Hello Friends!
Welcome to Fit Tuber.
Let us talk about testosterone.
Testosterone is a male hormone which is responsible
for the growth of muscle mass.
It is responsible for the growth of hair on
your body.
It improves sex drive, bone density and strength.
Our body produces testosterone naturally.
But because of poor lifestyle, low test levels
in males is a common problem.
Because of which they find it difficult to
build muscles.
They start to lose out hair at a very early
age and many other problems.
Some people inject testosterone in the form
of drugs.
We must know that once we start doing this,
our body stops producing testosterone naturally.
This is not an ideal condition and it has
a lot of side effects.
So in this video I’m going to share with
you 6 ways by which you can boost your testosterone
naturally.
The number one way by which you can take care
of your testosterone levels is by taking care
of your diet and nutrition.
The foods that we eat impact our hormones
in a positive or a negative way.
Needless to say, one should maintain a balanced
diet.
Specifically talking about testosterone, there
are three ingredients that should be in your
diet on a daily basis.
These are Zinc, Vitamin D and Fats.
Foods which are rich in Zinc are Spinach,
Kidney beans, Flaxseeds, Garlic, Peanuts,
Eggs, Brown rice etc.
Talking about Vitamin D, the best natural
source available to us is Sunlight.
So one can sit in the sun for 15-20 minutes
on a daily basis.
However, the foods rich in Vitamin D are Mushrooms,
Tuna, Salmon, Eggs, Milk etc.
Fats, specially saturated fat, is very helpful
in boosting the testosterone levels.
However, one should keep in mind that the
daily recommended intake of saturated fat is not more
than 20 grams.
Some of the foods which are rich in saturated
fats are Egg yolks, Chicken, Coconut, Paneer
and other dairy products.
If you will include these foods in your diet,
you will see that your test levels will start
increasing.
Second is exercise.
The right type of exercise can have a dramatic
effect on the production of testosterone.
Specially weight training, when done even
3 to 4 times a week can boost your testosterone
levels considerably.
Studies have suggested that the higher the
intensity of workout is, the greater will
the response of testosterone.
So doing short workouts of not more than 45
minutes to 1 hour will least amount of rest
periods in between is very beneficial.
Also, do not miss a leg day.
Legs have the biggest muscles in your body
and training them on a regular basis can boost
your testosterone levels substantially.
So weight training or any form of resistance
training is one of the best ways to increase
the production of testosterone.
Third is sleep.
When it comes to sleep, it is always about
quality and not quantity.
After you wake up in the morning from a good
sound sleep, your test levels are at peak
and slowly they drop by the evening.
So, I would suggest you to have a sound sleep
for about 7 to 8 hours.
In order to have deep sleep, you can do two
things, one is that you maintain sleep timings.
Other is that you stay away from phone, laptop
and other electronic gadgets half an hour
before you sleep.
Believe me, it will help you sleep very easily
and you will have a sound sleep.
This in turn will boost your testosterone
levels rapidly.
Fourth is reduce stress.
When we are stressed out, our body produces
a hormone called cortisol.
Cortisol is inversely proportional to testosterone.
That means the higher the level of cortisol
in the body, the lower will be the testosterone.
Apart from this, there are many disadvantages
of having a high cortisol levels in the body.
So one should make an effort to reduce the
stress levels.
You can workout, meditate or the best way
is to spend sometime doing something that
you really love.
Now, there are 3 things that you should avoid
or keep them in moderation when it comes to
boosting your testosterone levels.
These are alcohol, cigarettes and processed
sugar.
All three effect the body in such a way that
it starts producing less amount of testosterone.
Next is lose weight.
If you are overweight, shedding a few kilos
can increase your testosterone levels.
According to studies, overweight men are more
likely to have low testosterone levels.
So basically, if you follow the points that
we have already discussed, you will be able
to optimise your bodyweight.
So friends, these were some of the best and
the most effective ways to boost your testosterone
levels naturally.
