Hey gentalmen,
I just posted this but I think it may have posted somewhere else… first congrats on making a diet change… your the only one that can truly take care of your health and thats though eating habits, exercise, and mainly stress.
You can look at studies but they biggest indicator of overall health is the Social Economoic Status you fall into… basically the richer you are the better your health… of course if you have more money you can afford to eat better and probably sleep more. But the biggest thing they found was people of lower Social Economic Status generally have higher circulating levels of cortisol. Cortisol is basically they hormone that is released during stress full times.
So the reality is Stress levels may play the most important role in your overall health.
Finally to what your asking about Maca it increases volume. So does L arginine (amino acid) Its been a while but if I remember correctly arginine is used to either produce sperm or it helps produce the clearer liquid which is basically sperm food. L argine is also a vasodilator and acts very similar to viagra.
Another great one you should try to increase HGH levels is by taking 3-5 grams of Glutamine (ammino acid) first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Glutamine is also used in various locations for your immune system.. thus it boosts you immune system. Do a bit of research and you will find the studies.
Try not to eat high sugar meals cause you will release alot insulin which will lower the levels of HGH produced by the pars distalis (anterior pituatary) My spelling sucks!!!
Cortisol levels and HGH go hand in hand so to optomize HGH you need to keep your cortisol levels low… so keep your stress low. This why people with high cortisol levels are in the poorest health. This is why you hear so much rave about HGH being like the fountain of youth because it dose alot of repair work for your body thus keeping your body in good functioning order.
To be honest there is tons of ways to manipulate all of the levels of hormones in your body. Testosterone and HGH can be increased by going to sleep on a relatively empty stomach. It would help to take Zinc and Magnessium prior to sleeping as well. Its been awhile since I had to look at any of this stuff.
Another one for increasing testosterone that is very unknown is the levels of fats in your diet. Fat is not your enemy… Fats from animals is not the greatest cause of the hormones, toxicities are stored in fats of the animals you eat, and they are high in Omega 6 which leads to the inflammation cascade (which is why so many americans have auto immune type of disorders)
Anything ending in “itis” means inflammation. arthritis, bronchitis, etc.
So animal fats are kinda bad for these reasons… the really bad fats are anything from trans fats which are or have been banned. Due to the structure they stack into the cell membrane in a fashion that changes the permibility. Im pretty sure its believed this can also lead to atheroscelorsis (heart disease, Mycardial infarction, heart attack, stroke, all basically the same thing)
Having said that… Fats are still not bad. you just have choose the right ones… Okay now for why eating a high fat diet increases T levels… all of the hormones are created from fats in essence (its actually cholestrol that is used) and they always say watch your cholestrol levels.
So if you know about mass action or lachatellers principles (dam spelling again), it basically implies that things will always go towards equillibrium.
So by putting larger amounts of fat into your diet, you will basically be providing your body with a larger supply to make hormones. It will in essence change the gradient thus pushing your body to use more as testosterone.
I have seen a few studies on this where they measured peoples fat intake and the resulting hormone levels and they people with a higher fat diet did have higher T levels. Again a bit of research and you should find the studies.
Whats sad is that they do a piss poor job teaching anything about nutrition or health in schools… yet everyone has a body and they need to take care of it, so they need the knowlege to do so.
But the medical field is making a fucking killing on peoples ignorance ( not an insult I use this to say the general public dosen’t know anything about their bodies) Most medical doctors no zip about nutrition
Each year we spend more and more on are health yet the average american has never been more diseased… the diabetics and the obese are going to absolutely destroy the health care system. (not their fault completely… they are not informed and the reality is are lower brain is the same as animals and we love sweets so if you put nothing but sweet sugary things on the grocery store shelfs Im going to f’n gorge myself on them cause thats what we would do in nature.
Same thing with porn… its not that we are porn junkies or bad people… but the human thinks about sex all day long.. its the animal instict that is necessary to insure are survival… so of course we can’t help but look at porn… its like a fuckin trap.
Basically what is occuring is the powers that be are using are natural animal instincts and tendincies (spelling) against us. I mean if you give me the option to be lazy and eat high sugar high fat foods and have sex all day I will be the first one to sign up.
The problem is they are using these to make us fat, unknowledgeable, and lazy. With all of the free hand outs, and promisies that are health can be taken care of by the medical community.
Sorry about the long rant… its something im passionate about and know a bit about.
I hope some of this helps.
