How To Raise Your Testosterone Level

By Scott Roberts, 23 Mar 13:49

Testosterone Testosterone levels can have a direct impact on your health and the quality of your life. Testosterone increases will enhance your sex drive and muscle size. Here are some recommendations to raise your testosterone levels:

Lose Fat: If you are too fat then your testosterone level will be naturally low.

Have More Sex: Sex triggers your body to produce more testosterone. When you get aroused you are signaling your sex organs to perform so they start taking action to follow that order. This is great news. Inform your partner/s to step up the action. The hotter that better.

Lose Weight Slowly: If your body goes into starvation mode you may slow the production of storage of testosterone.

Gain more Muscle: Bodybuilders use compound exercises, exercises that use more than one muscle group, to accelerate muscle building. Free weights and squats increase this process.

Higher weight less Reps: This is not proven yet. Some Finnish study claims less reps and higher weights increases the production of testosterone. Need citation here.

Three’s a Charm: You need to do enough work to trigger a testosterone response but not too much to cause too much fatigue.

Proper Rest: Increasing your workout will fatigue you so you need to counter that with adequate sleep and power naps.

Monounsaturated Fat: Research has found that men who ate diets rich in monounsaturated fat — the kind found in peanuts — had the highest testosterone levels. Try not to eat too much fat but remember that the fat in any kind of nuts will push up your testosterone level.

Go on the Wagon: Research indicates (need citation) the alcohol use lowers testosterone levels. This is bad news since I love a great martini. Maybe moderation is the key here. Like is too short to give up all our vices?

5-6 Smaller Meals per Day: The best way to fuel your body throughout the day is not the normal “3 Squares” but smaller meals with a good balance of low fat protein and complex carbs.
