Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Luo Yong
There are various methods to increase testosterone levels, primarily including the following:
1. Exercise: Aerobic exercise and resistance training, particularly high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and weight training performed regularly, can significantly boost testosterone levels. These exercises stimulate muscle growth, thereby promoting testosterone production.
2. Dietary adjustments: The diet should include sufficient protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. Deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as zinc and vitamin D, may be associated with low testosterone levels.
3. Adequate sleep: Sleep is a crucial period for bodily recovery and testosterone synthesis. Ensuring sufficient high-quality sleep each night helps regulate hormonal balance and maintain optimal testosterone levels.
4. Medication: If testosterone levels are significantly low, medication may be used under a doctor's supervision. Commonly prescribed medications include testosterone propionate tablets, methyltestosterone tablets, and oxandrolone tablets. However, it is important to note that these medications may have side effects and potential for dependency, so they should only be used as directed by a physician.
