Consuming more onions can potentially boost testosterone levels. Testosterone plays a crucial role in male characteristics such as hair growth and muscle development. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decrease. Instead of resorting to hormone therapies that can deactivate the gland that produces testosterone, a better approach is to support the gland through granular therapy and nutrition. Onions contain a compound called corsetin, which triggers the release of luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland. This hormone regulates the production of testosterone in the testicles. Studies have shown that onions can be about 75% effective in increasing testosterone levels. Additionally, onions offer other health benefits, such as insulin resistance support, antioxidant effects, anti-cancer properties, and improved vascular health. Eating raw or lightly cooked onions is the best way to obtain corsetin.
