If you read Mojo Multiplier, you’ll see that man boobs are a condition that an increasing number of men are suffering and it’s mainly due to a hormonal imbalance, namely too much oestrogen, that causes them. If you’re overweight, then the chances are you’ll have fat around the chest area, but the more fat you carry, the more oestrogen you’ll have in your body as belly fat contains the enzyme aromatase which converts testosterone to two different forms of oestrogen. Since an attribute of oestrogen is fat storage, the more fat you have, the more you’ll gain. This is unless you look after your body and combine the right foods with a strength training and cardio exercise program! Here, Men’s Health takes a little look at how to to lose man boobs:
There are two reasons why a guy might have man boobs. The first is a medical condition. Clinical gynecomastia—male breast enlargement—can result from a hormonal imbalance or elevated levels of estrogen and lowered levels of testosterone. It’s usually not a serious problem and may go away on its own. However, if you think you have gynecomastia and it continues to persist, you should visit a doctor to find out if medication or surgery will help.
The second reason is excess fat stored in the chest. Sure, you can run out and buy yourself a manssiere, but there might be a better way to get rid of your moobs. BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S., aMen’s Health fitness advisor and CEO of StreamFit.com says you can nip your poofed pecs in the bud with a fat-loss, muscle-building workout. “When it comes to weight loss, you shouldn’t focus just on cardio,” he says. “You need to build muscle through strength training. It ignites your metabolism, which burns calories and accelerates fat loss.”
After 25 testosterone levels start to drop off naturally – which is annoying! It means oestrogen is more free to circulate in your body making fat storage far easier. However, you can actually slow down or completely reverse the effects of lower testosterone levels by combining a decent diet with weight training, exercise – not too much cardio though, that’s harmful to testosterone levels as after a while you start to secrete the stress hormone, cortisol which breaks down muscle tissue. When you break down muscle tissue, you’ll slow your metabolism down and lower testosterone levels.
