Alabama Men’s Clinic Suggests The Natural Ways That Boost Testosterone Levels
Testosterone is a most essential hormone that supports the formation of the mannish character of a human being, such as a manly voice, muscle gain, growing facial and body hairs, and developing their reproductive organs. As men grow older and reach their mid-30, their testosterone levels in them start dropping while affecting their overall well-being and sexual performance. Although TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) has emerged as an effective solution to alleviate the impact of Low T including ED, Low libido, and other sexual dysfunctions, and add value to the quality of life, Alabama Men’s Clinic also suggests its patients adopt natural ways to boost testosterone in combination for a much better outcome. These natural steps include.
Workouts With High Impact/ Low Impact Weightlifting
Studies have established that people who exercise daily possess higher testosterone levels. After reaching 50s and more, those who undergo regular aerobics such as jogging, and brisk walking, or involve in different household activities are more likely to keep up the desired level of testosterone or minimize its rate of dropping. In addition, depending on their age and as per the guidance of doctors, aged people can increase muscle strength, and bone density with low or high-impact weightlifting.
Intake Of Vitamin D Supplements
Vitamin D works amazingly as a natural testosterone booster. Medical studies reveal that the consumption of 3,000 IU (international unit) of vitamin D3 routinely for a year tends to boost testosterone levels by nearly 25%.
It is worth noting, that the amount of vitamin D as well as calcium diminishes with aging and it leads to lessened bone density to low testosterone levels. Therefore, considering a habit to consume more vitamin D-rich foods and supplements, exposure to the sun (not UV rays) can meet the desired level of vitamin D every day and thus, help increase testosterone levels.
Minimizing Stress And Cortisol
Chronic stress and fatigue escalate the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, thereby resulting in dropping in testosterone. Noteworthy that testosterone and cortisol are the two hormones that work in opposite directions. That means when one rises, another declines.
Importantly increase in cortisol levels increases food consumption while resulting in weight gain and accumulation of fats in the body.
The condition impact negatively on the levels of testosterone while increasing its pace of decline. Alabama Men’s Clinic recommends practicing deep breathing daily as it helps lessen stress, boost concentration power, calm the mind, and thus get quality sleep. This increases energy levels and encourages one’s body to produce a higher amount of testosterone.
Consumption Of Carbohydrates, Fat, And Protein
Daily diet influences hormone levels including testosterone. However, neither pursuing a crash diet plan nor overeating can make anything good for a person to retain or improve testosterone levels. A scientific diet plan suggests:
- Consumption of enough healthy fat such as fish oil, chia seeds, sesame, flaxseeds, and vegetable oils can be highly beneficial to increase testosterone.
- To retain the source of nutrients, adding healthy protein can work great to support weight loss and increase testosterone levels.
- One needs to add carbohydrate-rich food to the diet plan as per the suggested limit to help maximize testosterone levels.
Last but not least the intake of zinc and vitamin B is great to boost the quality of sperm quality by 70%. Zinc contributes a lot to the life of athletes and people with zinc deficiency to boost testosterone.
