I have already written many times that testosterone is one of the most important hormones in the male body.
Many patients come to me whose testosterone levels are lower than they should. It's not good at all, so one of the goals of treatment is to restore normal testosterone levels.
Quite often, a man cannot take and prescribe testosterone replacement therapy. One of the most important contraindications to this is plans for childbirth. If a man wants to conceive a child, then he categorically cannot enter testosterone from the outside.
There are other contraindications as well.
But you can't make a diagnosis and leave a person without help?
Fortunately, there are many reliable clinical studies that support It is possible to increase testosterone levels without medication.
These are the miraculous remedies, and you know them:
- physical activity, mainly aerobic (walking, running, dancing)
- low-calorie and high-protein diet (limitations in patients with kidney disease). But please do not confuse it with the keto or the Kremlin diet, which are high in fat.
- observance of circadian rhythms and a sufficient amount of sleep, and it is at night. I recommend going to bed no later than 23 pm, and better and earlier. For women who look at every wrinkle with horror, I would recommend going to bed even earlier.
- for very high body weight - bariatric surgery, in other words, a decrease in the volume of the stomach through surgery. This is, of course, the last resort when all others fail. But I can tell you from the experience of my patients - you can return to normal weight without mutilation. I lost weight people weighing 220 kg.
There are no dietary supplements in this list, since there is no reliable information that they somehow affect the production of testosterone. Supplements are a good thing, but for another. Someday I will write)
To be continued about testosterone follows.
