Our testosterone levels go down as we age. We often try to find ways of keeping our levels at their top. Sometimes, we take over the counter supplementations. We also seek advice from our doctors on how we can improve our testosterone levels. Among the recommendations we receive from our doctors is improving our diets and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that not all foods are safe for your testosterone? Some diets harm your testosterone levels. The following foods are harmful to this hormone, and you should avoid them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Soy Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soy has been\nhailed for its health benefits for a long time. But it is time we review its\neffects on men\u2019s\nhealth. Although it is recommended for other health benefits, this great food\nprotein seems to affect testosterone levels in a negative way. Researchers\nreport that soy contains phytoestrogens. These are substances found in plants,\nand they mimic estrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When estrogen is\nmimicked, the body detects a change in hormone and stops producing\ntestosterone. The amount of testosterone thus reduces with time as the brain\nwill signal the testes to stop its production. A study from the University of\nConnecticut also revealed that soy boosts the production of cortisol. Cortisol\nis a stress-causing hormone in our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress is a\ncommon factor that prohibits the production of this essential male hormone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Flax Seeds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flax seeds are a\ngood source of Omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, and other essential vitamins. It is\nalso rich in lignan, a compound that is estrogenic. These seeds can work best\nfor women as the compound lignan helps in reducing the amount of testosterone\nin the body. A study carried out on women with testosterone levels reported a\n70% decline of testosterone and 89% that of free testosterone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, these\nseeds are a nightmare in your masculine features. The rate at which flax\nreduces this male\u2019s important hormone is grave. The effect is true even\non men. Even if this seed contains a lot of nutritional benefits, perhaps it is\ntime to look for other alternatives. Of course, if testosterone levels are of\nconcern to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
