Science proven ways to Boost Testosterone

By Dr. Neeraj Mehta

If you want to make more testosterone, you should eat a lot of zinc and vitamin D. Other than that, it is recommended that you do a lot of exercises (preferably weight lifting) and get enough sleep. If you follow these steps, you can keep your testosterone level healthy and your body running smoothly.

We need to pay close attention to how testosterone is handled in our bodies because it is a hormone that both men and women need to stay healthy and strong. Make sure you know what testosterone is and how it can affect the way your body works.

In men, it is a male sex hormone that has an effect on fertility and sex, as well as bone health, muscle mass, and bone health. If a person has certain medical conditions or lifestyle choices, they may not have as much testosterone in their bodies as they used to. As we get older, our testosterone levels drop by 1% to 2% a year, the National Institutes of Health tells us.

Symptoms of low testosterone levels are as follows: If your testosterone levels are low, you might have symptoms like the ones below.

• Lack of libido; forgetfulness on a regular basis; a sense of extreme fatigue
• Depression symptoms like mood swings or signs of depression
• The ability to gain muscle
• There is a noticeable loss of hair on the face, chest, or genital area. Fat is easy to build up.
• It is common for people with insomnia to have trouble sleeping and to have a hard time getting to sleep.
• Unlike other parts of your body, bones are very weak.

There are some medical treatments that can help young men with low testosterone levels. People can also make changes to their diet and lifestyle to help their bodies produce more testosterone.

Between the ages of 19 and 39, 9,054 healthy-weight men took part in a recent study that found that their testosterone levels ranged from 264 to 916 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).

Drug companies sell testosterone-boosting drugs, which may be good for some people, but they may also make the body less able to make testosterone on its own.

They also have their own risks and side effects.

People who get long-term testosterone replacement treatment haven't found it to be good or safe, according to a study in 2016.

In order to raise testosterone levels, the best way to do this is to make some simple lifestyle changes that could improve your overall health and well-being.

1. Enough Sleep: One of the most important things to think about is getting enough sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, your body may not be able to make enough hormones and chemicals that it needs to work properly, like testosterone. According to a study from the University of Chicago, men who don't get enough sleep may have less testosterone in their bodies.

2. Consume a well-balanced diet: In the past, a lot of research has shown that eating the right amount of food is important for maintaining testosterone levels and overall health and well-being. Diets that are mostly made up of whole foods and have a balanced amount of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are the best. It may help the body regulate all hormone levels and keep long-term health if you eat a well-balanced and healthy meal, like a piece of fruit.

3. Stress Reduction: Long-term and chronic stress can be bad for one's health and cause a lot of health problems. There are many ways to deal with stress. Stress raises the amount of the hormone cortisol in the body, which is important for a number of things, like the immune response and the metabolism, but also causes the body to make more of it. Cortisol levels that are too high have a negative effect on the amount of testosterone that is made. In a recent study, the researchers found that men who had stressful encounters might have their testosterone levels change in ways they didn't expect.

4. Staying Active: "Exercise will raise testosterone," says Richard Jadick, D.O., a Piedmont urologist and the author of the book Testosterone: The Science and Practice. Some types of exercise raise testosterone more than others. Because it helps build muscle, exercise has been shown to raise testosterone levels. As a person's muscular mass grows, his or her testosterone levels rise.

People who did resistance training three times a week for a month had higher testosterone levels right after they did the exercises and for the rest of the month. This would seem to show that weightlifting may raise testosterone levels in the body. According to studies, cutting down on rest periods when weightlifting is the best way to get the most out of the exercise.

Resistance training has been shown to help both short-term and long-term T concentrations. Resistance training, like weightlifting, is the best way to raise testosterone in the short and long term. In fact, it has been found to be very good for people who have penises.

5. Reducing Weight: Previously, fat cells were thought to be just places to store things. They now work like other organs, releasing chemicals, sending signals, and having an effect on other parts of your body, including your brain. For example, fat cells produce aromatase, an enzyme that turns testosterone into estrogen, and when testosterone and estrogen are out of balance, body fat levels rise. Even where fat is stored in the body changes. Abdomen obesity is made worse by low testosterone levels, and having a lot of fat in your abdomen is not only ugly but also increases your risk of heart disease.

Testosterone levels seem to go up when you lose weight, according to some people. There are many ways to raise your T levels, but if you're overweight or obese, losing weight may be one of the most effective ways. When you look at the direct effects of fat on testosterone, this is a logical thing to think about.

6. Supplements: Some supplements have been shown to increase testosterone levels.

Vitamin D: If you don't get enough vitamin D from the sun, you may need to take vitamin D supplements. This could help you get enough vitamin D and even raise your testosterone levels, according to a study in the Journal of Hormone and Metabolic Research.

In addition, getting at least 15 minutes of direct sunlight a day may help you keep your vitamin D levels healthy. People who eat salmon and other fish that are rich in vitamin D can also find it in milk and cereal.

RDA for vitamin D in both Canada and the United States is 400 to 800 international units (IU) (International Units)

Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is a type of plant that grows all year long. The roots and fruit of this plant are said to be good for you. The hormone levels of 40–70-year-old males who were overweight and tired were studied in a study in 2019. One group was given a placebo, while the other group was given ashwagandha as a medicine.

DHEA: What makes it is made by the adrenal glands in people, and it is called dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Testosterone levels in mice were found to be lower when DHEA and whole-body vibrations were used together, according to a study that can be found at. DHEA didn't have an effect on testosterone levels, but it did make them go up a little bit more.

Zinc: People who don't get enough zinc may not be able to make enough testosterone. In the male reproductive and endocrine systems, zinc plays an important role in how they work and how they work. A common and safe treatment for male hypogonadism is taking zinc sulfate twice a day for one to four months, then taking a break. This is usually followed by a few weeks of rest.
