In this article, we'll discuss simple but significant steps you can take to boost testosterone naturally. First, we'll review alcoholic beverages and their impacts on testosterone. Then, we will review why nutrition timing plays such an important role in keeping testosterone levels at their peak.
In order to boost testosterone naturally, you're going to have to reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol is a suppressant of testosterone and can sap your energy. After 3 or more drinks, you start to feel sluggish and tired - the opposite of what you feel when your testosterone is revving high.
That same sluggish feeling becomes almost permanent when you consistently overindulge in alcohol. You'll often notice that men that drink too much too often have heavy, dense beer bellies and sport stick arms and thin legs. These are signs of reduced testosterone.
A man's beer belly leaches toxins into the body constantly. These toxins suppress testosterone and have estrogenic qualities (estrogen is to females what testosterone is to males). To get started, reduce your alcohol consumption to 2 drinks or less a night. Try to go a few nights a week without drinking at all.
You may want to replace an alcoholic beverage with something healthier for you such as an all natural soda like Diet Hansen's or Zevia. I find I can trick my system by giving it something sweet. Replacing my alcoholic beverages with a substitute drink makes it easier to keep my alcohol consumption in check.
Now let's review diet and nutrition. A great way to boost testosterone naturally is to eat 5 small meals a day instead of the typical 3. A lot of men fail to eat breakfast, eat whatever fatty, carby option is around when they eat lunch (usually fast food loaded with fat and starchy fried foods), and have a huge carb-heavy dinner.
Instead, eat a protein focused breakfast at 7 AM, a snack at 10 AM, a lunch of lean meats and vegetables, another snack around 3 PM and dinner around 6 PM. Feel free to add a protein and vegetable only snack around 8 PM. Remember this sage advice; eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
You can boost testosterone naturally by following the above steps. By reducing your alcohol consumption and eating properly throughout the day you have the tools you need to get started and feel more energy immediately!
