No, bananas do not kill testosterone. In fact, research has proven that bananas increase testosterone levels. It’s believed that bromelain increases a man’s libido. And, bananas are rich in bromelain, an enzyme. In addition to this important enzyme, bananas are also loaded with B vitamins (riboflavin), which are necessary for increasing testosterone levels.
Bananas aren’t only delicious, they’re good for you too. But, be careful eating too many, as sometimes too many bananas can cause the potassium level in your body to be too high. The result of high potassium (hyperkalemia) is very dangerous, sometimes deadly, because it changes your heart rhythm. It’s necessary for the body to have a delicate balance of potassium for the heart and other muscles to work properly.
How Do Bananas Boost Testosterone?
We now know that the bromelain enzyme in bananas helps boost testosterone levels. And, bromelain is an energy source that is slow releasing. This means that one banana before a night of sex is perfect for a great night of passion.
