Diet and Testosterone

Testosterone levels are affected by a whole range of things, diet being one of them. While eating testosterone-friendly food is?necessary?for optimizing testosterone levels, it isn?t?sufficient. You also need to throw in some heavy weightlifting along with some lifestyle changes like reducing stress and sleeping better.

Summer Sausage And Cheddar Cheese

My all-time favorite holiday snack is a plate of summer sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. When Buddy the Elf told the Gimbels Santa that he ?smelled like meat and cheese,? that phony Santa should have taken it as a compliment.

Meat and cheese are loaded with testosterone-boosting cholesterol and fats. Plus, they?re delicious. Combined, a serving of summer sausage and cheddar cheese provides 65 mg of cholesterol and 18 g of fat (most in the form of saturated fat). Of course, when I snack on summer sausage and cheese, I?m not just eating a single serving. So we can double those numbers. Plus, sausage and cheese are a good source of protein, which builds muscles, which boosts T.
