5 Ways To Boost Your Manpower

Mojo and fitness go hand in hand – you can’t argue with that. Try it. See, you can’t. If you’re out of shape, you’ll have low mojo. If you’re in the best shape you can be in, you’ll have maximum mojo. When you’re out of shape, your energy levels and confidence will be low and the chances are, that until you get into shape, you won’t realise how much energy you don’t have. Here are 5 ways to boost your manpower and get your mojo back. Remember the less body fat you carry, the more testosterone you’ll have as body fat contains the enzyme aromatase which converts testosterone into two forms of estrogen. Burn belly fat and your testosterone increases totally naturally. Simples!

1. Uncover Your Abs

As your waist size goes up, your testosterone goes down. In fact, a 4-point increase in your body mass index—about 30 extra pounds on a 5’10” guy—can accelerate your age-related T decline by 10 years. For a diet that’ll help keep your gut in check, try the all-new Men’s Health e-book, The Six-Pack Secret.  You’ll learn how to sculpt rock-solid abs in 4 weeks. It’s the most effecticve muscle-up weight loss program ever.

2. Build Your Biceps

Finnish researchers recently found that men who lifted weights regularly experienced a 49 percent boost in their free testosterone levels. “As you strengthen your muscles, the amount of testosterone your body produces increases,” says David Zava, Ph.D., CEO of ZRT Laboratory. You need to push iron only twice a week to see the benefit.

3. Fill Up On Fat

Trimming lard from your diet can help you stay lean, but eliminating all fat can cause your T levels to plummet. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicinereveals that men who consumed the most fat also had the highest T levels. To protect your heart and preserve your T, eat foods high in monounsaturated fats—food such as fish and nuts.

4. Push Away  From The Bar

Happy hour can wreak havoc on your manly hormones. In a recent Dutch study, men who drank moderate amounts of alcohol daily for 3 weeks experienced a 7 percent decrease in their testosterone levels. Limit your drinking to one or two glasses of beer or wine a night to avoid a drop in T.

5. Stop Stress

Mental or physical stress can quickly depress your T levels. Stress causes cortisol to surge, which “suppresses the body’s ability to make testosterone and utilize it within tissues,” says Zava. Cardio can be a great tension tamer, unless you overdo it. Injuries and  fatigue are signs that your workout is more likely to lower T than raise it.
