gain, this super food can help you cut fat.

Salt

We aren't talking about regular table Salt, but the high-quality unprocessed sea salt, otherwise known as Himalayan crystal salt. Although technically not a food, unprocessed salt still makes it to this list because it contains over 50 essential minerals; a great number of which are excellent testosterone boosters.

Hot Sauce

As crazy as it sounds, hot sauce is actually a testosterone boosting food! This is due to the fiery compound, capsaicin found in chili peppers, which has been linked to increased testosterone levels in several conducted studies. A study conducted in France showed that men who have a strong liking for hot spicy foods have higher testosterone levels as compared to men who do not like consuming spicy food. The study also found that men who add hot chilli sauce to their food tend to have have higher T-levels.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable. It contains indoles which are anti-cancer compounds that stimulate the production of the male growth hormone by ridding the body of excess oestrogen – known to inhibit the production – of the male T-hormone. Since the leading cause of a drop in testosterone level for older men is an increase in oestrogen, eating a significant amount of broccoli can help restore the ideal balance of less oestrogen production and more testosterone. Other cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and kales also make great options.

Salmon

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for low testosterone levels. It regulates over 1000 functions in the body including the health of the male reproductive system. According to research, men who supplement with vitamin D will experience an increased level of testosterone. And since salmon contains the highest level of vitamin D, it’s crucial that you add salmon into your regular diet.

Salmon also makes it to the list of the best testosterone increasing foods as it contains Omega 3 fatty acids and protein, both of which help in the production of testosterone.

Garlic

There are so many herbs that can boost T levels, but garlic tops the list. It contains allicin and quercitin, both of which inhibit the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, which can slow down or completely stop reproductive function when produced in excess. Garlic also contains diallyl disulfide, a chemical that stimulates the body into releasing the luteinizing hormone that is responsible for the production of the test hormone.

It goes without saying that vitamins and minerals are very powerful natural boosters of testosterone levels. If you are reading this post and thinking 'well that;'s all very well and good, but I dislike salmon and can't stand garlic and don't have time have time to plan a nutritional regime' then don't panic.
