Testosterone Levels In Men: 14 Foods That May Boost a Man's Testosterone Men's Health Nutrition
When a man turns 30, his testosterone levels can decrease by 1 to 2 percent a year. By the time he reaches his 40s and 50s, his testosterone production can be down to half of what it once was, according to Clark Bartram, Performance and Nutrition Industry expert for and lead adviser to the International Sports Sciences Association.
“Giving you half the testosterone production and double the belly fat – that’s not good,” he says. “That’s why it’s so important for us older men to start boosting our natural testosterone immediately.”
Rather than get testosterone treatments or “legal steroids” (with frequent side effects) from a physician, Bartram says, “Let food be your medicine.” The fats in red meat as well as salmon and tuna boost testosterone. Other such foods are:
- almonds
- garlic
- eggs
- cabbage
- spinach
- asparagus
- avocados
- bananas
- watermelon
- citrus fruit
- grapes
- honey
