Eating to Increase Testosterone
The good news is that those that suffer from low levels of testosterone can actually do something about it. Often times, it’s as simple as making a change in your diet. This doesn’t mean you have to completely overhaul your eating habits, but it does mean making an effort to eat certain things.

It also lowers you LDL levels, which are known as bad cholesterol. As LDL deceases, circulation improves. This will help rectify erectile dysfunction too. Homemade guacamole is a great way to enjoy this healthy snack.
Grapes
Sweet and tangy grapes will also have a positive effect on your testosterone levels. Try eating a handful every day. Add them to a fruit salad if you find yourself getting bored. The resveratrol found in grape skins will make for healthier sperm. While red wine has decent levels of resveratrol, the alcohol prevents it from having a positive impact on your testosterone levels. If you just like to drink it for taste, however, non-alcoholic red wine has been shown to increase testosterone.
Tuna
Fish in general is good for testosterone. Your body needs fats to produce all hormones, and it’s best to eat healthy fats, such as those found in fish. Tuna, however, has the benefit of high levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D has a tremendous ability to raise testosterone levels and is also linked to a healthy sex drive. Fresh tuna is great, but even canned tuna will work well. Tuna sandwiches for lunch are a great option.
Pomegranate
