Researchers at the University of Worcester have concluded that following a low-fat diet causes a 10-15% decrease in testosterone levels. At the same time, lethargy appears, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes increases. The mental and sexual health of men is weakened.

Earlier studies have shown a reduction in hormone production. The diet of the participants in the experiment first included up to 40% of fatty foods, then – no more than 20%. In the second case, the indicated decrease occurred.

The subjects tolerated the vegetarian diets worst of all. If they were observed, the production of the male hormone was reduced to 26% – reports MedicForum.
