Testosterone (T)<\/strong> is a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women. Testosterone\u00a0is an integral hormone for men because it helps maintain bone density, contributes to a higher sex drive<\/a>, and helps improve athletic performance. In fact, some male athletes take steroids to dramatically boost testosterone levels, but\u00a0is it\u00a0worth the health risks that come with taking these supplements?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man should monitor his testosterone levels, but only to ensure that his body is functioning optimally. By the time a man reaches his mid 30s, testosterone levels begin to naturally decline. It is common for obese or overweight men to experience testosterone levels that are below average. Fat cells turn testosterone into estrogen, which ultimately lowers one\u2019s T count. When testosterone levels decline, men are more prone to developing depression, erectile dysfunction<\/a>, diabetes, or high blood pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ways to combat the decline of testosterone levels. Out of the methods that we found, these 5 natural options are our favorite\u00a0ways to boost your T count<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average person does not consume enough water to remain sufficiently hydrated. When the body is in a constant state of mild dehydration, testosterone levels will\u00a0decrease as a result. It is beneficial to drink\u00a0about\u00a08-10 8oz glasses of water each day to stay hydrated<\/a>, or half your bodyweight in ounces of water<\/strong>.\u00a0Failing to replenish the body with water\u00a0slows\u00a0the\u00a0hormonal system<\/a>, which ultimately decreases dopamine and testosterone production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Keep Stress Levels Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stress <\/strong>negatively effects the body, plain and simple. Because stress hormones adversely affects\u00a0testosterone production, lowering stress levels via yoga<\/a>, meditation, or Tai Chi\u00a0can help prevent testosterone levels from declining. Men tend to overwork themselves, creating an excess amount of stress hormones in the body. Take at least two hours out of\u00a0each day to do things\u00a0you enjoy,\u00a0be\u00a0they sports, working out, watching movies, painting, dancing, or anything else besides work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Change Your Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start including foods\u00a0that are rich in magnesium<\/a>\u00a0and zinc<\/a><\/strong> in your diet. Not only are these foods\u00a0beneficial for boosting your T count, but they also encourage\u00a0optimal\u00a0male reproductive\u00a0health. If you experience prostate problems or enlarged prostate, zinc<\/a>\u00a0is nutrient you should regularly intake.\u00a0The best\u00a0nutrients\u00a0for\u00a0men<\/a>\u00a0are abundant in foods like avocados, spinach, Brazil nuts, figs, quinoa, bananas, sesame seeds, apricots, and green tea. Additionally, it\u2019s beneficial to avoid testosterone-lowering foods,\u00a0including alcohol, refined carbohydrates, and fast food that is oily and loaded with saturated fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Get Some Shut-Eye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep <\/strong>is the body\u2019s natural way of rebooting. When you are sick, your top priority is to rest\u00a0to avoid overworking the body and\u00a0to ultimately\u00a0recharge the system. It is recommended\u00a0to get about 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Studies have shown that men who sleep less than 7 hours a night have reduced testosterone levels. In fact, it cuts testosterone production by 10-15%! So get some rest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Stay Active<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that testosterone production increases or decreases according to your body\u2019s behavior? If you are inactive and lounge about all day, your brain doesn\u2019t think that it needs to boost muscle and bone mass. Your brain understands that it needs to produce more hormones if you are physically active<\/a>. If you don\u2019t exercise at all, start walking every day for about 20-30 minutes. Lifting weights can help, but make sure you aren\u2019t hurting yourself with improper form.<\/p>\n
