Boost Testosterone Naturally With These 10 Foods

Boost testosterone naturally

Testosterone is an androgen, a male sex hormone, though females need it too. After the age of 30, most men experience a gradual decline in testosterone. In an attempt to boost testosterone levels, some men switch to T-Booster Supplements. While 90% of the T-Booster supplements in the market claimed to boost testosterone, researchers found that less than 25% of the supplements had data to support their claims. Many of the T-Boosters also contained high doses of vitamins and minerals which is more than the tolerable limit and not good for health at all. As per the FDA, unlike drugs, supplements are not intended to treat, diagnose, prevent or cure diseases. The safest and most effective way to boost testosterone levels naturally is through Nutrition. Good levels of magnesium, zinc, omega-3 and vitamin D in diet can all help to sustain your healthy testosterone levels.

Daily doses of 125mg of ashwagandha all the way up to 5g have shown benefits in clinical trials. But it may interact with your thyroid, blood sugar and blood pressure medications. So you should always consult a medical professional before starting it.

Before beginning to consume any of the foods listed here, please consult a doctor to check for allergies or any other issues these foods may cause. Changing your diet is one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy testosterone levels but physical activity, sleep quality and weight management are equally important. 

If you lack sleep, you find it harder to exercise and easier to gain fat and if you gain weight, your testosterone production drops. If your weight is healthy you find it easier to exercise and get good sleep and if you lose weight, your testosterone levels can jump right back up to normal!
