Low Testosterone Treatment With natural Supplements



Testosterone is a male sex hormone produced in the testicles and it is responsible for the maturity of men's sexual characteristics like growth of the pubic hair, deepening of the voice and sperm production. Though testosterone is considered as male sex organ, it is also produced in female ovaries in smaller quantity which promotes healthy sex life as well as general well being in women. When there is low production of this hormone particularly in men, they start to suffering from several ailments like low sex drive, poor erection, impotence, depression, low self esteem, muscle loss, obesity and some times diabetes and heart problems. In fact, the negative effect of low testosterone levels in both male and female cannot be over emphasized, since it contributes more than 70% general well being of an individual especially to the men. Just like the saying goes, "every identified problem must have solution". Therefore, low testosterone has different treatments available. Some of these treatments could be natural while others are artificial.
The use of artificial treatment in boosting testosterone level is some times recommended by some physicians to their patients. Some of these treatments include testosterone injections and capsules, hormone replacement therapy etc. Though the artificial low testosterone treatment may help restore the testosterone levels, but its side effects could be overwhelming. Some of the side effects are Mood Swing, liver diseases, prostate cancer, acne, baldness, sleep apnea, heart attacks and some times infertility due to increase in red blood cell and a decrease in sperm count.
The natural treatment of low testosterone levels is always more preferable, most recommended and with little or no after effect. Below is some of the ways you can naturally treat low testosterone levels.
• Exercise: although excessive exercise and stress can negatively affect the production of testosterone but exercise itself particularly weight training exercises help retain normal levels of testosterone. Frequent intense exercises within a short period of time assist the pituitary gland to increase the production of testosterone. Some of the exercises recommended for the treatment of low testosterone are; bench press, pull ups, squats, dead lifts etc.
• Healthy diet: eat reasonable quantity of protein to stimulate the hormone glucagon and anabolic responses necessary for sufficient testosterone production. The consumption of more vegetables and fruits, reduced intake of carbohydrate particularly those that are rich in starch and simple sugars to enhance the production of testosterone. Essential fats like those found in monounsaturated fats, flax seed and omega 3 fatty acids found in fish are also recommended for low testosterone treatment.
• Adequate rest and sleep are also necessary for low testosterone treatment.
