If you have heard about intermittent fasting or have heard about the ketogenic diet or have heard about many other factors, you have probably realized that the sex hormones in our organism are increasingly important because we continue learning new benefits related to maintaining high levels of sex hormones throughout time. This information is based on scientific evidence that shows how the quality of life improves with time if we maintain high levels of sex hormones such as Testosterone. So, in this video, you will learn how to increase your testosterone levels naturally simply by following the guidelines that you will see today [Music] The first thing you need to understand with any hormone and with any endogenous production process, meaning that it takes place in our body, not with nutrients such as vitamins or or minerals which have to be necessarily consumed externally, is that the hormones have three steps to be produced correctly.
First, you need raw material. Second, a factory in good conditions to make the adequate production. Third, you need no obstacles for the production and the distribution of the substance in your body.
We will discuss all of them. To begin with, for the production, you need a good quantity of raw material. The raw material for sex hormones will be the cholesterol, hence one of the things you will need beforehand is to consume a large amount of healthy fats.
Healthy fats can be found in a wide variety foods like fish, avocado, in raw oils, especially in raw olive oil, obviously not cooked. Do not heat oils that are not capable of being heated without producing toxic byproducts. You can also eat nuts, seeds, etc.
So, these different sources of nutrients, sources of healthy fats will be essential for the production of a good quantity of sex hormones, both for men or women as we have already discussed that it is important to keep adequate testosterone levels for both sexes. This is not simply a matter of masculine hormones, it is also important that you know that a good level of testosterone goes hand in hand with a good level of growth hormone which will also be key for growing old without symptoms and without a loss of muscle mass. The second factor is that you have in good conditions the production factory, in this case, your liver so the first thing I would recommend is doing a liver cleanse in order to ensure your liver is in in good conditions, eliminating toxins.
Another factor is having your factory in good conditions but not having the production stimulus. The production stimulus for the testosterone will be the sexual activity, also physical exercise, as well as sunlight exposure. These factors, mainly the physical strength exercises and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) will be key for good production of testosterone.
Often, when people have difficulties to lose weight, I recommend strength exercises or HIIT, which can be done in a very simple way, However, the objective is not to burn calories and consequently lose weight. The objective is to change your metabolism by increasing your testosterone and growth hormone levels. Also, it is important that you understand that the production of sex and growth hormones might be not adequate because there can be many obstacles to its production.
In the case of the testosterone and also the feminine sex hormones, the most important obstacle will be stress. High cortisol will always generate a reduction in the testosterone levels and will reduce other values such as the progesterone in women and growth hormone too. Therefore, if you have not watched my video on how to reduce cortisol, I will leave the link in the description so that you can carry out extremely simple techniques to reduce your cortisol because they will have a massive effect, considering the increment in sex hormones that they will help you obtain, specifically of testosterone and also of progesterone.
Moreover, surprisingly, one of the most important factors to reduce cortisol to increase testosterone is good quality of sleep. It is not necessarily about an amount of hours, it is mainly about obtaining good sleep quality and about obtaining good levels of vitamin D. Mistakenly, oftentimes vitamin D is associated with vast sunlight exposure, which on the one hand, is correct since it activates vitamin D but we need the precursor, in this case vitamin D3, in order to activate it with with the sunlight into vitamin D4.
If I am exposed to sunlight but have a deficit of vitamin D3, you will realize that it is not enough to activate. On the other hand, you can have this skin color (very pale) and at the same time have good levels of vitamin D without a problem. All these tools are very simple tools that I can use to increase my testosterone level.
And do not forget that one of the easiest tools to maintain to increase the level of testosterone and to increase the somatotropin or growth hormone that will be essential for a good quality of life at an advanced age is intermittent fasting because after 12 hours of fasting it generates an elevation of the somatotropin and an elevation of the testosterone. These tools are super easy to implement. Put them into practice, check them yourself; if you want, measure the testosterone before and after to realize that they are actually working.
And above all, do not ingest cereals nor dairy products, since they disrupt the production of testosterone.
