"Testosterone plays a crucial role in maintaining strength, energy, and overall vitality. While many associate testosterone solely with masculinity, it is a hormone that affects both men and women. In men, healthy levels are essential for muscle growth, bone density, red blood cell production, libido, and mood regulation. In women, testosterone supports energy balance, reproductive health, and lean muscle. Low levels can contribute to fatigue, mood swings, and decreased overall performance."
"Lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, and exercise are often discussed when addressing testosterone levels. However, diet is one of the most overlooked elements. Many everyday foods and drinks can significantly influence hormonal balance-sometimes in unexpected ways. The choices made at the grocery store, in the kitchen, or at restaurants can either support testosterone or work against it. This article examines foods and drinks that may reduce testosterone over time, helping readers make informed dietary choices."
Testosterone supports muscle growth, bone density, red blood cell production, libido, mood, energy balance, reproductive health, and lean muscle in both sexes. Low testosterone can cause fatigue, mood swings, and reduced physical performance. Sleep, stress, and exercise affect testosterone, but diet is a major and often overlooked factor. Many common foods and beverages can alter hormonal balance and either support or undermine testosterone over time. Certain soy-based products contain phytoestrogens that can mimic estrogen and, with high intake, may interfere with testosterone production or bioavailability. Athletes who rely heavily on soy protein powders should diversify protein sources to reduce potential hormonal impact.
