Turbo charged superfoods - double your power

Here are some ideas of what to eat to boost your muscle building hormone - testosterone.

Magic beans - baked beans

These wonder nuggets cram in more of the testosterone - boosting mineral zinc than any other vegetable. Baked beans even rival the zinc content of red meat.

Sow your own oats - oats

Anything made with oats contains the compound avena sativa, which stimulates testosterone to surge through your blood supply.

Return of the mac - macadamias nuts

It's not the reason they're called nuts, but Macadamias are one of the best sources of monounsaturated fat (17g per oz), which increases your resting testosterone levels.

Fat chance - cheese

A study in the Journal of applied physiology showed men who ate the most saturated (found in cheese) and monounsaturated fat had the highest testosterone levels.

Go green - spinach

Spinach is loaded with Vitamin E to preserve your testosterone supplies. But don't eat more than a salad sized bag a day - large doses have been known to raise blood pressure systems.
