Spinach Bowl of spinach

Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse and should always be included in any list looking at foods that boost testosterone production.

It’s a rich source of Zinc, Magnesium & Vitamin B6 and vitamin C & all of these are a natural testosterone booster!

Spinach is also a great source of indole 3 carbinol (found in many leafy vegetables, this is an anti cancer compound that also removes excess estrogen from the body, which aids your testosterone to estrogen ratio!

Something to highlight is that you need to make sure you cook the spinach due to oxalates. These are antinutrients & when eaten in excess can prevent nutrient absorption, soaking & cooking helps remove them & that is why it is a must!

Celery celery

It’s rumoured that just smelling celery is enough for boosting testosterone. I still however advise to consume it to get the full effects! Celery is also a decent source of vitamin K1, plant sterols which positively impact the production of testosterone & other sex hormones.

Finally, celery is also a source of the flavonoid, apigenin which helps  converting cholesterol & lowering aromatisation, which is the process where testosterone is converted to estrogen. So in all celery is a bit of super food for testosterone production.

Sweet Potatoes & Potatoes

These two may be considered an unusual addition to your list, neither of these have a nutrition profile that is explicitly good for boosting testosterone production.

The reason they are included in this list is they are naturally complex carbohydrates, a deficiency in carbs will lead to spikes in cortisol, which leads to lowered testosterone production.

So ideally you want to consume naturally occurring carbs and secondly complex as suppose to simple carbs, as simple carbs can turn spike blood sugars, which leads to insulin spikes which suppress testosterone production.

The other benefit of potatoes is unlike whole grains, they aren’t a source of gluten & other anti-nutrients, which can ultimately lead to less nutrients being absorbed and as a result, lowered testosterone production.

BroccoliPlat of broccoli
