Testosterone and Summer
Prepare to hit the beach of Alexandria this winter!!
Just finished reading the Journal of Endocrinology this month and some researched have been conducted about the relationship between testosterone level and times of the year. Specimens of blood have been drawn and studied for a year. The objective of the study is to determined the amount of testosterone hormone in the blood during different times in the year.
Testosterone is a hormone from the androgen group. In mammals, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. Low testosterone levels can impact on a man's libido as well as zap energy levels. It also performs essential functions in both men and women such as maintaining muscle strength and bone density.
Based on the result of the research, the level of testosterone in the blood is increased in the month of August, and drop off in the winter, hitting their lowest levels in March. This indicate that testosterone production is directly proportional to the amount of vitamin D that was obtained by our body. Men who ensure that their body is at least sufficiently supplied with vitamin D are doing good for their testosterone levels and their libido among other things.
However, too much exposure to the sun-ray to obtain vitamin D can also cause you cancer especially skin cancer f you are the one who can lay down on a beach for one whole day without applying any sun block. So, always know and aware of the limit.
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin. That means, you need to obtain it from diet. There a thousands of supplements in the pharmacies nowadays, but please rely on normal food that you consume everyday first. This is because nutrition that you get in your diet is 100% pure and natural without any alteration. However, the nutrition you get in any types of supplement is chemically altered and preserved. The effect will not be immediate but the risk is still there.
So guys, lets hit the beach for some natural induced testosterone this holiday!!!
