What are the best foods for increasing Testosterone?
This should be easy to remember.Nuts are good for your nuts!
Its true that it can be minimal.i just read that the amount that food, any food, can increase your own testosterone is very, very, very minimal. so much to the point that you shouldnt worry about it and just go by other means to boosting your test. with food your essentially wasting your time
nah, thats why i looked into it, i was taking in lost of fats from steaks, whole mild, eggs etc. so i decided to really look into it. id advoacte just getting in the protien carbs and fats you need and go by other means to boosting your test. food will NOT raise it to any level where it will make a difference on muscle building.
x2 lets see some references.link to study please

+1000ok so your telling me that we live in a world where man can increase testosterone by eating a steak, drinking a glass of milk, or even just adding a packet of sweetener to your tea? if this were true we all would simply swallow our ways to better bodies without the use of supplementation or steroids.
there are very few naturally occuring simple molecules that can change a persons phsiology, mood, or preformance. if you believe food can significantly boost test then eat up, but there would be no need for supplementation or use of steriods if this were true.

Spinach contains hydroxyecdysone.Yams. ecdysterone from yams. I think....
Amen...And nothing is sexier than a toned woman with flat abs or a six pack.
I just read that post. It seems really interesting. The only problem is, have you ever had onion juice? That sh!t burns all the way down to your stomach and makes you feel like you want to vomit. Plus the article never states what kind of onions were used. I know that their are a lot of different varieties of onions out their, which one was used? But def a very interesting article.
I've never had it - and they said it was your basic garden onion. I'd use a white onion. I would just focus on eating one per day if you really wanted to see if this had any benefit.

QFEI agree with what you've said Ricky, there's no way we can boost testosterone levels to a significant point through food. If we think that way, Inuit people would have the highest testosterone levels in the whole human race, since the ones that still live from what nature gives to them eat a high protein and high fat diet, and these fat are mainly cholestrol and fish oil. On the other side, there's people from Asia that eat a soy rich diet that is said to low testosterone, wich by the way isn't true from own experience (I've done a blood test with total testosterone, progestin, estrogen and other hormones and my estrogen was on the mid levels and the test was 757,5ng/dl in a scale where 800ng/dl is the maximum for an adult male), so from there we can see the "power" of food in ours hormone profiles
This is true. There is no "if" about itIf this were true we all would simply swallow our ways to better bodies without the use of supplementation or steroids.
What foods contain natural estrogens?Some foods contain a natural estrogen. Eating healthy will maximize your test levels. It wont give you steroid like test levels but eating healthy will give you optimal test levels while off a cycle. This will help you keep your gains.
What he said! Fatty foods. Eat up your whole eggs kidsanything that contains cholesterol.
Small increases in testosterone over time may amount to a significant raise in baseline testosterone. I've found the best results with basic recommendations to my clients:
-Try to eat red meat(lean cuts, grass-fed is preferred), salmon, or omega-3 eggs once per day
-Take supplemental omega-3's
-Eat plenty of green veggies like spinach and broccoli
-Do not over-train
-Do not under-sleep
-Manage your stress levels
the hormonal cascade that follows these relatively simple guidelines can actually make noticeable differences in the way you look and feel.
luckily with beef, there is less quantity of EFA vs something like chicken. Chicken despite being lower in fat, has more omega-6 than a lean cut of steak. Even corn-fed beef is okay. It does not have as good of a O3:O6 ratio as grass fed but I would be more worried about eating the cheap, corn-fed poultry. They are quite high in omega-6. Free range chicken/turkey is a good way to go. Many people find these selections unaffordable, so what I recommend in that case is simply add sources of omega-3 to your diet to keep a healthy ratio in place. EPA/DHA are the best sources (fish oil), but getting some ALA from flax for instance is good too.I've been trying to eat grass-fed beef, the only problem is its really hard to find and not everywhere sells it
