Naturally boost your testosterone levels
Why do we need testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive tissues, such as the testes and prostate gland, and the promotion of secondary sexual characteristics, such as muscle mass and bone density. It also has effects on cognition and mood, energy and drive, and is essential for sperm production and overall sexual health in men. Testosterone is also present, though in smaller amounts, in females and plays a role in regulating their reproductive function and bone density.
How to naturally boost your testosterone levels?
Step 1
Eat A Low Glycaemic Antioxidant Rich Diet: Low in carbohydrates, high in fibre. Simplest way to describe it is low glycaemic Mediterranean diet.
Step 2
High-Intensity / Short-Duration Training (i.e “High Intensity Interval Training” or “Burst Exercise”) produces an optimal hormone response. It is best to do 10 minutes of high intensity exercise each day than 1 hour twice a week. Consistency rather than perseverance. A single bout of intense resistance exercise performed. to exhaustion increases total testosterone.
Step 3
Deep, restful sleep is a major key to testosterone
Men who slept less than five hours a night for one week had significantly lower levels of testosterone than when they had a full night's sleep. JAMA 2011
What results can you expect and when?
If you comply with the low carbs Mediterranean diet and the daily high intensity training of just 10 minutes, as well as improve your sleep, you can expect to double your natural levels of testosterone within just 30 days.
