The Generational Decline
This post will not reference a supplement, this is a genuine post about the history of Testosterone and its decline in the past 200 years. This magic serum has been researched ferociously by scientists and bodybuilder guinea pigs. According to Ellis, Das and Buker, male T is responsible for many more things than just building muscle and having sex. As a matter of fact they have a great passage called "Honor States". You want to know the term? I strongly recommend their full article but a quick breakdown of this is simply that males in some nations and states of the world are marginally more aggressive than the rest, and feel the need to prove masculinity to fend off threats and nay sayers. And when their reputation of being this normally strong minded individual is put on the line, they feel violence is a very reasonable and appropriate response. And in certain researched states here in the US, violence is more common due to this circumstantial increase or genetic superiority.
In the previous two decades there has been a recorded significant decline in the male dominant hormone Testosterone. Yes the hormone is as crazy as it sounds, it is responsible for many main functions in the body such as muscle growth, muscle repair, libido, well being, overall health and most importantly it just makes us feel great! So learning of a major decline in this vital element of life was somewhat moving, especially after a simple google search and finding how many people in the US suffer from low T without knowing it. Yes we all feel fine and might laugh some of this off, but the fact remains that our modern processed foods diet affect us in a negative way that either we don't realize genuinely, or are simply unconscious of the nutrients they need over the calories they want. Extensive research has not singled out a leading cause, and might even say that they dont actually know why we have a generational decrease.
Boost Your Male Hormones Naturally
Raising the roof on Testosterone is only effective if its done right, otherwise you could suffer from downstairs shrinkage, permanently decreasing your T from too much synthetic T, or jeopardizing your health by having your muscles grow wrong and tear during a benching session, ouch! Here are some simple steps to effectively make some lifestyle changes
- Zinc
- Healthy Fats (Omega 3,6,9)
- Less body Fat (exercise increases Test. during the workout and stays increased for about 48 hours)
- I personally recommend 8hrs of sleep being a minimum (that's a 3:1 ratio for active and sleeping anything less seems less productive seeing as your body produces many of our hormones during our sleep, and building up our muscles we worked so hard to rip up!)
- Vitamin C (Emergen-C from whole foods in the mornings are better than coffee in my opinion)
- Juice 100% organic fresh locally grown vegetables for the ultimate multi vitamin, and it tastes like heaven on Earth (Because it is! The non organic use pesticides that can hurt your T, even air fresheners use this pesticide in their sprays! Learn more: FreshAndToxic?)
- This may be a very bold suggestion but this has been researched and proven many many times, watch porn before you workout! Yes that's right, after only 15 minutes of watching a pornographic film testosterone has been reported to have increased by 100% its starting level! want to research that further?More Testosterone Info
- Steamy showers remind us of what? Hot girls, and that's how it should stay, overheating your manhood decreases test production significantly.Think star wars "Luke warm I am your father"
