Harvard Medical School experts say "physical inactivity and poor diet promote obesity and create poor metabolic health that disrupt sensitive hormone systems that process carbohydrates, fats and proteins: and regulate signaling chemicals that build bone and muscle mass". Testosterone is required for muscle building. Things we do not even think of affect our testosterone levels.
Planning your day and doing things you enjoy lowers your stress level. Stress causes manufacturing of cortisol, a fat storing hormone. Being upbeat and optimistic with a positive attitude will keep the cortisol machine quiet.
Anabolics as defined in the Medical Dictionary are: any of a group of synthetic derivatives of testosterone which are used clinically to promote growth and repair of body tissues in senility, debilitating illness and convalescence. The bodybuilding world uses them for much the same thing.
Estrogen levels rise with the introduction of soy products into the body. This causes a corresponding decrease in testosterone levels. Alcohol also lowers testosterone levels and decreases protein synthesis.
Your level of testosterone has a direct bearing on your ability to gain muscle mass. Testosterone therapy if prescribed by a medical doctor is for men with low testosterone levels. Testosterone decreases with age but when it reaches a level of concern therapy is suggested by doctors. While testosterone declines with age, there are sound practices to help with it's levels. Don't overtrain, stay positive, maintain a healthy bodyfat, lift weights and eat a healthy diet.
Using compound exercises in the gym, e.g. squats, deadlifts, bench press, lunges, dips, rows, pullups, leg presses and standing military presses. These all incorporate multiple muscle groups.
The stress on the muscles from these types of exercises will require the body to adapt to the stress by growing larger. This is what we are looking for when we overload our muscles and then rest them sufficiently.
Testosterone levels naturally decrease as we age so all the more reason to be aware of what we can do to keep levels as high as possible.
Robbie Durand, MA, recommends using olive oil, fish oil capsules and lean red meats to lead to higher testosterone production. The combination of saturated fats and olive oil was found best for raising testosterone.
Harvard Medical School experts say "physical inactivity and poor diet promote obesity and create poor metabolic health that disrupt sensitive hormone systems that process carbohydrates, fats and proteins: and regulate signaling chemicals that build bone and muscle mass". Testosterone is one of those sensitive systems. This leads me to believe you need to be active to maintain good testosterone levels.
