Gaining muscle mass will help your body optimize hormone levels and produce more testosterone. Levels will vary from one person to another however , it can all be elevated naturally without steroids. I cannot stress how important it is having a high protein diet and following that up with regular excercise atleast on a weekly basis. Also keep in mind that if you aren’t getting enough vitamin C , be sure to get a multi vitamin. It isn’t very costly and you can get it at almost any supermarket.

This may be bad news for vegetarians , as research shows vegetarian diets will cause a drop in testosterone production levels. Also a higher fat intake increases testosterone production. However , that doesn’t mean we should eat Mc Donalds for the rest of our lives. Healthy fats and mono saturated fats can be found in foods such as nuts , fish , and red meats. Notice that they are natural fats , not trans fats you get when eating a big mac or chicken taco.

Red meats is high in zinc , which is one of the initial needed minerals to support testosterone production. Do not miss out on zinc. Studies have shown that Americans are getting a zinc deficiency , and other studies point to a decline of testosterone in American males compared to 20 years ago. Zinc deficiency is possibly just one reason for that drop.

Don’t be afraid of soy. Whey protein distributors like to bash soy because it is natural and already being distributed by many businesses. Soy protein is not harmful infact it containes physphatidylserine , a supplement that is proven to reduce cortisol elevation during exercises and promote membrane functions behind proteins. Keeping cortisol levels down can keep testosterone levels on the rise.

Keep cardio at a moderate rate. Do not overtrain! When you feel fatigued that is when your body’s tissues need to regenerate and use protein intake. Overtraining can lead to damage and work against you leaving your testosterone levels lower than normal. Remember to get plenty of rest and keep nutrition ahead of your cravings.
