Testosterone-Boosting Foods
HASHTAG: #AMCoffee
The fact of life is that our bodies are an example of the most complex mechanism that is living, breathing and doing some tremendous accomplishments on their own. We study and learn our bodily functions, how organs and tissues communicate with each other on the cellular level, and make new discoveries for ourselves every day.
In a healthy body, things work together like an orchestra, balancing their act and supporting each other. Today’s conversation is about testosterone. Though it is predominantly men who need this hormone, it would be silly to brush away an important fact that women, too, need it for a healthy functioning.
We don’t have testosterone in such quantities like men. Yet we require this hormone for our well-being, healthy libido, body composition, energy levels, and emotional health.
When we eat a balanced diet, bodies function better and deal with stressors on a higher level, fighting diseases and infections that threaten us all the time. Dietary factors can optimize testosterone levels for those people who are lacking this livelihood hormone. We are not doctors here, and you should always consult with your medical professional about any health concerns. Educating ourselves what happens in our bodies supports our awareness to bring up any complaint to a medical professional on the timely basis.
Testosterone levels fluctuate in our body. Consuming enough of dietary fat helps to support a balanced equilibrium of testosterone. There are studies, mostly on men, that show that testosterone levels in men are positively related to their intake of saturated and monounsaturated fat via food.
“Men who consumed 30% of their calories from fat had 33% and 67% higher levels of testosterone than men who consumed only 20% or 15% of their calories from fat, respectively.” (study published in Journal of Applied Physiology by Penn State University)
