As men, we all want to add muscle mass, and the way to easiest do that is increase testosterone. Not only does it help with muscle and bone health, it can also help lower the risk of osteoporosis. However, many men do not know how to raise their testosterone without taking harmful steroids or other drugs. Here are three easy things you could do to increase your testosterone, the natural way.
1. Don’t Only Sleep Long, But Sleep Well
A lot of time, we hear that getting your solid 8 hours a night is extremely important. And while it somewhat is, it is more important to get quality sleep, even if it is short. Getting 5 hours of deep sleep is likely better than getting 8 hours of awful sleep, especially for our testosterone. This is because our testosterone is produced in bulk during our deep sleep and thus if you get more of this deep sleep, you will get higher levels of testosterone.
2. Make Changes in Your Posture
According to a study done at Harvard, the way you stand and how your posture is situated can actually impact your testosterone and stress levels, almost instantly. If you stand and hold “high power poses” as opposed to “low power poses”, you will see some big boosts in testosterone and drops in cortisol, which is responsible for stress. And this can be done in only a few minutes and can give you instant benefits.
3. Take Vitamin-D, or Other Supplementation
Yes, it is possible to boost testosterone with natural supplements, without needing to elect for damaging steroids or other drugs. One that is making news as a “do it all” vitamin is vitamin D, and studies have shown it may actually be a natural test booster as well. In addition to vitamin D, there is a multitude of other natural supplements that can help increase your testosterone levels as well.
