Ways to improve your natural T-level

Did you know that it's actually possible to improve your testosterone-level without hormone replacemnt therapy? Well, it is. This is nice to know whether you're on T or not. You'll both be able to produce more testosterone, AND keep your hormone level somewhat steady if you follow some guidelines. 

It's a commonly known fact that working your muscles will make your body produce more testosterone. As you may know, all women bodybuilders have more masculine features than a woman usually has. It's a winning circle.

By just working out on a regular basis, your T-level will actually be more steady. I realised this when I put together a solid diet and started working out 3-4 times a week. No mood swings, no abnormal food-cravings coming out of the blue, and in general, I'm feeling healthy - at least most of the time!

There are bunches of food you can eat that'll definitely do their job to get you the best results you can possibly imagine:

1| Broccoli

Contains:

Indole-3-carbinol, fiber

How it works:

Elevated estrogen levels are bad. They interfere with muscle growth and lead to fat accumulation. Indole-3-carbinol has been shown to cut the largely female hormone estradiol in half for men.

2| Cabbage

Contains:
Indole-3-carbinol, fiber

How it works:
The same estradiol-restricting properties as broccoli, plus cabbage is high in fiber. Fiber is great for controlling weight, as it prevents the consumption of fattier foods.
3| Brussels sprouts

Contains:
Indole-3-carbinol, fiber

How it works:
Are you seeing a pattern? Specifically target bad estrogen and pack in that fiber.

4| Garlic

Contains:
Allicin

How it works:
Garlic’s active ingredient enhances testosterone levels and inhibits cortisol. Cortisol competes with testosterone and breaks down muscle tissue.

5| Oysters

Contains:
Protein, magnesium and zinc

How it works:
They increase your physical endurance because oysters pack more zinc than almost any other food source just six gives you almost seven times the RDA and zinc plays an integral role in muscle growth and testosterone levels.

6| Beans

Contains:
Protein, fiber, zinc

How it works:
The magical fruit does more than make you toot. Tons of zinc, high in protein and fiber and low in fat.

7| Poultry

Contains:
Lots of protein and little fat

How it works:
High-protein diets have a positive impact on muscle mass and testosterone levels. Chicken will get you there.

8| Eggs

Contains:
Protein and cholesterol

How it works:
Testosterone is synthesized from cholesterol. Eggs are a source of pure, unadulterated cholesterol, and one recent study showed that the excess cholesterol in eggs isn’t as harmful as previously thought. So start creating that testosterone.

9| Cottage cheese 

Contains:
Protein with very little fat

How it works:
"One cup of 1% cottage cheese has more protein and less fat than a serving of lean beef or chicken and because it has casein protein it digests slowly making it the perfect before bedtime snack."

-----------------

So there you have it. Plenty of foods that will help you keep a healthy and stabile T-level. And don't fear if there are some of these things you can't stand. You can just go with the others!
