Singapore's Changi general hospital and a local urologist carried out a study in cooperation, the Lianhe Morning Post reported recently. The researchers asked some middle-aged men to eat natural plant health products made of oats.
Four weeks later, free testosterone levels in these men increased by 27%. The lower the previous testosterone level, the more effective the treatment.
Testosterone levels in adults decline with age, the researchers said. Therefore, some middle-aged and old men are prone to low sexual desire and erectile dysfunction and other symptoms.
Because oats can promote the release of testosterone, long-term use can improve the above symptoms. The research also shows that oats can also help improve women's libido. Especially for menopausal women, oats can be eaten properly.
In particular, the researchers stressed that eating too much oats could damage the testicles and even increase the risk of prostate cancer. Therefore, although oats are used for medicinal purposes, they can only be used in an appropriate amount.
