Testosterone is the main male sex hormone and plays a vital role in men's health and well-being.
Therefore, it significantly influences various bodily functions: sexual development, muscle mass, mood, and even cardiovascular health. That said, low testosterone causes several problems in our health, and consequently, in our appearance.
The main problems caused by LOW testosterone are:
• Mental fatigue;
• Muscle and bone loss;
• Drop in libido;
• Erectile dysfunction;
• Premature ejaculation.
On the other hand, HIGH testosterone causes:
• Control your own mind;
• Muscle gain;
• Bone strength.
So, given that, why keep testosterone at low levels when we can easily increase it?
• There are two ways to increase your testosterone, increase testosterone production (Endogenous way) and increase testosterone by putting testosterone directly into your body (Exogenous way)
Endogenous ways:
Eat correctly.
• A nutritious and balanced diet is the way to increase testosterone naturally. A study by researchers at the University of Utah found a positive correlation between testosterone levels and healthy fat intake, as well as keeping weight down and eating fewer calories. Eating enough protein also correlates with overall levels of the hormone, and a controlled intake of carbohydrates to complement cardiovascular and resistance training also has a beneficial effect.
Exercise yourself
• In a 2018 Korean study of men with erectile dysfunction, researchers found that the best methods for increasing testosterone were reducing body fat and improving cardiovascular fitness through aerobic activity. A previous clinical trial by Japanese researchers in 2017 found similar results, with a 12-week aerobic exercise regimen increasing testosterone in overweight men.
Sleep well
• According to a study by the University of Chicago, in the United States, men who sleep less than five hours a night have their testosterone production reduced by around 15%.
Maintain good vitamin D levels
• A growing body of evidence shows strong links between vitamin D levels and circulating testosterone. A 2010 study by researchers at the Medical University of Graz in Austria compared a group taking vitamin D supplements and a placebo group. They found a significant correlation between increased testosterone in those taking vitamin D, while the placebo group remained the same.
Enclomiphene
• Enclomiphene is a SERM for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men. The chemical is capable of doubling, sometimes even tripling your testosterone PRODUCTION, leaving your testosterone extremely high, comparable to the testosterone of an anabolic steroid user, however, with significantly lower muscle gain, as it is an endogenous source.
Exogenous way
• All ways to increase testosterone exogenously are through anabolic steroids, that is, composed of testosterone precursors or derivatives.
