HOW TO BOOST TESTOSTERONE | MEN'S HEALTH |

WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE

Testosterone is a male hormone made primarily in the testicles. Hormones change as we go through the life cycle. What is normal for a 16-year old is not the same for a 60-year-old. 



Although medication for low testosterone ("low T") is being promoted by drug companies, treatment is not as simple as just replacing this hormone. 

A low level is often due to many other factors. It is not a good idea to start testosterone medication too quickly without exploring other ways to raise testosterone first. 

Taking medication can stop your own body from making the hormone. Testosterone medication is also not without risks, many of which are unknown with long-term use.  

HOW TO BOOST TESTOSTERONE LEVEL NATURALLY

MAINTAIN IDEAL BODY WEIGHT:

This is probably the most important thing a man can do. As belly fat increases, there is an increase in activity of the enzyme "aromatase" which converts testosterone in the fat cells to estrogen. 

This reduces testosterone and increases estrogen, which can increase fat deposition in typical female areas (breast, hips, thighs) and risk of prostate cancer. 

With every one-point drop in your body mass index(BMI) your testosterone level will increase by approximately one point. 

AVOID DEVELOPING DIABETES:

Developing diabetes increases the risk of having a total testosterone level of less than what is considered normal. 

Over a 10-year period, the risk for developing abnormally low testosterone levels more than doubles in diabetic individuals.

EXERCISE: 

A combination of aerobic (increase in heart rate) and resistance (weightlifting) training has been found to increase the production of testosterone. 

This also helps prevent the most common diseases that men are most likely to die from, heart disease and cancer.  

SLEEP WELL: 

Most of the body's testosterone is made during deep sleep when a person is in rapid Eye Movement (REM). A disrupted sleep cycle with less time spent in REM has been associated with low testosterone levels.

 SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP A good wife, a worthy jewel, is the materialisation of the Lord’s infinite grace for one who treads the Pravritti Marga. Harmony in every walk of life is a rare gift of the Lord to a couple. Each partner should be to the other a true companion in every sense of the term. Grihastha Ashrama is a safe rung in the ladder of evolution to Godhead. Follow the scriptural laws and enjoy infinite bliss. True union can be established on the spiritual basis. Spiritual love can refer to a love rooted in a spiritual connection that helps us find meaning and purpose in our lives. These spiritual loves can serve different purposes: some are meant to walk with us through life, while others are meant to teach us lessons. Sometimes their purpose isn’t obvious right away; that said, our spirituality can help us better understand our relationships. In fact, our spirituality has a heavy influence on all of our relationships, whether we set aside time for engaging in spiri

The accountability mirror challenge by David Goggins

  The only way to improve yourself is to hold yourself accountable for the choices you made in your life.   This forces you to look at the things you have an influence on and take responsibility for. It frees you from any factors outside of your control. So how does this concept work and how can you apply it to your life? Like a lot of other concepts I discuss on this blog, this one is free of charge as well and very easy to start. This concept by David Goggins is another take on the affirmation exercise. Where you put post-its on the mirror of things that you are grateful for. How to start with David Goggins’s accountability mirror challenge? Stand in front of the mirror and look yourself in the eye for five minutes straight. What is going through your head? What do you think about the person you see in the mirror? Write those things down and make sure you discuss those with yourself later on. Now there are a lot of personal things you can hold yourself accountable for, bu

❤️⏺️ Keeping the love tank full ⏺️❤️

Love is the most important word in the English language and the most confusing. Both secular and religious thinker agree that love plays a central role in life. Love has a prominent role in thousands of books, songs, magazines and movies. We need love before we " fell in love" and we will need it as long as we live . I am convinced that keeping the emotional love tank full is as important to a marriage as maintaining the proper oil level is to an automobile. Running your relationship on empty "love tank" may cost you even more than trying to drive your car without oil. With all the help available from experts, why have so few couples found the secret to keeping love alive??  The answer to this question is people speak different love languages. Most of us grown up learning the language of our parents, siblings, which becomes our primary language. Later we learn additional languages, but with much more efforts. These becomes our secondary langu
