Hormone therapy: This includes the Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), patches, injections or topical gels.
Lifestyle changes: Tweak your lifestyle to include fresh water, air, sunshine, sleep, and exercise…
Eat a healthy diet: Testosterone levels get a boost from zinc, Vitamin D, branch amino acids. Olive oil, which contains monosaturated fatty acids, is a wise choice while cooking food. Vitamin D and zinc-rich foods to include in your diet include salmon, spinach, eggs, nuts, beans, pumpkin and flaxseeds, figs, and cruciferous vegetables.
Maintain an active lifestyle: Regular exercise boosts mood and muscle. A tudy, resistance and strength training boost testosterone levels.
Catch your Zzzs: According to research, getting sleep for as low as 5 hours every day for a week decreased testosterone levels by 15%.
Avoid the devil’s drink: Excessive consumption of alcohol can greatly hamper the healthy functioning of the endocrine glands or the pituitary gland, both linked to testerone production.
Coping Mechanism: Take emotional and moral support from friends, family and support groups and mental health professionals.
