• 3 cloves of garlic (mixed or juiced)
• 1 soft fruit (could be watermelon, orange, banana, mango, pineapple, etc.)
• 2 small handfuls of berries
• 2-4 tbsp. of protein milk or chocolate powder
• 2 tbsp. of binder
• 1 tbsp. oil
• 1.5 cups liquid
• 1 tsp. of sweetener (optional, add as desired)
• Super foods, greens, and other healthy ingredients
• 6 ice cubes.

Instructions: Simply mix all ingredients in a blender. Starting with the ice cubes, then add all the other ingredients and set the blender on high speed. Do this for about a minute. Don't over-blend as you can destroy the nutrients by doing so. Pour into a tall glass. Enjoy! See? No garlicky taste.

Spinach Pie Garlic Quesadillas

Oh yeah, this one is inspired by one of the manliest men in the world, Popeye the Sailor Man. Okay now, here's the recipe for this outrageously delicious and muscle building testosterone booster.

• 3 or more garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 Tsp. olive oil
• 1/4 onions (finely diced)
• 2 scallions (sliced white and light green parts)
• 1/4 Tsp sea salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 pinch oregano (thyme, cayenne)
• 1 1/2 cups spinach (fresh)
• 1 flour tortilla (inched in diameter)
• 1 large egg whites
• 1 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp. feta cheese (crumbled, divided)

Instructions: Heat oil in a small nonstick pan. Add the onion and scallions and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Cook until it becomes soft (not brown or black, as this destroys the nutrients in garlic). Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, and the spices. Mix in the spinach and cook until it's wilted. This takes about 2 minutes. Put the mixture into a bowl until it cools. In another bowl, whisk the egg white, yogurt and 1 tablespoon of feta. Add the spinach and, mix together, and drain. Wipe the pan and brush with olive oil. Set on low heat. Place the tortilla wrap in the pan. Sprinkle remaining feta all over the tortilla to soften it, slightly. Turn the heat to medium and pour the spinach-egg mixture over the tortilla. Using the spatula, fold the tortilla in half. Flip to the other side after about 2 minutes, until the egg firms up. Cooking takes at least 4 minutes. Cut into large wedges, serve, and enjoy!

By now, you might be wondering what exactly testosterone is.

Testosterone is the hormone responsible for bringing out a man's features. Primarily, it maintains bone density, muscle mass and strength, your sex drive, fat distribution and, of course, sperm production. It is produced primarily in the testicles, although the adrenal gland also produces it to a lesser extent. The regulation is done by the pituitary gland. Testosterone levels in men naturally decrease with age. After the age of 30, Testosterone levels decrease by about 1% a year. Still, with the help of garlic and a healthy lifestyle, you can keep your testosterone levels high for a long time.

• Not too much garlic, my friend. Extreme garlic diets can backfire and actually decrease testosterone levels. You've been warned.
• Garlic can have negative effects on your health if used in excess.
• Stress, lack of sleep, soy intake, smoking and eating a low fat diet are factors that can decrease your testosterone level. Beware of these things.
• Along with garlic intake, get a good night's sleep, de-stress through a 10-minute meditation, eat a good serving of fat and avoid cigarette smoking.

How to increase testosterone with garlic?

Garlic enhances the synthesis of protein, which results in bigger and stronger muscles. Hormones are altered with the added synthesis of the protein that occurs when garlic is ingested, which then leads to higher testosterone levels. You can use garlic supplements, and use more garlic powder or fresh garlic when cooking.

Garlic is one of the herbal treasures with various health benefits to the body. One of these health benefits - it increases the testosterone level of the body. It does this by increasing testosterone production in the body. It is the sulfur compound diallyl-disulfide found in the garlic that stimulates the secretion of the LH hormone or the luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland. The luteinizing hormone stimulates the Leydig cells of the testis to produce testosterone leading to an increase in testosterone levels in the body. Regarding your query, you can safely take a daily garlic supplement of 10 cloves up to 1 bud of garlic and add it to your daily diet to increase your testosterone.

How to increase androgen in women using garlic?

Research and studies have shown that garlic contains diallyl-disulfide, which has a positive effect on boosting testosterone levels. Since most women are concerned with the effects of garlic on their skin and their body odor, using garlic in your diet is an efficient way to balance the amount of garlic consumed in the body.

• One way to incorporate it into your diet is by sprinkling garlic powder on your food.
  
• You could also try adding more cloves of garlic when preparing meals.
  

Studies have indicated that combining garlic with high protein diets will not only boost the testosterone, but will also help increase the metabolism, and will thereby help reduce weight along the way. Since appearance is just as essential to women as having great androgen levels, garlic is a great way to kill two birds with one stone - losing weight and having a stronger androgen level.

Just add garlic to your regular meals. If you want to experience its immediate effects, you may want to double the amount of garlic you're using now.

If you aren't cooking your own meals, you may want to take garlic like you would a capsule. Just peel off and then take one or two cloves, chop them up and add them to a glass of water. Drink. You'll be surprised that you won't even taste the garlic, but you'll be able to absorb it right away.

Erectile Dysfunction, Libido?

I have lost my libido. I am not able to perform, sexually, and my body is loose.

Diet indeed has a huge effect on your libido. There are certain foods that give it a boost, while on the other hand; there are other foods that inhibit it. Garlic is well known to increase libido and it is very easy to include in your diet.

Stress may also be a factor. If you are undergoing a lot of stressful situations, that might explain why your libido is very low.
