Chapter 1 All You Need To Know About
Testosterone Diet
Testosterone is a male sex hormone that has function beside sex
drive. The hormone is also important for hair growth, sperm
production, bone and muscle health. As you age, your body starts to
lose testosterone. Also, chronic illnesses can lower testosterone in
your body. Low testosterone or low T, is medically known as
Hypogonadism. Following a testosterone-rich diet can naturally
boost testosterone in your body.
Here are some dietary guidelines that can naturally increase
testosterone:
Vitamin D: Vitamin D helps the production of testosterone
in your body. Daily midday sun exposure for 20 minutes
can give your body enough vitamin D. Vitamin D also
blocks the process known as aromatization, which changes
testosterone to estrogen in the male body. Besides
testosterone increase, vitamin D will make you happier and
productive. Natural sources of vitamin D include a variety
of foods, including broccoli, peppers, sweet potatoes,
squash, mushrooms, carrots, beef, salmon, tuna, egg,
cheese, apricots, peaches, melon, papaya, mangoes, etc.
Take enough Zinc: Taking enough zinc through diet can
ensure an optimum level of testosterone in the body. A
number of studies have shown that young adults who get
enough zinc via diet, have a healthy level of testosterone in
their body. Lack of zinc will increase feminine estrogen
receptors in the man’s body and decrease androgen
receptors. This will lead to low testosterone level in the
body. Low zinc levels for a long period of time can cause
infertility. First, test your blood to know the zinc level in
your body and start to eat foods rich in zinc such as
unrefined grains, grass-fed beef, scallops, oysters, nuts and
pumpkin seeds.
Magnesium: Magnesium lowers inflammation in your
body and increases the antioxidant absorbing capacity of
the body. This leads to increase levels of testosterone in the
male body. Add enough magnesium-rich foods in your diet
to avoid hormone imbalance and lose excess fat. Also,
magnesium and vitamin D complement each other to solve
the low testosterone issue. Magnesium rich foods include
dark leafy greens, nuts and seeds, beans and lentils,
mackerel, tuna, brown rice, avocados, bananas, dried fruit,
cocoa powder, etc.
Eat healthy fats: According to a study report published in
the Journal of Applied Physiology, you have to eat plenty of
monounsaturated fats and saturated fats to increase your
testosterone levels and the consumption of
polyunsaturated fats should be kept low.
The following is a data chart from the above study, which is
showing clearly that diets high in monounsaturated fat and
saturated fat significantly increase testosterone levels, whereas
the diets high in polyunsaturated fats reduce testosterone
levels.

Data chart from physiology.org


Another study shows that polyunsaturated fats don’t boost
testosterone levels. Other research on various diets show that
diet with less than 40% of energy from saturated fats lead to a
reduction in testosterone levels. Remember your body needs
saturated fats from vegetable and animal sources (such as
coconut, dairy, and meat) for optimal functioning. The
following are examples of fats that you need. The
polyunsaturated fats are examples for you to stay away from if
you want to optimize testosterone.
Saturated fatty acids (SFAs): Red meat, egg yolks,
whole milk, cheese, butter, coconut oil, palm oil, dark
chocolate, etc.
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs): Macadamia
nut oil, hazelnut oil, almond oil, avocado oil, peanut
butter, olive oil, etc.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): Flaxseed oil,
safflower oil, soybean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil,
walnut oil, margarine, light spreads, omega fatty
acids (3,6,7.9), etc.
Eating Carbohydrates: Eating the right type of
carbohydrate is essential for testosterone, and they are not
unhealthy for you. According to these studies: Study 1 ,
Study 2, and Study 3 , eating the right type of
carbohydrates can increase testosterone. There is a
difference between carbs. You should eat more from the
group A and less from the group B.
A. Starchy veggies and tubers: squash, turnips, carrots,
beets, potatoes, yam, pumpkins, etc.
B. Grains: bread, corn, pasta, cereals, rice, wheat, etc.
Most grains contain gluten, and gluten is known for its
prolactin-increasing effect in the body. Studies show that
prolactin lowers testosterone levels. Furthermore, refined
grains cause systemic inflammation in the body. Inflammation
increases cortisol, which lowers testosterone.
Cruciferous Vegetables: Eating cruciferous vegetables daily
blocks estrogen production in the male body and increases
testosterone levels. Cruciferous vegetables include Brussels
sprouts, broccoli, bok choy, cabbage, collard greens,
cauliflower, kale, turnips, rutabagas, etc.

Here are some foods that naturally boost testosterone levels in your
body:
Free-range eggs: Start your day with eggs. Research shows
that men who eat eggs daily have a higher level of
testosterone than the men who eat eggs occasionally.
Studies show that regularly consuming egg can boost
testosterone levels up to 20%.
Free-range chicken: Commercially farmed poultry contains
unwanted hormones, antibiotics and a trace amount of
pesticides. This is risky, particularly if you are already
suffering from hormone imbalance issue such as low
testosterone. Even a small amount of excess hormone can
have a big impact on your body.
Grass-fed beef: Grass-fed beef meat contains a high
amount of vitamins, healthy fat such as omega -3,
glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, zinc, iron,
sodium, and potassium. All these nutrients, minerals, and
vitamins boost testosterone levels.
Wheat bran: Fiber-rich wheat bran is a great source of
magnesium. As mentioned before, magnesium increase
testosterone levels.
Wild-caught Tuna and Salmon: Tuna is high in vitamin D
and help to boost testosterone in the body. Tuna and
salmon contain saturated fats, they are low in calories,
protein-rich and heart healthy.
Shrimp and Oysters: Studies by Harvard School of Public
Health show that eating shrimp provides the male body
enough vitamin D. As mentioned before, vitamin D help to
boost testosterone levels. Oysters are rich in zinc, which
helps to produce testosterone in the body.
Coconut: Coconut is a rich source of saturated fat and
helps to boost testosterone levels.
Strawberries: Strawberries are rich in vitamin C. It also
contains antioxidants, which help balance testosterone
levels in the body.
Pomegranates: Pomegranate is known as a super food
because it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Bananas: Bananas are a rich source of Riboflavin. Your
body needs riboflavin to produce testosterone.
Mushrooms: Mushrooms such as shiitake, portobello, baby
button, and cremini help balance testosterone levels in the
body.
Brazil nuts: Brazil nuts are a rich source of natural
magnesium.
Seeds: Seeds are rich in zinc and are testosterone-friendly.
Sesame seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds,
watermelon seeds, all are good for the body.
Raw cocoa powder: Taking raw cocoa powder with your
food increases testosterone in the body. Cocoa powder
increases arginine levels in the body and more arginine
means more testosterone. Cocoa also contains
theobromine and magnesium, both help to boost
testosterone in the body.
Green tea: Similar to pomegranates, green tea also
contains antioxidant phytochemicals. Daily green tea
consumption helps balance testosterone levels.
Red wine: Red wine contains Resveratrol, which helps
balance testosterone levels in the body.
Beside the above foods, garlic, ginger and cayenne pepper boost
testosterone production in the body.

Foods and drinks to avoid


Limit or eliminate sugar from your diet: Consuming sugar
leads to high insulin levels and lowers your testosterone
level. According to USDA estimates, an average American
consumes about 12 teaspoons of sugar daily. Besides
lowering testosterone, sugar and sugar-rich drinks can
cause weight gain and lead to various diseases.
Fast food and drinks: Most of the fast foods are made with
hormone ingested, highly processed, low-quality meat.
Eating this type of meat will lower testosterone, and is bad
for the heart and overall health. French fries and sugar-
rich sodas are also bad for testosterone.
Non-organic cheese: Nonorganic cheese contains
antibiotics and excess hormones, which cause hormone
imbalance in the body. This hormone imbalance results in
low level of testosterone.
Mint: Though mint is good for health, the menthol in the
mint lowers testosterone.
Beer: Beer contains a powerful preservative known as
hops. Hops are rich in plant-based estrogen, which reduces
testosterone in the male body. So stop drinking beer, but if
you must, drink one or two Gruit beers daily because Gruit
beers don’t contain hops.

Also, avoid smoking marijuana because studies have shown that


marijuana smokers have a lower level of testosterone in their body
than non-marijuana smokers.

Chapter 3 Lifestyle Changes That Will
Boost Your Testosterone

The following are some lifestyle changes that are good for your
overall health and help to maintain a healthy level of testosterone.
Get enough sleep: According to health experts and doctors,
poor sleep is the most important factor when it comes to
low testosterone. Chronic lack of sleep or habitually
sleeping for a shorter period will affect a variety of
chemicals and hormones in your body and have a
damaging impact on your testosterone. Make sleep a
priority and sleep at least 7 to 8 hours every night.
Maintain a healthy weight: Studies show that overweight
or obese people are more prone to low testosterone
problem. If you are overweight or obese, losing the extra
weight can boost testosterone production. Similarly, for
underweight men, gaining a few pounds can help bring
testosterone back up.
Exercise regularly: Your brain adjusts testosterone levels
according to your activity. If you live a sedentary life and
spend most of your time lying on the couch, your brain
drops testosterone production because it thinks you don’t
need much. But if you are physically active, your brain tells
your body to produce more testosterone. Practice at least
150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity such as fast
walking, cycling or swimming every week and practice
strength exercises several days a week that work all the
major muscles of your body.
Manage stress: If you live a stressed life, your body will
produce more stress hormone cortisol and it will be less
able to create testosterone. So manage your stress. Use
healthy methods to manage your stress, such as yoga,
meditation, and exercise.
Review your medications: Some medications can cause a
drop in your testosterone level, including:
Anabolic steroids
Glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone
Opioid drugs such as OxyContin, MS Contin, and
fentanyl.
If you take any of these medications, discuss with your doctor
and make necessary adjustments.
Avoid supplements: Avoid supplements such as DHEA and
testosterone-boosting supplements because they will do
little to raise your testosterone.
Conclusion
With a few dietary and lifestyle changes, you will see a vast
improvement in your sex life.
