Testosterone Friendly Vegan Foods

      1. Broccoli – Broccoli contains food compounds that help reduce estrogen levels.
      2. Pumpkin seeds – These little guys are packed with zinc, so they keep the sex organs healthy and help to promote a healthy metabolism. They also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which helps the body produce more serotonin (which balances your hormone levels).
      3. Avocados – Avocados have healthy fats and high levels of vitamin B6, which helps improve test production and also helps reduce cortisol (the stress hormone).
      4. Garlic – Garlic inhibits cortisol, a hormone that actually breaks down muscle tissue. Garlic also enhances testosterone levels.
      5. Nuts – Almonds and walnuts are packed with amino acids such as arginine, which helps improve blood flow. They are also high in monounsaturated fats, which helps maximize testosterone levels.
      6. Bananas – Bananas contain B vitamins, bromelain enzyme, and potassium, all of which help boost your T levels.
      7. Soy – A common misconception is that eating too much soy can lead to lower testosterone levels. But a meta analysis conducted by Jill Hamilton-Reeves. Ph.D. and Mark Messina, Ph.D. concluded that “neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements alter measures of bioavailable T concentrations in men.”
