Adequate amount of testosterone (male sex hormone) is of great importance for the physical well-being and active intimate life of men. Also in the male body in small quantities contains the female sex hormone - estrogen. With a decrease in testosterone production, estrogen levels increase. As it turned out, a number of products containing estrogen can lead to an increase in the amount of female hormone.

Phytoestrogens contained in foods of plant and animal origin do not affect the male body as effectively as estrogen, but they can still be harmful to health. Once in the cells and tissues of the body, phytoestrogens replace their own hormones in the body, while having a negative effect on the well-being of men.

One of the record holders for phytoestrogen content is soybeans. Soya firmly entered the diet of Europeans and America. A study conducted in 2010 by scientists from Northern Ireland showed a decrease in sperm quality in men who consumed foods supplemented with soy. According to Dr. Shin Lewity, Head of the Department of Reproductive Medicine, University of Quis: “Such nutrition led to the development of infertility in a fairly large number of mature men”.

A small amount of phytoestrogens is contained in hummus. Hummus is a sauce that contains boiled chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice and sesame paste. It would seem: the product contains only useful components. However, Stephen Wheaterley, a well-known nutritionist researcher in America, noted that men who often use hummus develop a effeminate type of figure over time.. As it turned out, hummus contains a huge amount of phytoestrogens, which have such an effect on the male body. Also, excessive passion for this sauce leads to problems with weight, impaired erection, infertility.

Testing by many beloved beer also showed disappointing results.. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology empirically confirmed the content of a large amount of phytoestrogens in this drink. The introduction of laboratory rodents into the body for a month of beer led to an increase in weight and a decrease in fertility. Men who consider beer to be a safe drink are deeply mistaken, and risk getting not only a beer tummy, but also intimate problems.
