Testosterone is a crucial part of the male existence. It doesn’t only control your sex drive but also controls your muscle density and in a lot of way will contribute to your brain function as well. Males tend to loose around 2% of their testosterone count every year after 30. This means that many males 50 years or more have virtually no sex drive, are loosing muscle density at a rate of knots, and sailing headlong into rapid cognitive decline.
WHAT FOODS CAN I START EATING TO OFFSET THIS LOSS?
Great question!
- Purple Sweet Potato’s.
- Brazil Nuts – Silenium in Brazil nuts enchances testosterone production (you only need 2-4 nuts a day – don’t have too many of them!)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Contains healthy cholesterol – drizzle it on salads etc….
- Spinich and Dark Leafy Greens – loaded with Magnesium / Nitrates – you can have as much of this as you want Fatty Fish – Salmon, Tuna and macrel – Omega 3 in fish is great for testosterone function and brain function. Try to get wild salmon, not farmed fish. Farm raised fish won’t do you much good
- Whole Eggs – make sure you have the yolk as well as the whites! The Yolks contain testosterone building cholesterol.
- Garlic – Its good for pretty much everything.
- Cacao – either get the powder, seeds or 85% dark chocolate
- Pomegranite – I find this hard to get anywhere so the best I can do is buy the juice
- Oysters – We’ll we’ve probably all heard this one but its true!
