What foods to eat to increase testosterone

Low testosterone levels can make men more susceptible to illness and affect fertility. Because the element is not sufficient, there is no way to produce healthy sperm, and it is difficult for sperm to combine with the egg. Some patients will also have normal sexual desire and sex life affected by testosterone. Therefore, if men want to increase testosterone, they must first start with diet. Food adjustment will be safer and more reassuring.

If your testosterone level is low, you can eat the following foods:

(1) Animal offal. It contains more cholesterol, which is an important ingredient in the synthesis of sex hormones. In addition, it also contains adrenaline and sex hormones, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonia. Therefore, eating animal hearts, livers, kidneys, intestines and other internal organs in moderation can help increase the level of androgen in the body, increase semen secretion, and improve sexual function.

(2) Foods containing zinc. Zinc is an indispensable trace element for the human body and plays an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of the male reproductive system. Zinc deficiency can reduce sperm count, affect sexual desire and cause sexual dysfunction. The results of the study suggest that zinc deficiency is associated with what TCM calls "kidney yang deficiency." The food with the highest zinc content is oyster meat. Other foods such as beef, milk, chicken, chicken liver, egg yolk, shellfish, peanuts, cereals, beans, potatoes, vegetables, and brown sugar all contain a certain amount of zinc.

(3) Foods containing arginine. Arginine is an essential component for sperm formation. Eating foods rich in arginine regularly helps nourish the kidneys and replenish sperm. This type of food is slimy and includes eel, catfish, loach, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, silkworm pupae, chicken, frozen tofu, seaweed, peas, etc.

(4) Calcium-containing foods. Calcium ions can stimulate sperm maturation. Foods rich in calcium include dried shrimps, salted eggs, egg yolks, dairy products, soybeans, kelp, sesame paste, etc.

(5) Foods rich in vitamins. Vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C all help delay aging and prevent sexual dysfunction, and they are mostly found in fresh vegetables and fruits.
