Tips for Men

FITNESS TIPS JUST FOR MEN

19. Rise early, raise testosterone naturally.

Researchers from the University of California/San Diego School of Medicine found that early-morning light raised levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) by 70%. LH is involved in the production of testosterone, a hormone which can help men to build muscle, cut fat, and raise mood.

20. Clear bad estrogens.

Men need estrogen, typically known as the women's hormone, but men need to avoid "estrogen dominance," which can cause weight gain, fat accumulation, and fatigue. Achieve a balanced ratio of testosterone to estrogen to di-hydrotestosterone.

Estrogen-clearing exercises:

Exercise 15 minutes or more per day with resistance training. Work out with little or no rest between sets, employing sufficient repetitions to get a training effect for your heart and lungs.

21. Ensure adequate protein intake from quality foods.

Don't forget to consume protease enzymes to help you absorb the protein you ingest. These enzymes are available by consuming plentiful quantities of raw vegetables and fruits.

22. Sports performance supplements

Sports performance supplements such as DIM., Indol-3 Carbinol, Chrysin, Calcium D-Glucarate are designed to clear excess estrogens from male bodies.

23. Out of sight, out of mind.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the prostate, is common in aging men. Its most bothersome manifestation is having increased nighttime awakenings to go to the bathroom. Men over the age of 40 should see their doctor to have regular prostate exams and prostate specific antigen (PSA) screenings. Prostate exercise and massage will help to strengthen the organ as well.
