Your diet affects both your hormonal levels as well as your skeletal system, and your hormonal levels affect your skeletal system as well. For optimal health, all three need to be at their best.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH DIET AND TRAINING
The most obvious effect of your diet on your hormonal profile is the effect a low-fat diet has on testosterone levels, or a diet low in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids has on testosterone levels.
Deficiencies in either area can cause your production of testosterone to decrease, which can have a negative effect on your metabolism as well. As testosterone is the primary anabolic, or muscle-building hormone, a decrease in your testosterone levels will cause not only your ability to build muscle to decrease, but your ability to maintain muscle will decrease as well. You can get these fats from fish oils, flax, nuts and seeds.
