Today, we’re going to talk about one of the best natural remedies to increase testosterone: onions. Testosterone does a lot in the body, including increasing libido, controlling male characteristics, and increasing muscle growth. When someone takes testosterone, they inactivate the gland that makes the hormone. Generally, we want to choose natural ways to increase testosterone, which can involve natural glandular therapy. Onions are high in quercetin, which triggers the luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone controls and can increase the production of testosterone in males. Onions also have a lot of additional health benefits: • They have powerful antioxidant effects • They have properties that help with insulin resistance • They have anti-cancer properties • They can help increase nitric oxide to support the vascular system • They may help reduce the risk of cataracts • They may help reduce the risk of allergies • They have potent anti-inflammatory properties • They may help decrease blood pressure • They can act as a diuretic It’s best to consume raw onions to support healthy testosterone levels. However, you can sauté the onions or cook them—just be sure not to overcook them. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Let's talk about how you can actually boost testosterone just with consuming more onions. And of course, testosterone is definitely a problem with men as they get older. By the time you reach 40, every year your testosterone decreases by 1%. And testosterone does many things beyond just increasing libido. It's in control of male characteristics like hair on your body. It's also involved in muscle. There are quite a few people that are also going the testosterone round and getting testosterone, pellets, and taking testosterone injections, things like that, which I'm not crazy about those therapies simply because any time you start taking a hormone, you inactivate the gland that makes that hormone. So my question is, why would you need to increase the hormone on the first place? What's actually causing a decrease in that hormone? Generally speaking, a much better approach would be more glandular therapy, supporting the gland with certain nutrition or even whole-desiccated gland unars. Because that way you're supporting the thing that communicates, not necessarily the communication

between the gland and the receptor. Because really, the endocrine system is a communication network, very similar to neurotransmitters that work through the nervous system. So hormones are created, sent through the blood, and get received to create different effects. And so when you tend to bypass mother nature, it always comes with a problem or a side effect. But in this video, I'm going to talk just about something that won't have any side effects, onions. Now, what does an onion do for testosterone? Well, apparently, there's something in the onion that triggers another hormone called mutinizing hormone from the pituitary and lupinizing hormone in males travels down to the testicles to increase testosterone. So lupinizing hormone is kind of like the controller or regulator of the production of testosterone. And onion, based in about 29 different studies, was about 75% effective. Onions also give you a lot of additional things.

It has properties to help with insulin resistance. It gives powerful antioxidant effects, scented cancer. It can increase nitric oxide, which can help your vascular system. But they have isolated one compound in onion called chercetin. And out of all 28 vegetables that were studied, onions had the highest amount of this compound. And so they've tested this compound. And they found that it does increase lupinizing hormone. It also helps the body decreasing risk of getting cataracts, allergies. It's good for cancer. It's a potent anti-inflammatory. It can help decrease blood pressure. And it's also a diuretic. So the best way to get this compound, chercetin, out of the onion is to consume it as raw as possible. Now, of course, you're still going to get some if you saute the onion or even cook it as long as you don't overcook it. So here's some really practical ideas on how to get more onions in your diet. I always like to cut a slice of onion on my hamburger and my eggs.

Sometimes I do grilled onions in different dishes. I use onions in guacamole and salsa. Sometimes I put it in my salad, I put it in my soups. So there's many different ways to do this. And it's a real simple, no-brainer way to indirectly increase your testosterone through increasing the chercetin. But there's many other ways to increase or boost testosterone. And if you haven't seen this video in testosterone, it's essential. I put it up right here.

Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Fight for by Virginians for fair elections.
