Believe it or not, improving serum testosterone levels naturally, has always been a topic of debate among healthcare professionals. Although, a lot of pharmaceutical companies creates this false illusion that testosterone levels can only be increased if you consume certain supplements, but most clinical studies have statistically proven that natural methods are far more effective at improving your testosterone levels.
Munching nuts is perhaps the most fun and delicious way to obtain healthy nutrients and optimizing health. Numerous studies have reinforced the beneficial effects of nuts on the cardiovascular health and nervous system. In addition, many nuts are enriched with fiber and therefore serves as a good source of vitamins and minerals too. In short, nuts are healthy and have an overall good impact on our health. But are nuts an equally heathy source of hormones?
From a logical perspective, nuts are an excellent source of high quality lipids which should automatically translate into high serum testosterone levels, but this is not the case. When it comes to hormones (especially male sex hormone – testosterone); the nuts are not as good as they are thought to be.
However, based on these facts it would not be appropriate to say that all nuts are harmful for your testosterone levels. In fact, some nuts have beneficial effects on your basal testosterone levels.
Following are the nuts that are known to benefit your sexual and reproductive system.
Nuts that can harm testosterone:
Based on above stated facts, it can be safely concluded that higher the PUFA and phytosterol contents in nuts, more harm it can pose to male sex hormone levels. Likewise, nuts that are enriched with testosterone boosting micronutrients can be very advantageous for male health.
