So How To Boost Your Testosteron Naturally?

It's no rocket science and I think it speaks for it self. Remember this is not about looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The focus is staying healthy and feeling good.

  • Lose fat

"If you're overweight, shedding the excess pounds may increase your testosterone levels, according to research presented at the Endocrine Society's 2012 meeting. Overweight men are more likely to have low testosterone levels to begin with, so
this is an important trick to increase your body's testosterone production when you need it most"

  • Don't work out for to long
    A 20 minute cardio work out is enough, to boost your testosteron level. And that includes a warming up and cooling down! For more specifics you can read here.

  • Zinc


Your zinc intake must be properly. Of course you have to eat the proper stuf.
No Mac Donals but that's why I said It speaks for itself

  • Strenght training
    Same principal as a cardio work there is no need for hours in the gym.
    Compound excercises are a great way to boost up your testosteron.

  • Reduce stress
    It's easier said then done but try to reduce stress. To keep it short. Stress is testosterone enemy nr 1. Your body under stress releases the stress hormone cortisol. That will decreases the produce of testosterone.

  • Vitamin D
    As you maybe will know sunlight is the best way to optimize your vitamine D level. Here in The Netherlands in the winter it's almost imposible. Then it comes down to proper food or supplements. But in the summer it's a easy way to get your portion of vitamin D.

  • Healthy fats
    Don't get spooked there are healthy fats, for example, fish, coconut oil,peanut butter etc. For more read here.

Nice post, good job. Testosterone is a multi faceted hormone!

To be honest I did something(but what?) that totally messed my post up. It centerd everything:S But the info is the same. Thanks for reading!

Did you write it using markdown? or the editor? If you used markdown and centered a picture with <center_> (i added a _ to the command so you can see it) then you forgot to close it after the image link with a </center_> (again the _ would need removed).

If you did't close the centering, then everything will be centered until you add the command.

Mark down.... everything which I put a *dot before wasn't the plan to be centerd. It's looks not neat like this. Thanks for your reply! Im goint to look for it right away
