These 9 foods can lower<br />
testosterone levels<br />
We’re all aware of the negative effects an unhealthy diet can have on our bodies. In<br />
particular, long-term consumption of fast food or foods with a high sugar content<br />
damages our organs and can result in a variety of diseases. On top of this, our<br />
hormonal balance also greatly suffers from poor nutrition – for both women and men.<br />
Nutrition expert and chef Michael Götz-Pijl<br />
knows what effects the consumption of<br />
certain unhealthy foods has, for example, on<br />
the sex hormone testosterone in men. Some of<br />
these same foods are labeled as particularly<br />
healthy, but aren‘t necessarily so.<br />
LINSEED<br />
Let’s start with flax seeds, which are actually<br />
considered very healthy due to their omega-3<br />
fatty acids and high fiber content and are often<br />
eaten in mueslis or bowls. However, if too<br />
much flaxseed is consumed, the testosterone<br />
level in men can inadvertently be lowered.<br />
This is because they contain a high proportion<br />
of so-called lignans, which basically mimic<br />
the hormone estrogen in the body. And the<br />
lowering of the testosterone levels can then<br />
promote the build-up of fat and associated<br />
diseases such as diabetes.<br />
