In connection with Dr. Mercola excellent recommendations for increasing tetosterone levels:
1. Consuming more cruciferous vegetables increase the so-called diindolylmethane (DIM) that helps your body eliminate excess estrogen, its harmful effects, reducing the accumulation of fat. Fiber eliminates the toxins that cause you to have excess estrogen.
2. Vitamins A, B, E (along with Vitamin C and zinc) are essential to produce testosterone, and not receiving enough doses of vitamins can lead to lower levels of testosterone. A diet rich in vegetables and nuts is important. Vitamin C, like zinc, reduces cortisol levels by favoring the production of testosterone. In addition, Vitamin C reduces the aromatase enzyme that converts your testosterone to estrogen. Vitamin C, which blocks a protein called HIF-1, which participates in the consumption of glucose by cancerigenoa cells. Vitamin C is necessary for the synthesis of carnitine, which transports fatty acids into the mitochondria to promote long-term exercise. Brazil nuts, rich in selenium, maintain healthy levels of testosterone and serotonin in your body, just like dark chocolate.
3. Alcohol hinders the liver's work to break down estrogen, thus making your estrogen levels increase and your testosterone levels decrease. In addition, alcohol decreases the levels of zinc in your body.
4. In a study done by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Urban Ethology in Vienna, 10 men watched 15 minutes of a film with sexual content and their testosterone increased 100%. Not having a sexual stimulus in a long period of time can reduce your levels of testosterone significantly.
5. Very tight underwear or pants and too hot baths can reduce your testosterone production.
6. Scientific studies claim that intense physical exercise can raise testosterone levels as long as it is practiced regularly. Too much intense exercise can increase cortisol and decrease testosterone. You need to sleep 8-9 hours to allow your body to recover and produce more testosterone.
9. Testosterone levels are about 30% higher in the morning than during the day and this is why you feel more manly in the morning. A loss of erections or little sexual appetite in the mornings can be a sign that low testosterone. While you sleep your body is producing most of the testosterone. A study from the University of Chicago showed that men who slept less than 6 hours had lower testosterone levels than men who slept 8-9 hours. Testosterone levels can be reduced by 40% when you do not get enough sleep.
10. The short intermittent fasting, has been shown to increase testosterone by almost 200 percent or even up to 400 percent. Growth hormone levels increased by 2,000 percent from a 24-hour fast, with the consequent increase in testosterone. Short fasts seem to increase testosterone. Longer fasts are reduced by tetosterone, but their levels shoot up again dramatically when eating again.
11. The liver is so crucial for testosterone levels. When the liver does not work optimally, it affects your testosterone output. That's because the liver has an enzyme that conjugates the 17 beta-hydroxyl group of testosterone. Hepatic diseases reduce tetosterone.
13. Sandalwood essential oil is very effective in balancing testosterone levels in men and women. Sandalwood has actually been used as a natural aphrodisiac. A homemade lotion with other oils is suitable.
14. Low testosterone levels not only cause sexual problems for men; Women can also experience low testosterone levels. Female testosterone levels peak in the mid-20s and then decreases steadily until a woman goes through menopause. After menopause, female testosterone levels fall dramatically, and sexual desire can drop dramatically.
