The work of all organs in the male body, the growth and strength of muscles, sexual desire and sexual activity directly depend on the level of testosterone. And yet, this hormone is responsible for normal metabolism and prevents the deposition of fat.
“Low testosterone is a common cause of male obesity,” says nutritionist Natalia Fedorenko.
Proper nutrition for men’s health and increased testosterone
Without a full balanced diet for men it is impossible to establish a hormonal background. It is necessary to provide the body with “high-quality fuel,” and for this we include in the diet:
More products containing zinc
The most important element for testosterone production! Zinc promotes the production of healthy sperm, and also increases their number. It prevents the conversion of testosterone into estrogen (female hormone) due to the inactivation of the aromatase enzyme.
More citrus, berries, greens and nuts
A special role in increasing testosterone levels is played by: vitamin C – an antioxidant, suppresses the production of cortisol; vitamin E – antioxidant, helps insulin to exercise with increased sugar; vitamin D – converts estrogen into its weaker forms; omega-3 and omega-6 – essential acids, are an integral part of the testosterone biosynthesis pathway.
