What Factors Reduce Testosterone Levels? Let's Talk Lifestyle

Is it possible to simply inject testosterone if its level has dropped? In the BELTA project "In the subject. Health" urologist-andrologist Alexander Batsenko spoke about the level of this hormone and its impact on men 's HEALTH .

- My position is this: we need to do everything in a reasonable way. In nature, animals also have testosterone. And men have always had it.

Perhaps due to environmental changes, unnecessary stress, and the fact that we violate sleep hygiene, reduce or eliminate physical activity, we do not allow ourselves to maintain a normal hormonal background laid down by nature. Because in nature, everything is balanced. If you have animals, you may notice: they eat, drink, run and jump exactly as much as they need to survive. And we live too responsible a life: we try to work a lot, earn money, have a good time. We acceptWe drink ALCOHOL and smoke without realizing that this is gradually damaging our health.

There are studies that have shown that the number one problem is that boys have stopped doing sports. The second is that we are not exposed to the sun enough, and vitamin D induces testosterone production. And the third is poor nutrition . The Mediterranean diet , let's call it that, which has a lot of fish, avocado, broccoli, arugula, the same watermelons and walnuts - it is available, but we exclude these products from our diet, because fast food is more pleasant to eat, tastier. The next factor is that we have stopped explaining to our children that healthy sleep begins after 10-11 pm and lasts 7-8 hours continuously. That is, if we wake up at night, we have disrupted the biological processes that affect the natural production of testosterone. Eliminating the above problems can allow a man to maintain his good testosterone level and keep it further. Because after 30 years, it physiologically decreases by 3-5%, gradually becoming less and less. But there are also men who have excellent testosterone and mood even at 70. They have young children and even young wives. This can be preserved, young people should know about it.

If we are talking abouttherapy , it can take place if a man notices sleep disorders, feels weak and unwell, lacks libido, apathy, and decreases physical activity. Testosterone affects not only male capabilities and sperm quality, but also general health indicators. Because "machoness" is often artificial and consists in the fact that young people only grow beards, but in reality their testosterone is low: they do not want to study, move, develop, or achieve. Everything has moved into external factors of masculinity.
