Looking For Better Overall Health?

A good indicator or your health is your sex drive, therefore if you are under 50 and not waking with regular erections there could be an issue.

If your body is in good overall health the more sexual desire you will have too.

Now a good way to boost your health and sexual desire is to increase testosterone levels.

This can be acheived by changing factors of your lifestyle.

Factors such as exercise and diet.

Nutrition

A diet laden with refined, processed sugars and carbohydrates is not good for your body and your testosterone levels.

Likewise, an exercise regime consisting mainly of flicking between the channels on the TV set is not going to help your cause either.

Therefore, you should make a change with your diet and physcial activity.

Foods that are wholesome and packed with nutrients should be your priority, avoid processed foods and ready meals.

Activity

Exercise that consists of resistance training in particular compound exercise that utilize multiple joint movements such as the squat or deadlift stimulate masses of testosterone while also elevating your metabolism for a long duration.

Resisitance training also offers the benefit of increasing bone strength plus mental well being when pheromones are released, in particular seratonin.

Exercise can also reduce stress and stress is a big inhibitor of testosterone levels.

Sleep should also be a big priority, we release growth hormone when we sleep and rest so ensure that you get regular and consistent sleep.

Supplementation

You may also wish to bolster your diet with supplementation of certain vitamins and minerals.

1. D-Aspartic Acid. This is crucial.

D-Aspartate, DAA – D-aspartic acid is one of two forms of the amino acid aspartic acid. The other form is L-aspartate. The benefits of D-AA are specific to it, and do not extend to aspartic acid or L-aspartate. D-AA can be used as a testosterone booster for infertile men, and by athletes as a temporary booster.

D-AA works in the central brain region to cause a release of hormones, such as luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone. Importantly, unlike some pro-hormones and steroids, it does not raise estrogen levels.

A dose of 2000-3000mg is required.

2. D3 – Again great results are to be had from D3.

Vitamin D is a great Testosterone boosting vitamin that must be taken advantage of to trigger further production of Testosterone in your body.

However, there are two types of Vitamin D. There’s calciferol (vitamin D₂) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) – we are only interested in cholecalciferol which is D3; this is the type our skin synthesizes from the sun and becomes a hormone which results in the increases in our testosterone.

Research by the US Library of Medicine has shown that testosterone productions are increased with Vitamin D3 supplementation.

3. Zinc

Zinc – Studies show that this has a link with healthy testosterone production.

4. Magnesium

Magnesium – Research into magnesium supplementation also increased testosterone production in men.

5. B vitamins, in particular B6 and B12.

Vitamin B6 – Vitamin B6 helps testosterone levels by stimulating androgen (a steroid hormone that acts as a precursor for testosterone) receptors in your body, making your testes produce testosterone.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6727359

Vitamin B12 – Studies show that people who are anaemic tend not to have high levels of testosterone because they cannot absorb vitamin B12.

6. Fenugreek

Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum) – It is claimed by researchers that fenugreek works to increase testosterone or androgen levels, which decrease as you age.

7. Oyster

Oyster Powder – Research of this mollusc has shown that is aids your body to increase testosterone.

8. Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 – K2 has been shown to help maintain plasma and testes levels of testosterone.

9. Ginseng

Panex Ginseng – This form of Ginseng is the most highly researched. There’s lots of evidence which suggest cognitive function, mood and immunity is increased. There is evidence for better erections and an increase in testosterone production for infertile men.

10. L-arginine

L-Arginine – This is found in many pre workout supplements or products designed to make you more vascular.

L-Arginine opens up the blood vessels and arteries to assist with blood flow, nothing really to do with testosterone but may assist with any impotency issues that are not helping you attain that hot chick in the gym who is 15 years your junior but only if you have 5g a day!

11. L-carnitine

L-carnitine – Acetyl-L-carnitine helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes.

It is a very popular supplement and widely proven to be active drugs for the therapy of symptoms associated with male aging. Any fat loss tends to be associated with the extra energy provided by this compound which in turn increases exercise.
