To find out, I'll be eating 4 POUNDS of them, every week, for the next 10 weeks to see if they contribute to the next testosterone blood draw the 3rd week of June!
The benefits I've found so far:
- They're delicious!
- If you have a sweet tooth like I do, they help to satisfy that desire.
- Eating 4 Pounds over one week is pretty easy when divided into pre-portioned containers:
According to the research I've done, the skins of red grapes π contain resveratrol.
Resveratrol is an aromatase inhibitor.
Aromatase is an enzyme which breaks down testosterone into estrogen.
Inhibit aromatase, preserve testosterone, therefore higher maintained testosterone levels.
The question is, how much resveratrol is needed, and how much resveratrol is there in grapes?
4 Pounds of grapes a week seems reasonable to me...
I suppose a separate study could be performed utilizing JUST red grapes...
Summer's just around the corner though; so let's find out if eating 40 Pounds of red grapes in ten weeks, along with the other foods and supplements I'm using, will raise testosterone!
To see the other measures I'm taking in this personal study, and see the results, follow @scan0017!
Testosterone levels were 428 and 437, measured for a baseline in November and February, let's see what happens in June!
@scan0017 π
what you need Testosterone for man π hmm naughty boy, anyways Testosterone controls our growth of muscles too, its great that you are growing it, wishing you luck and you should have some of these boosting Testosterone foods too, some of them are Pomegranate, Olive Oil, Oysters, Coconut, Cruciferous Vegetables, Whey Protein, Garlic...

You got it!
Many of those examples (and more!) are part of the protocol.
The post previous to this one was all about the pomegranate juice I'm drinking over the next ten weeks...
The others you mentioned are coming up π
Thanks for your comment!
Man, 40 lbs is a lot of grapes. What made you decide to start pursuing raising your testosterone, if you don't mind me asking...feel free to decline if it's private.
I'm in my 40's...
A natural decline in testosterone levels begins at age 30, so I decided to have my levels checked (out of curiosity) to establish a baseline now.
426 & 437 were the results, 3 months apart.
I feel fine, however not like the superhuman animal when 23:
Why not feel incredible again?
Then I had the idea for this anecdotal self-study, to report on Steemit, for the potential benefit for men in their 40's!
My levels were 'within normal limits;' let's see if diet, over-the-counter supplements, and weight training has a measurable effect on hormones?
We'll all find out in June! π
Cool project man, and could be helpful to a lot of people. Hard to get back to that 23 year old energy, though it would be nice.
i appreciate for your this informative post about health...
thanks for sharing
Its too much delicious i think...
Thanxxxx fr sharing a nic fruit pic sir.ππππ
It seems like you really interested about this.π
thanks for the info man.π
That's a good work.
I appreciate your blog. thanks for sharing valuable information

I'm stoked too man!
Every human is flawed; I'm eager to see where JP has fallen because I'm very impressed with him thus far...
Before I call him our modern day Socrates (I'm not there yet, but the thought has occurred to me), I'd love to see him through your eyes π

Interesting!
Haven't hit the religion portion of his book yet (if that's in there)...
He's completely against ideology, rabidly so! Religion and ideology seem pretty close to me but I'm not a linguist.
Mos def always call out the bullshit (both in others and yourself): One of the main tenets of his book.
More on that in a later post β
Beautiful food
I like it this health
I appreciate your blog.......
delicious wine, hopefully I can enjoy it, cool post, I hope you succeed
lol This remindes me my Lemmon process my wife figured would be good for my health. It was some time ago. I had to drink 5 lemons π first day, then each day it increased by another 5 lemons π. Eventually there was one day when I drunk 25 lemons π. The it decreased each day to 5. I have to tell you all together I had to drink about 200 lemons π in over a week. I felt it in my brain π§ , I felt it coming out of my nose π, out of my eyes π. But as my wife said βitβs for your healthβ.
I'd love to read more about that!
Perhaps writing a post about it would give you the space for writing about the why, how it felt coming out your eyes, and whether there was any effect... More please on how you felt it in your brain! π―
What good this information, I will tell my husband to start eating it too, thanks friend @ scan0017.
Prepare for the consequences! π€π
Wuaooooo, what good information for us men, I'm also arriving at 40, I'm going to buy enough grapes.
Well all the very best ;)
Hope these test goes pretty well over the weeks and the T.Level increases as expected !
I was curious, will you be following a particular exercise routing with this experiment, man?
Yes, I am.
Once we're a couple of weeks in I'll share those workout sheets π
