Many men have raised their "generals' bellies" after the age of 30. This heavy burden not only causes inconvenience in movement, but also gradually makes them feel powerless in bed. Recently, a new study conducted by the New England Institute of Research has shown that a man's waist size is related to his testosterone level.
An article published on the American professional medical information website "Real Age" also pointed out that excess abdominal fat not only damages the cardiovascular system, but also affects sexual function. It is reported that abdominal fat can accumulate around important organs such as the liver, causing blood vessel congestion and affecting the blood supply to reproductive organs. Due to long-term insufficient blood circulation, it becomes extremely difficult for men to maintain an erection for a long time.
Moreover, researchers have found that once your waist circumference exceeds 41 inches (equivalent to 3.1 feet), your body sends a warning signal to you that your testosterone level is low and your sexual ability is under "threat.".
What should I do? The best answer is to lose weight. Experts say that even if you lose only one inch of your waist circumference, it can restore a lot of sexual ability. Therefore, in addition to regularly measuring waist circumference, men should also adhere to:
Take a brisk walk for 30 minutes every day. Research has shown that brisk walking is the best exercise for shedding abdominal fat. Take a brisk walk 3-5 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time, and the weight loss effect will be very significant. However, the interval between the two sessions should not exceed 48 hours, otherwise the fat burning effect of exercise will be greatly weakened.
Lift weights for 10 minutes. Researchers in Finland have found that weight lifting can significantly increase testosterone levels in men. Research from Baylor University in the United States also shows that men have the highest testosterone levels 48 hours after lifting weights. It is recommended to perform 10 minute weight lifting exercises twice a week to strengthen muscle exercises to help you quickly lose your "general belly.".
Ensure adequate sleep. Research has found that dieters who sleep 8.5 hours a day lose twice as much fat as those who sleep 5.5 hours. Those who get enough sleep can consume an additional 114 calories a day and lose an additional 10 kilograms of weight a year.
