NATURAL TESTOSTERONE BOOSTERS
In today’s world it is a lot argued what is the role of testosterone, how to increase T level in the body, what is the healthy ways to do this. The survey found that people due to lifestyle and diet have a reduced secretion of this hormone, which has a very important function on our body. In the following, we will give some helpful information and answer some questions.
Today, the research found that the Japanese age of 100 years had higher levels of testosterone than Americans age of 30 years. With reduced level this hormone leads to chronic fatigue, reduce male libido, lose muscle mass, increase percentage of body fat, decreased bone mass, hair loss, low volume of semen, mood swings. The level of testosterone decreases with age, and over 40% of men, over 45 age, are the group at risk for this problem.
Natural ways to increase T hormone is:
Ejecting dietary sugar. The average American takes 12 teaspoons of sugar a day, and sugar directly reduces the level of T hormone secretion. When you eat foods rich in processed grains and sugar, your blood glucose level becomes elevated. To keep blood sugar levels, the pancreas begins to work overtime to produce insulin, which helps the flow of sugar from the bloodstream into the cells, in order to metabolized for energy. Finally, if your cells are exposed to insulin for a long time, you develop insulin resistance, which causes the occurrence of type II diabetes. Diabetes develops when your body is unable to produce enough testosterone.
Good quality sleep. According to scientific research long enough and timely sleep are the two most important ways to raise the level of T hormone in the blood. Sufficient sleep is 7 hours is recommended, also to be already at 22h going to bed, because sleep quality is the best from 22h to 2h in the morning. Level of the hormone cortisol, which reduces the level of secretion of the hormone T, is placed in the normal frame.
Reduce the level of fat in the body. Weight loss has a predictable and linear relationship with increasing testosterone naturally. When you take into consideration the effect that insulin resistance and poor sleep habits have on testosterone, this makes sense because they are all closely linked to obesity. At the core of this problem is the discharge of processed sugar from the diet, which is associated with insomnia, overweight, diabetes and other negative impacts on the secretion of hormones.
Stress reduction. The problem is when you are chronically stressed, and your body remains stuck in the condition in which the pumping out cortisol (the hormone stress) constantly.
Interval training with a combination of weight training. If you want to naturally increase testosterone and growth hormone, then combine weights with HIIT training (high intensity interval training). Lifting weights 6-12 reps, including large muscle groups will help your body to build more muscle mass. More muscle causes your body to produce more growth hormone. Despite the lifting, interval training with a combination is best for the overall increase growth hormone. It also maintains the level of T hormone. Interval method involves exercise of 90% to 100% of your maximum for short periods, in order to combust stored sugar (glycogen). This helps your body to burn fat in the next 36 hours and replace vital energy stores in your body. In addition to increasing the level of T helps in: lowering heart rate, lower blood pressure, accelerate blood circulation, detoxification by stimulating the lymphatic system.
Increasing the level of T hormone with using protein and healthy fats. Recent studies reveal that high branched chain amino acids (BCAA) significantly increases the level of T hormone and falling hormone cortisol. Recharging can be done in the form of protein shakes or simply increased protein diet (chicken, fish, eggs).
Sunbathing and Vitamin D. Studies show that Vitamin D increases levels of testosterone naturally, in obese men and up to 30%. This is interesting because research shows that vitamin D3 also linked to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Two of the best ways to optimize your vitamin D levels in helping and strengthening the secretion of testosterone are 20 minutes each day sun exposure. This is best done in the morning or afternoon, with exposure to 40% of the parts of the whole body.

TRUTH ABOUT DIET
During many years of experience most of my interlocutors and clients do not know what does diet mean, why is it called that, that does not represent any avoidance or worse taking of food. In the following, we will clear up some misconceptions about diet.
Today’s health and fitness industry is based on the promotion of different diets, incredible innovations and inventions (some of them are justified, but most are not). Of course, profit is the most important thing of all these industries. There are basic guidelines that must be followed in order to achieve its objectives, they have been clearly and very simple. Each of their new correction gets a new name and get confuse us, it’s simple.
What is the truth about diet? It is based on:
Energy balance. It essentially represents the most essential thing that you lose or put on pounds. It represents the input of the amount of energy consumed and the amount thereof. It is expressed in calories Kcal. The point is to spend more calories than you consume and you will lose weight. Or enter more calories than you burn to gain weight (muscle mass or fat deposits).
Macronutrient balance. In case you’re not familiar with the term, a macronutrient dictionary defines as “any of the nutrients nutrition which are required in relatively large amounts: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals such as calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. The main goal is: We want to get more muscle than fat and want to lose fat, not muscle. Pursuant to the order, we must not look at calories as only calories but also where it comes from. We have to look more at our listing of macronutrient. Increased intake of carbohydrates and fats may be part of a child but not protein intake can result in loss of muscle mass which is not good (there is a weakening of the muscles and a very difficult process to build desired muscle musculature). If you have a diet for losing weight daily protein intake should be from 1 g to 1.2 g per kilogram of body weight (this amount will preserve your muscle mass and also contribute to a sufficient intake of calories).
Choice of food. There is no food that is defined as a food for acquiring and losing weight. You can lose whatever fat you eat as long as regulate the input and maintain a state of negative energy balance. However, there are foods that due to its size, calories and macronutrient promote or not losing or gaining weight. Generally speaking, foods that are good for weight loss are small caloric value of a large volume (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat). This type of food has a lot of trace elements that are very important to restrict calories. Food that is not suitable for weight loss contains a high caloric value and small volume (candy, bacon, beverages, oil, butter, full-fat dairy products).
This is the point of each diet, it is important to listen to your body, to be moderate, apply the previous rules, allow yourself to occasionally enjoy your favorite foods that are not wished, of course, reward yourself if you followed the rules and achieve your target. Diet will be a lifestyle and not occasionally suddenly losing and regaining weight.
