Testosterone (male sex hormone) regulates libido, bone mass, muscle strength, and more. It even influences sleep, mood, and sexual function. Women produce it too, albeit less. Here are natural tips to increase the hormone levels.
7-9 hours of sleep is linked to higher testosterone levels. Poor sleep lowers the testosterone levels, affecting sperm production.
Foods rich in protein and zinc like eggs, fish, nuts beans and pomegranate help to maintain healthy levels of testosterone. Limit the consumption of alcohol and processed foods.
Engaging in regular exercise, whether weightlifting or aerobic workouts like brisk walking, jogging, or swimming, can help to boost the testosterone levels.
Long term stress elevates the cortisol hormone, lowering testosterone and sperm production. Manage stress with sleep, diet, yoga, and meditation for better testosterone levels.
Lower vitamin D levels reduce testosterone, risking infertility. Sun exposure maintains vitamin D, vital for testosterone production.
