What Foods Can Increase Testosterone Levels?
The media will try to convince you that the only way to increase testosterone levels is to subject yourself to testosterone replacement therapy. Yet men in the know realize there are other safer, natural ways to bring those T numbers up, including a number of lifestyle choices. Did you know that some foods can increase testosterone levels? Here are nine you may want to add to your menu or eat more of whenever possible.
Beets can work like the ED drugs
The contribution of this ruby root veggie to testosterone production is its high level of boron. Men need this mineral for testosterone production and especially for boosting levels of free testosterone. In a study of healthy men, investigators found that ingesting 10 mg boron daily for six days resulted in an increase in free testosterone, a decline in estradiol, and a drop in the concentrations of three biomarkers for inflammation. Beets and the popular ED drugs also work in a similar way. Both increase nitric oxide levels in your blood, and that dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis for longer, harder erections. Beets are also available in supplements that can help boost testosterone.
Garlic can lower cortisol
The allicin in garlic is the compound credited with lowering levels of cortisol, a hormone that competes with testosterone for the same locations within your muscles. Once you reduce your cortisol levels, testosterone can do its job. Be sure to enjoy at least some of your garlic uncooked because it is more potent that way.
