Hormone of success

King's HORMONE



Testosterone is called "hormone of success." Men with high testosterone levels tend to take the initiative in their hands, bend the will of others. They have strongly voiced their opinions and anger, very vigorous and more successful.


Professor James Debbs, a psychologist at the University of Georgia (USA), 5000 conducted a study of veterans of the Vietnam War and found that the desire for fame at any cost is typical for men with high testosterone levels, but low levels of education and income. A more successful in this sense, men have found the use of their energy doing something socially acceptable - for example, went on fast machines instead they steal.


The professor also found that representatives of the "extroverted" occupations - actors, footballers and lawyers - testosterone level higher than, say, the church officials. So the almighty hormone testosterone affects virtually every aspect of life.

Will a man a poet or a boxer, a winner or loser, is largely dependent on testosterone.

95% of testosterone is produced in the testes Leydig cells. That's more, sometimes less. The first peak accounted for ... intrauterine development: the 23rd week of future levels of testosterone in boys 5-6 times higher than that of girls, but then decreases testosterone. By this time, almost completed the development of all organs and systems are affected by testosterone.




Bullish EGGS FOR SUPERMAN


About two thousand years ago the Greek physician Pliny recommended for improving sexual function eat the eggs of various animals. This medicine is still popular, for example, in Spain, where the bull eggs are exquisite delicacy. We are glad to disappoint: no matter how much you eat, you will not become sexier. First, the hormone in the testes is very small - by working in them, he quickly spreads through the body. In addition, testosterone from food is broken down in the liver and enters the blood.



Following 35 years of "factory of testosterone, gradually reduces the volume of testosterone and the onset andropauzy (male menopause) turns work. However, there are factors that can influence the amount of the principal male hormone in the body regardless of age.

Denial of meat. The best means of taming the flesh at all times considered a vegetarian diet. It is devoid of cholesterol, without which the hormone can not. Of course, the observance of orthodox posts will not make a man a eunuch, but long veganism reduces the aggressiveness of men, but at the same time, and sexual attraction. In other words, the "meat warms up blood."


Female hormones. Alas, the men literally drowning in a sea of estrogen - female sex hormones. And the meat of animals raised on hormone supplements, as well as enthusiasm for beer, rich in phytoestrogens (plant analogs of female hormones), male power will not add. A soy products, some experts do not recommend eating pregnant: If the unborn child, its development may suffer. A lot of chemicals with similar effects, and the environment - they contain, for example ... plastic and pesticides.


Climate. Here the inhabitants of northern latitudes are not very lucky. The sun's rays stimulate the production of male hormones. Therefore, in the resorts of people and feel sexy splash, but residents of tropical countries considered to be the hottest in love - is raging testosterone.


Alcohol. This poison eggs. At higher levels of alcohol in the blood at the same time decreasing the amount of testosterone. No wonder they say: "Alcohol causes a desire, but do not give the resistance in his performance" (these words belong to Shakespeare). Use the same alcohol in quantities that can cause a hangover, reduces levels of testosterone during 12-20 hours at 20%. And the victims of "degrees" testicles never recovered completely. The liver can still regenerate, the testicles also making plans for revenge, so today's sturdy, fast life behind bars, tomorrow turn to the infirm patients.


Stress. Divorce, unresolved problems, financial losses, unemployment - all this leads to inhibition of testosterone. One study found that noise from aircraft turbines in close proximity to the level of testosterone in the blood of young men is reduced by half!

Serious congestion, prolonged stress, the more depression shorten the age of the active life of men.


Overheated. Prolonged overheating the testicles can make a man sterile for some time.


Cramped. Italian researchers have proven: men wearing elastic synthetic underwear, infertility occurs twice as often. Among those who prefer tight jeans, fruitless and a half times more. And since the production of testosterone and sperm are closely linked together, we can say: "semeyniki" or, in the European manner, "Boxers" - the choice of the true macho.


Infections. Mumps virus (mumps), infectious mononucleosis (glandular inflammation), hepatitis, urethritis and disease, sexually transmitted, can disrupt testosterone production and cause premature start andropauzy.


Operations and some medications can also reduce testosterone.


But to increase production of testosterone is capable of physical activity (especially good running, swimming, golf lessons with an instructor at the gym) and obschestimuliruyuschie tools - ginseng, special dietary supplements, while often the risk of their use outweigh the potential benefits. As for oysters and other aphrodisiac, then the production of testosterone, they, alas, have no effect.

men's health

It is believed that men's health - it is purely urological or andrologic problem, but the question really is much broader.

Testosterone - here is the hormone that makes a man a man. Testosterone in the male body acts on the reproductive organs, prostate, seminal vesicles, epididymis, penis, activates the exchange of fat, protein, cholesterol, trace elements and other controls normal spermatogenesis, stimulates sexual expression and other processes. Testosterone is primarily affects the formation and activation of libido, sexual arousal, as well as the intensity of orgasm. With increasing age, starting from 30 years old, the male testosterone begins to decline. It was at this time, starting with health problems, was not so easy on the beach, the muscles do not want to grow, despite all the efforts in the gym, but it is actively growing belly and wrinkles appear. Lack of testosterone affects almost all organs and systems. This hormone is called "hormone of happiness" for men - a shortage affects not only physical but also mental state men - fell spirits begin bouts of depression and pessimism unmotivated.

What happens: gradually decreasing ability for intellectual thought and criticism, decreases work capacity, physical endurance, decreased sexual activity.

Most men begin to notice symptoms of sexual violation - erectile dysfunction. But more often than men believe that it is a manifestation of man's weakness, or as a possible variant age-related changes. In fact, erectile dysfunction is only the tip of the iceberg. Iceberg called vascular pathology, the problem is connected with violation of the walls of blood vessels not only the penis, but the whole body. Major changes occur in the following systems and organs: cardiovascular, genitourinary, central nervous, musculoskeletal, and skin. Manifestations of coronary heart disease suggests that this initial stage of disorders of vascular circulation in the pelvic organs and the cardiovascular system and other vital blood vessels
