8 Easy Ways For Men To Combat Low Testosterone By Blocking Estrogen

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

Testosterone levels in American men are at an all time low. Symptoms of low testosterone are low energy, a decrease in stamina, hair loss and difficulty losing weight. Low "T" is common in men as they age, but is happening early in the last ten years. What many men are unaware of is that high levels of estrogen are usually found when men have "LOW T."

Having strong erections allows a man to feel virile, youthful and maintain a sexually active life well into his golden years. Testosterone is the hormone that causes facial hair, voice to deepen and develop genitalia.

Estrogen is the hormone that causes women to grow breasts, menstruate and have feminine qualities.

High estrogen levels in men comes from high aromatase activity. Aromatase is the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Aromatase is highly concentrated in that fat bulge around your middle. Aromatase activity increases due to age, stress, weight gain, and inflammation. Chronic high levels of estrogen have been linked to cancer,  Type II Diabetes, obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular health.

Block Estrogen With These Foods

A high plant-based diet can reduce estrogen levels in the body. Plants are loaded with phytochemicals which work to block estrogen in the body.

1. Cruciferous Vegetables. A diet rich in cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, rutabaga, turnips, bok choy, kale, and Brussel sprouts will block estrogen from being formed. These vegetables can be cooked some different ways, including roasted, steamed, sauteed or baked. I love to eat all of these vegetables raw for greater nutrient value. 

2. Mushrooms. Shitake, Reishi, button, crimini are all mushrooms that can be eaten raw in salads or sauteed with your rice. Mushrooms block estrogen production and are also a way to boost your immune system. The Chinese have been using mushrooms to heal the body for thousands of years. Cordyceps, Shitake, Turkey Tail and Himematsutake are a blend of powerful mushrooms that increase in value when taken together. There are mushroom compounds in your nutritional supplement store.

3. Green Tea. Green tea has a multitude of benefits from helping you reduce weight, prevent (breast, lung, esophageal, skin, colon and bladder, cancer. Green tea is loaded with catechins more powerful than vitamins, phytochemicals, and antioxidants at the same time. Harvard Health Publications touts the additional benefits of green tea to assist with Rheumatoid Arthritis, reduce bad cholesterol, (LDL) while increasing the good kind (HDL), reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease, by improving arterial function. 

Green tea is refreshing hot or cold. Instead of adding sugar if you must use raw local honey.

4. Seeds. Flax and sesame seeds contain polyphenols that reduce estrogen in the bloodstream. Flax seeds contain the highest levels of polyphenols and linolenic acid an essential fatty acid, according to Oregon State University. Polyphenols are found in plants. Sunflower seeds are another source of polyphenols. 

5. Whole Grains. Whole grains contain the endosperm, bran, and germ which are necessary for a healthy diet. Whole grains aren't broken down like white bread. If you are still eating white bread, rolls or donuts, stop right now. White grains are unhealthy for so many reasons. Sources of whole grains are:

• wheat
• oats
• corn
• millet
• rye
• barley

6. Red Grapes. Red grapes are excellent for the blood, and blocking estrogen. Red grapes contain two chemicals that are loaded with health benefits, reservatrol, and proanthocyanidin.

 7. Pomegranates. Pomegranates are high in phytochemicals. Deep rich, red juice and seeds block estrogen, purify the blood and strengthen the cardiovascular system. 

8. Talk To Your Doctor. Men hesitate to see a medical professional often waiting till their testosterone is dangerously low. Get your blood checked regularly for hormone levels and ask about alternative methods rather than a testosterone shot for the quick fix and potentially dangerous side-effects.

How To Increase Your Libido Easily While Relaxing

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

Do you know what I do in my spare time when I am not writing? You all know I love sex. Not just sex, but slow, soul touching connection that moves me. There are other things I enjoy as well. I enjoy laughing! Laughter is a great way to reduce stress. Laughter is good for the soul and can heal the body and mind. I recommend that couples watch comedians together. 

I have a few that I love to watch and I don't care who's with me, I laugh out loud! Belly laughter is good for you. In fact, laughter can relieve so much stress that you sleep better at night. There are other benefits to laughter. It can improve your sex life. Seriously!

Scientists have recently proven the fastest way to fix a lagging sex life is through laughter. Why? When we begin to laugh we let our plastic face mask down. We let down our guard. Do you know what else? Our bellies move and we begin to let go of all those pre-conceived notions about the things that haven't been done! Laughter is healing for the soul. Laughter gets you in touch with your body and brings you into the present. 

The Scientific Reason Laughter Is Great For Sex

Laughter boosts nitric oxide. Watching a comedy, or a comedian that is upbeat and makes you laugh causes your body to produce nitric oxide. This little but powerful molecule expands blood vessels. This is crucial for men as it increases blood flow. Healthy blood flow is important for strong and long-lasting erections.

The blood vessel lining, which is called the endothelium creates nitric oxide. It sounds like the gas your dentist might use, but they are different. Laughing gas or nitrous oxide are two very different things. 

When your endothelium is enjoying activities that increase heart-health, nitric oxide production increased. This is good to know. The added benefit of heart-healthy activities like laughter, exercise, and food that increase nitric oxide is that plaque is also reduced. Now go watch a comedian.

Scary movies drop the production of nitric oxide. So avoid the scary movies if you are looking for a late-night rendezvous with your lover! Stress also reduces the production of testosterone. Read more about Erectile Dysfunction here.

Here are some of my favorites:

I watch my comedy on Netflix

Jim Gaffigan - family guy, G-rated and funny.

Bill Burr - raunchy and angry but very funny. Lots of "F" bombs.

Don Friesen - married 18 years. A great family man, pretty clean

Russell Brand - definitely not family rated. RAUNCHY!

Want to add a little more nitric oxide to your diet. Add the following as they are packed with nitrates - of the healthy kind:

Walnuts and pistachios both also contain l-arginine which helps to create nitric oxide.

Dark Chocolate: Many studies have been done showing the benefits of dark chocolate. 

Watermelon: Great concentrations of amino acid l-citrulline. L-citrulline is one of the best natural nitric oxide boosters.

Pomegranate: This could be the very best possible food for men to eat. Plan to grow pomegranates in your backyard! Boosts testosterone levels.

Healing The Sexless Marriage

Beets: This beautiful root vegetable is packed with nitrates. Beets lower blood pressure promoting blood vessel health. I love both the root vegetable. I make Borscht and even steam the beet tops for breakfast with eggs.

I have to mention that recently some doctors that must have been on crack said beets were bad for us. Not true.

21 Ways To Prevent and Cure Erectile Dysfunction

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Hippocrates, father of medicine, 431 BC

Erectile Dysfunction has become a huge issue (pardon the pun) with the push of medications for depression, medications to make your urination stronger, medications to stop restless leg syndrome, even a medication to lower your cholesterol. The sad truth is that no one tells a man before he is prescribed anti-depressants or statins that his penis won't get hard any more. Although the issues don't arise immediately, over a month's time, erections will be more difficult to achieve. It can take months after being off a medication, before things return to relatively normal activity. For some the adverse reactions are permanent.

Click here for a listing of medications that cause erectile dysfunction on WebMD.

If you get my drift, you will recognize that it is far better to prevent these issues by maintaining a healthy weight, eating a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits and to stop eating GMO foods. Any wheat grown in the US is modified and includes Round-up a watered down version of Agent Orange, a chemical used in Viet Nam, which is now causing men to have all kinds of neurological issues who served in Nam. I used Round-up in my landscaping business for 11 years. I have a slight tremor in my hands as a result. 

Prevention Rather Than A Pill

As life has gotten busier, many have been programmed to take the easy way out for so many things. Fast food restaurants have become the norm in our society. A quick fix, rather than being patient, chopping and cooking our own food. Personally, I have not eaten in a McDonald's for over 20 years. I cook my own meals and rarely dine in restaurants because you don't know what they are putting in the food. I value my life and my health above getting the quick fix.

Depression Versus Sadness

I got teary eyed at my doctor's office when I spoke about my fifteen-year-old dog getting on in years. That day, it looked like she was going to buy the farm (snuff it) and I was feeling sad. My doctor witnessed my tears and offered me an anti-depressant. I declined. She asked me again, "Are you sure?" I told her I don't take drugs for a quick fix. I believe in processing my emotions naturally. Sadness is not the same as depression. Grief cannot be healed with a pill. Depression is one of the things I help my clients with energetically. I also give clients tools to help them think about their situation from a different perspective. 

Let food be thy medicine! 

Quick Fix

The reason millions of Americans have diabetes and heart disease is because they have eaten fast food, carbohydrate-rich meals and poor quality food. Stop eating what isn't good for you. Take care of your body. Put good fuel in your body so that you will live a long

healthy life. If it comes in a package, a box or has ingredients don't eat it. If you can't pronounce something, don't put it in your mouth! There is one area of my life I will not compromise on, that is my health. 

Exercise

I don't want to be ill later on in life, so I take care on a daily basis, exercise daily and get my butt off my chair and move. Walking and swimming are the best forms of exercise and are easy on your joints. I don't recommend jogging or even bike riding as it squishes a man's precious jewels. 

Belly Fat

Belly fat is a sign that you have clogged arteries, high cholesterol and fat around your organs. Those with a history of diseases in your family DNA you have to be especially careful with your diet. Men with belly fat are more likely to have erectile dysfunction because their arteries are clogged, their diet is poor and there is not enough good oxygenated blood to crank that penis up. 

Medications That Cause Erectile Dysfunction

Flowmax Xanax Valiumanti-depressant medications Statins - for high cholesterol like: CRESTOR, atorvastatin, Androgel (this one can cause issues with the prostate) I strongly recommend medical supervision while eliminating: simvastatin or blood pressure medications. Consult a doctor before stopping anything. 

Natural Ways To Prevent and Cure ED

1. reduce sugar and carbohydrate intake. 
2. Eliminate all high fructose and soda
3. Eat raw cacao products as most men see a 5 - 10 pt drop in systolic blood pressure. Expands arteries allowing
   
   better blood flow, double the cells inside the endothelium, increases nitric oxide production
4. Eat organic garlic - it boosts testosterone levels and lowers blood pressure naturally! Steer clear of Chinese garlic fertilized with human waste - ew!
5. Eat pomegranates and drink pomegranate juice daily. The natural Viagra Lowers blood pressure, and raises testosterone better than Viagra, shown to increase the activity of Nitric Oxide Synthase which is in erection enhancing medications
6. Eat spinach because it is incredibly rich in natural nitrates
7. Raw Walnuts have been shown to drop blood pressure
   
   10 points with only 6-8 walnuts
8. Eat asparagus regularly - it cleans out the urethra watermelon, eggs, red wine, fresh raw oysters acupuncture exercise to increase blood flow and oxygenate the blood lower cholesterol with diet, rather than a pill prostate massage for a natural erection
9. Steel Libido by Irwin NaturalsAvoid testosterone shots - liver and kidney damage - even blindness
10. Vitamin D is necessary for healthy bones and longevity, by boosting the immune system. It is linked to testosterone production and helps the body absorb calcium. In the European Journal for Endocrinology, low testosterone was tied to vitamin D deficiency.  
11. Eat tuna which is rich in Vitamin D. Sardines and Salmon are other good choices. Remember everything in moderation, as too much omega 3's can increase risk of prostate cancer.
12. Eat whole eggs, which are rich in Vitamin D. Eggs have been given a bad rap. Think about what grows out of an egg, a chick! Everything you need is in an egg! The cholesterol in egg yolks helps low T. As long as you don't
    
    have pre-existing cholesterol issues you can safely eat one egg a day.
13. Eat oysters. Zinc is needed for healthy testosterone production. Oysters are exceptionally high in Zinc. Known to increase testosterone in men with zinc  deficiencies. 
14. Eat shellfish occasionally. The National Institutes of Health says that just a three-ounce serving can give you 43% of your daily dose of Zinc.
15. Eat beans. White, kidney, and black beans, all are considered sources of vitamin D and zinc. Beans provide
    
    a plant-based protein which can protect your heart health.
16. Switch your fat to coco nut oil. Coconut oil raises testosterone. 
17. East asparagus to clean out the urethra regularly rather than taking Flowmax. Asparagus was given to
    
    bridegrooms back in the 15th century by the platefuls. It helps increase oxygenation in the penis as well. 
18. Do kegel exercises three times a day. Do 100 squeezes of the PC muscles. You can do this while driving a car, sitting, standing, walking. Kegels repaired and restored NORMAL function in 40% of the men in a study within six months. Not like taking a pill, but far longer lasting than Viagara without the side-effects. Don't be lazy do your kegels! The quick fix is not the best way.
19. Get outside. Exercise, garden. Get in touch with nature. Being outside will give you Vitamin D naturally and help you feel better about yourself.
20. Walk daily. Walking increases cardiovascular health, oxygenation in the body which is necessary for healthy erections.
21. Lift weights. Lifting weights increases testosterone naturally.
