๐งฌ How Couscous, cooked Affects Your Health
Testosterone 2% DV
Zinc (undefined% DV) supports testosterone production. It's a cofactor for 5ฮฑ-reductase and inhibits aromatase.
Cortisol & Stress 2% DV
Magnesium (undefined% DV) calms the nervous system. It blocks NMDA receptors and reduces stress-induced cortisol spikes.
Cortisol 3% DV
Vitamin B6 (undefined% DV) helps produce serotonin and GABA โ calming neurotransmitters that counter cortisol.
Thyroid 50% DV
Selenium (undefined% DV) converts T4 to active T3. Essential for thyroid function.
Hypothyroid
selenium. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4โT3 conversion.
Testosterone Low
selenium. Zinc for 5ฮฑ-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Couscous, cooked affect hormones?
Yes โ Couscous, cooked is rich in selenium (50% DV), which Required for T4โT3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production.
Does Couscous, cooked contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains โ bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin โ reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates โ the net effect is still positive.
