How Do Vegetarians Increase Testosterone?
-
High Intensity
-
Whether you're a vegetarian, fruitarian, frugavore or vegan, you still have something in common with meat eaters. That is the ability to lift weights. Heavy lifting can help boost testosterone levels. The best exercises to do are multi joint routines such as bench presses, deadlifts, military presses and squats.
Healthy Fats
-
Testosterone is produced in the testes of the male. Essential fatty acids aid in the production of testosterone. For that reason, there are some sources of essential fatty acids that vegetarians use to promote this process. Some examples are flax seed oil, hemp oil and olive oil.

Punpkin Seeds
-
Eating pumpkin seeds offers a few benefits to the vegetarian. They contain a lot of vitamins that help boost libido. Some of these include vitamin K, D, C, E and the B vitamins. The zinc helps testosterone. This prevents low testosterone levels.
Eggs
-
Some vegetarians allow eggs in their diets. They're a good source of protein--which helps increase testosterone--and they're also a source of B-5 and B-6, which are stress-relieving vitamins. They also keep testosterone levels steady in the body.
Fruits, Vegetables and Nuts
-
Many different sources of nuts and vegetables are used by vegetarians to increase testosterone levels. These include celery, bananas, cabbage, spinach, avocados, almonds, and cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
