The previous article explains the relationship between levels of testosterone and body fat. It also includes key points about burning fat utilizing this crucial hormone. 

Now, I'm going to jump right into discussing the natural ways to boost your testosterone so that you will use it to your own benefit to burn that excessive belly fat, and even build some additional muscle mass too if that's your goal.

Natural Ways to Boost Your Testosterone 

Increasing your testosterone levels is dependent on changing some aspects of your lifestyle. 

You may need to move a little more if you're always idle, and increase or decrease certain substances getting into your mouth. 

1. Get your needed macronutrients 

Having adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats and carbs is not only essential for the generation of testosterone, but also for producing other hormones that enable the body to function properly. 

All three macronutrients are important, but the healthy fats are one of the crucial building blocks of testostrone. 

You can actually relate the fact that optimal levels of testosterone help burn more body fat to  why a high fat - low carb diet (The keto diet) promotes fat burning. 

Therefore, adopting a keto diet is one of the best ways to increase your testosterone levels. 

2. Have vitamin D 

You can find vitamin D in a variety of foods; and egg yokes are one of the foods that almost everyone has access to. 

Never throw away your egg yokes again, you'll be missing out a whole lot of benifits. 

With this vitamin, it's very rare that you opt for suppliments as there are a lot of vitamin D rich foods. 

Also, you can always have it by letting the sun hit your skin. 

3. Have your minerals 

Menerals in general are very important, but three of them are what you need to increase your testosterone. 

Get your magnesium, potasium and zinc. You can find these menirals especially in green leafy vegetables, nuts, sea food like oysters, fruits, garlic, onion etc. 

Constant stress depletes these menerals; that's why a lot of people are deficient in them. 

In severe cases, supplementation is usually recommended by a medical practitioner. 

4. Lower your stress 

Having a stressful situations quite frequently increases your cortisol levels; a hormone wich directly decrease your testosterone. 

These hormones work in a manner that if one of these goes up, the other goes down. 

Cortisol (or stress hormone) increases your cravings especially for sugary foods and consequently increases your body fat.

Now, if you read my previous Article, you'd know for a fact that higher body fat percentage supresses testosterone production.

5. Have enough rest 

A good night sleep is one of the essentials for the human body to recover and freshen up. 

However, the prescribed eight-hour sleep that we hear nowadays a lot is not totally adequate. 

In fact, if you have more organic food and stay away from canned and processed food, which is basically dead food, you will notice that your body needs less time to rest. 

The reason is that when we eat unhealthy food, combined with not eating it the right way (not enough chewing, gulping, having big meals) your system is overloaded and has a lot of stress to deal with; this is why you need more sleep to recover.

6. Exercise 

Doing physical exercise is one of the best ways to boost your testosterone naturally. 

All types of exercise are good to fulfill that aim; however, resistance training (especially heavy compound movements like the squat and deadlift) and high intensity interval training (HIIT cardio) bring about better results.
