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.

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 accountabl...

|| Misleading Descriptions Of a Woman’s Beauty ||

Beauty is a mental concept Though a lady appears to be gentle and soft, yet she becomes rude, rough and distinctly masculine when she becomes angry. The feminine grace vanishes when she comes under the influence of wrath, indignation, fury and resentment. Have you ever seen women fighting in the streets? Women are more jealous than men. They have more Moha and passion also. They are eight times more passionate than men. Women have more power of endurance. Maya havocs through the imagination of the mind. Woman is not beautiful, but the imagination is beautiful. Sugar is not sweet, but the imagination is sweet. Food is not palatable, but the imagination is palatable. Man is not weak, but the imagination is weak. Understand the nature of Maya and mind and become wise. Curb this imagination of the mind by Vichara or right thinking and rest in Brahman wherein there is neither imagination nor thought. Beauty and ugliness are false imaginations of the mind. ...

Semen Retention

I’ve been reading to Swami Sivananda book The Practice of Brahmacharya and I want to discuss with you one concept that resonated with me "Semen Retention". As a king is no king without a treasury, subjects and an army, as a flower is no flower without fragrance, as a river is no river without water, so also, a man is no man without Brahmacharya (semen retention). Instincts and appetites form a part of all life on earth. Sense impulses and biological urges are common to animal and man alike. Sex is one of the prominent, most important and absolutely essential aspects of human, animal as well as plant life. Sex is an integral part of life—human, animal and plant. While this aspect of life is regulated by nature in plants and by instinct in animals, In man it is left to his common-sense, intelligence and his developed reason to control and regulate the same. The vast and ancient scriptures of the world offer human society specific rule...
