Every man wants to be able to increase his testosterone just a little bit.
I mean, why wouldn’t we all?
Never have I met a man who wants to DECREASE his testosterone, though I am sure there are a few.
But in general, men want to know how it’s possible to increase their testosterone levels. And even better if we can do this naturally.
And by simply making a few small adjustments, you too can increase the levels of testosterone found in your body.
All naturally!
10 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally
Now before I go into the ways we can get our testosterone levels up, let me quickly break down why it’s important to have a good level of testosterone, and how it’s good for us men.
We all know that testosterone and being strong with a few muscles are linked, but there are many more benefits that come from having healthy testosterone levels.
Some of the benefits include:
Boosts energy levels
Improves bone density
Improves stamina and overall strength
Healthy sexual drive
Can increase confidence
Leads to a happier and more satisfied life
If you are interested in increasing your testosterone levels in a healthy and natural way, then the 10 ways to do so below will be helpful!
These tips are simple, and can be applied to everyday life.
There’s never any harm for us men to change up our lives in a natural way that can impact our overall health positively.
So let’s get started!
1: Do HIIT Workouts Or Lift Heavy Things
Doing high intensity workouts such as this one, or lifting heavy weights, will help you increase your testosterone levels.
A regular workout doesn’t help your testosterone levels as much as a highly intense one.
We love doing short, high intensity workouts.
I won’t ever spend more than 20 minutes on a full workout, so HIIT is really great for me.
2: Get More Sunshine
If you don’t get out in the sun a lot, then maybe you should start!
Getting in sufficient vitamin D is important for us men.
Not just to get a lovely tan, but also for all the health benefits that vitamin D has.
By getting in some direct sunlight on a daily basis, we improve our overall level of happiness. And it is also a natural way to boost testosterone.
A good way to do this is to take up outdoor hobbies such as hiking, camping, surfing etc. I personally try and exercise outside as much as possible.
3: Consume Healthy Fats
Consuming healthy fats assists your body in producing testosterone.
Now the emphasis here is on healthy fats, not just fats in general!
You need to make sure that your diet consists of about 20-25% healthy fats.
Below are a few examples of healthy fats we should be eating:
Olive oil
Avocados
Coconut oil
Cashew nuts
Walnuts
Almonds
Flaxseeds
Dark chocolate
Fatty fish
Pistachios
4: Reduce Sugar Consumption
Testosterone levels are depleted after you eat sugar.
This is because sugar causes an increase in your body’s insulin level. And when your body has a higher level of insulin, then testosterone tends to go the other way.
Not only is reducing sugar good for naturally boosting testosterone, but it’s also good for our general state of health!
5: Eat More Eggs
Increasing the amount of eggs you eat is a good way to increase your overall level of testosterone.
Eggs are one of the top foods that can boost testosreone. They contain a good cholesterol which helps build up testosterone.
6: Sleep Is Very Important
Sleep is one of, if not the most important aspect when it comes to living a healthy life.
Without it we simply would not be able to function, yet so many people don’t get enough sleep.
The time where your body repairs itself is when you are asleep. This is where your body produces the most testosterone, hence why it plays an important role in increasing testosterone levels.
7: Reduce Consumption Of Alcohol
Now you don’t need to completely cut out the booze.
But reducing it by some margin will definitely help increase your testosterone levels.
Consuming high levels of alcohol on a regular basis can increase your estrogen level. And will stop your body producing sufficient levels of testosterone.
You’ll feel a lot better!
8: Avoid Overtraining
Avoid overtraining your body, as this will actually reduce your chances of increasing testosterone levels.
Being able to detect whether you are overtrained or not is quite tricky.
My best bit of basic advice is to simply make sure you get enough rest in between workouts.
Remember that your muscles take about 48 hours to recover completely, so bare this in mind when planning out your weekly workouts.
9: Consume More Zinc
Zinc is a mineral which is really important in the production of testosterone.
Research has shown that by not eating enough zinc, your body will decrease its testosterone levels.
Foods which are rich in zinc include:
Most meats, especially beef
Fish
Cheese
Milk
Yoghurt
Beans
10: Add More Cabbage To Your Diet
Cabbage contains a photochemical known as IC3 which helps with increasing the levels of testosterone.
If you aren’t eating a lot of cabbage, then you better start!
It’s an easy vegetable to incorporate into your daily diet.
Final Thoughts
Increasing your testosterone naturally doesn’t mean having to take additional supplements.
By making a few lifestyle changes, you too can get your testosterone levels up!
