***LOW TEST? ARE YOU A BETA MALE?*** It's no revelation to most that the average testosterone of men has been lowering with each passing decade. A lot of this can be attributed to food choice and food production, our food has less of the vital vitamins and minerals needed to fuel a healthy hormone balance. Besides the obvious social disadvantages of looking and acting like a loser due to being out of balance with your masculinity, there are significant health issues observed in those with low test. -Diabetes -Early Arthritis -Obesity and obesity-related diseases (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321564) In saying that, it is possible to counteract some of this hormonal degradation by supplementation of the minerals that 'most' men are now deficient in. **Power of the Sun**
We often see those that spend the most time outside as the strongest and most attractive in society, these aesthetic benefits of athletes, surfers and beach bums aren't just attributed to their physical activity and tan. But also an increase in testosterone over the average male. ***SUN YOUR BALLS*** Vitamin D - Sunlight or Supplementation -Deficiency in Vitamin D can increase the aromatization effect of testosterone into estrogen -Almost 80% of the population likely deficient in Vit D -Study using Vitamin D supplementation over a year found free testosterone levels increased by 25% total and bioactive testosterone also increased -Vitamin D helps the body to absorb other important minerals which also contribute to natural testosterone production e.g Magnesium -The best source of vitamin D is sunlight, most people in the West spend most of their time inside a home/workplace or a vehicle, contributing to their deficiency in Vit D. -Sunlight exposure to genitalia is found to have a much larger %increase of total testosterone levels as compared to torso. https://anabolicmen.com/vitamin-d-testosterone/ https://alphawolfnutrition.com/vitamin-d-testosterone/ **Magnesium - Supplementation/ Food** -Study has shown men who take Mag supplement and exercise see a larger total free testosterone increase over men who don't supplement and exercise or do supplement but don't exercise. -70% of the population not getting high enough magnesium intake. -Magnesium inhibits SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin) leaving more testosterone free and bio-available. -Foods high in magnesium include: Avocado, Tuna, Almonds, Bananas, Spinach https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/foods-high-in-magnesium.php -https://www.menprovement.com/magnesium-and-testosterone/ **Zinc - Supplementation/ Food** -In studies Zinc deficiencies have been shown to increase estrogen by over 50% -Zinc lowers the Aromatization of testosterone into estrogen. -Foods high in zinc: Oysters! Red meat (Kangaroo is very good here) http://healthycrow.com/zinc-testosterone ***DON'T BE A COOMER!***
We've seen the memes, we know the guilty feeling after finishing, sitting hunched over your computer in a dark room. There is no doubt cooming is horrible for your soul, but did you also know it can mean releasing vital minerals essential for optimal hormonal balance? **Semen Retention/ No Masturbation** -During male orgasm the brain releases a dopamine and endorphin pulse as high as a dose of heroin, a dopamine spike like that (or several) lowers dopamine receptor sensitivity -To achieve orgasm your brain has to dump Serotonin -After orgasm, you get a long-lasting spike of Prolactin This high prolactin inhibits dopamine, testosterone and LH -Serotonin and Dopamine together are responsible for impulsivity, "aggression" and dominance -Orgasm also reduces androgen receptor density in the brain -High amounts of zinc, selenium and copper are lost each jizz Directly leading to low test (zinc), low t4 (selenium) and neurodegeneration (copper) -Masturbation lowers testosterone utilization https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alonso_Fernandez-Guasti/publication/6536830_Relationship_between_Sexual_Satiety_and_Brain_Androgen_Receptors/links/54b6c2970cf2e68eb27f0321/Relationship-between-Sexual-Satiety-and-Brain-Androgen-Receptors.pdf **Honourable mentions** Boron- increases free testosterone Ashwagandha- lowers cortisol, increasing testosterone
