How do you boost testosterone naturally?

Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone. It is natural for testosterone levels to decline as a person ages, but there are steps that they can take to slow, and perhaps reverse, the process.

Testosterone is vital to a person’s overall health and well-being. Low levels of testosterone can affect body composition unfavorably, and as people age, reduced testosterone levels can also cause weight gain.

Low levels of testosterone also affect sexual function, causing reduced sex drive, fewer erections, and infertility.

Natural ways to maintain testosterone

Staying active may help to boost testosterone levels.

According to a recent study of 9,054 men aged between 19 and 39 who were of a healthy weight, normal testosterone levels range from between 264 and 916 nanograms per deciliters (ng/dL).

Drug companies promote products that are supposed to increase testosterone, and while these might help some people, they may also slow down the body’s ability to naturally produce testosterone.

Also, these medications are not without risks.

A 2016 study noted that the benefits and safety of long-term use of testosterone replacement products are not known.

The best way to improve testosterone levels is by adopting some lifestyle habits that can improve overall health and well-being.

1. Getting enough sleep

Lack of sleep can adversely affect the levels of hormones and chemicals that the body needs to function correctly, including testosterone.

One study from the University of Chicago found that testosterone levels can drop in men who do not get enough sleep.

Ten healthy men aged around 24 years old spent 1 week sleeping for 8 hours per night at home, they then spent the next 11 nights in a lab. They slept for 10 hours per night for 3 nights, followed by 8 nights of restricted sleep, when they slept for only 5 hours. Doctors checked their blood every 15 to 30 minutes during the last night that they slept 10 hours, as well as on the sleep-restricted session.

The researchers found that after only 1 week of restricted sleep, daytime testosterone levels dropped by up to 15 percent. By contrast, normal aging sees testosterone decreases of just 1 to 2 percent per year.

Making sleep a priority may help maintain testosterone levels. People should aim to sleep at least 7 to 8 hours each night. Anyone having problems getting good quality sleep on a regular basis should talk to their doctor.
