Okay, it is time to sit down and talk about your testosterone levels. It is time to make sure you take it seriously. These 3 things are some of the most important factors that affect your testosterone levels, whether it is in a good way, or a bad one. So you better make sure you got them in check. These are 3 natural ways to boost your testosterone.  

1. Exercise and Lift Weights

This is one of the main factors. Exercise is not only one of the best ways to prevent many lifestyle-related diseases. It can also boost your testosterone.

You need to move. You need to exercise, and you need to lift weights. It is the best type of exercise for increased testosterone levels in both short and long term. 

Studies prove it. It is non-negotiable.

2. Eat Protein, Fat and Carbs

Your nutrition has a major impact on your testosterone levels. 

You need to make sure you are on a healthy caloric intake, consuming plenty of protein, carbs, and fats.

You need to consume enough of everything, basing your nutrition in whole foods, avoiding highly processed products as much as possible. 

As for macronutrient proportions, you can start by 25 % fats, 55 % carbs and 45 % protein. 

3. Minimize Stress and Cortisol Levels.

Research is always highlighting the dangers of long-term stress, which can elevate levels of the hormone cortisol and, hence, decrease testosterone levels. 

Unnatural elevations in cortisol can quickly reduce testosterone. These hormones work in a seesaw-like manner: as one goes up, the other comes down.

Stress and high cortisol can also increase food intake, weight gain and the storage of harmful body fat around your organs. In turn, these changes may negatively impact your testosterone levels and overall health.
