It is generally accepted that testosterone is the hormone of the "stronger sex". When the phrase "real man" sounds, this indicates a high level of testosterone in the body. A beautiful body, self-confidence, determination - testosterone is responsible for everything.
In the fair sex, testosterone levels are lower than in men, but, nevertheless, it is very important for the normal functioning of the female body. When testosterone decreases in women, this, first of all, affects the general well-being: chronic fatigue, fatigue, weakness, vile mood, depression appear, weight grows.
If you have symptoms that indicate low testosterone levels, then with low level fluctuations, you can increase the production of this hormone in the body in simple and natural ways.
The first thing to do is to review your diet and bring something new to your eating habits, because it is a balanced diet that has a great impact on testosterone levels in the body. To produce this hormone, the body simply needs sufficient levels of magnesium, calcium and zinc, as well as vitamins B, C, D and E. Do not forget about the saturated fats and cholesterol contained in food.
Let's now look at the list of foods that are great for boosting testosterone.
Red meat is great for boosting testosterone in men. If you eat about 200 grams of red meat per day, such as beef, veal and horse meat, then testosterone levels will increase significantly.
Seafood and fish are healthier than red meat. They are low in calories, easy to digest, contain zinc and a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. They are responsible for accelerating and increasing the production of testosterone. Any seafood is ideal for the diet of girls with low hormone levels. It is a pity that seafood is a rare guest on our tables.
Chicken and quail eggs can be considered high-protein foods that increase testosterone levels. Egg yolk contains cholesterol - the first building material for testosterone molecules. So feel free to stock up on eggs. For men, the norm is 3-4 eggs per day, for women - 1-2. Few calories, but the benefits are huge.
If we talk about dairy products (cottage cheese, kefir, cheese), then they are more suitable for increasing testosterone in men. Not very fatty natural cottage cheese is a pure protein that is easily digestible.
Legumes are very rich in zinc, they have no analogue in the content of this trace element in plant foods. Lots of protein, fiber and a little fat is ideal. Beans, peas, green beans, chickpeas and other legumes can be consumed absolutely in any form, they do not lose their properties even after cooking.
Cereals play an important role in regulating testosterone levels, and in order to increase it, it is best to eat buckwheat and millet, brown rice and barley.
Nuts are a real storehouse of vitamins and minerals for the synthesis of testosterone. You can eat any nuts or mixtures to your taste: walnuts and pine nuts, pistachios and hazelnuts, cashews and almonds. For the fair sex, nuts are one of the best sources of testosterone.
Mushrooms also contain a substance that stimulates the production of this hormone.
We must not forget about the influence of vegetables and fruits. They also contain different groups of vitamins that have a beneficial effect on the normalization of testosterone levels.
In general, to increase testosterone, you can eat whatever you like, as long as there is fat and protein. No need to follow a low-carb diet or other trendy but poorly balanced diets. It is important to understand that our body needs saturated fats from plant and animal sources.
