I. Introduction
Testosterone and Testosterone deficiency
Testosterone is a male hormone. Besides promoting libido it has other
important functions such as maintaining muscle mass, forming bone, and
regulating heart muscle and cholesterol. It also helps to improve the
oxygen levels throughout the body as well as controlling blood glucose
and strengthening the immune system. Starting at age 40, levels of
testosterone start to diminish, the levels of the by-product prolactin
of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the
enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to
gihydro-testosterones DHT thus triggering low levels of testosterone.
Heart Disease
Most heart diseases are caused by aging as the levels of testosterone
decreases as well as others such as high blood pressure which
contributes to hardening of the arteries, high levels of bad cholesterol
(LDL) build up in the arteries as a result of uncontrolled diet with
high levels of saturated fat and trans fat. All these add to the
formation of atherosclerosis lesions and eventually arterial blockage or
anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and
impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.
II. Heart Diseases caused by testosterone deficiency
The heart has many testosterone receptor sites that helps to support the
muscle building of the heart and protein synthesis, as well as coronary
artery dilation, and maintains healthy cholesterol. As men age, the
levels of testosterone decreases which weakens the heart muscle. Study
shows that symptoms and EKG measurement improve when low testosterone
are increased.
III. The effects of heart disease caused by testosterone deficiency
1. Blood pressure rises.
The drop of testosterone in men may eventually cause the estrogen levels
to be higher than the testosterone levels resulting in high blood
pressure.
2. Coronary artery elasticity diminishes.
Since testosterone is not only responsible for maintaining heart muscle
protein synthesis, it is also a promoter of coronary artery dilation.
The dropping of levels of testosterone as a result of the heart no
longer maintaining the function of artery dilation and artery elasticity
diminishes.
3. Rising of bad cholesterol, fibrinogen and triglycerides.
Since the heart is weakened caused by low levels of testosterone, the
heart is no longer able to maintain its function as cholesterol,
fibrinogen and triglycerides resulting in cholesterol build up in the
arteries and high levels of fibrinogen and triglycerides in the
bloodstream.
4. Insulin resistance.
Low levels of testosterone causes malfunction of the receptor site
resulting in cells unable to take in food particles through points of
receptor sites.
5. Abdominal fat increases.
Fat cells create aromatase enzymes that contribute to fat build up and
low levels of testosterone that allows the forming of abdominal fat that
produces more aromatase enzyme resulting in more formation of estrogen.
It also causes insulin resistance by increasing fat around the
stomach/waist area and fat mass.
6. Human growth hormone declines.
Levels of testosterone declines as men age.
IV. Prevention and treatment
The natural remedies uses included
1. Raw dark green leaf juice
The fresh raw dark green leaf juices are vitally important in the
nutritional treatment of testosterone deficiency and Alzheimer's
disease. Raw dark green leaf juice contains high amounts of vitamin C,
bioflavonoids, carotenoids, and living plant enzymes to aid digestion
& vitamin K resulting in cleansing of liver toxins as well as
strengthening the immune system, helping to detoxify your body resulting
in reversing the progressing of aging and other form of diseases.
2. Cold water fish
Besides plenty of omega 3, cold water fish is an excellent source of
vitamin A and zinc that helps the binding of sex hormones, specifically
testosterone and estradiol.
3. Oyster and crustaceans
Oyster and crustaceans contain high levels of magnesium and zinc that is
a natural aromatase inhibitor playing a key role in regulating
testosterone levels as well as improving circulation of blood to the
penis vessels.
4. Saw palmetto
Saw palmetto helps to promote prostate health and increase sexual
stimulation. It also helps estrogen and estrogen receptor activity
resulting in a healthy hormone balance, thus increasing the levels of
testosterone in men.
5. Muira Pauma
Muira pauma are stems and roots of a ptychopetalum plant in South
America. It has been used as an aphrodisiac, tonic and cure for muscle
paralysis and strengthening the liver function that helps to cure the
hormone imbalance in aging men. Study shows that muira pauma is a libido enhancer.
6. Cinnamon Bark
The sweet and spicy taste of cinnamon bark is considered to have a very
hot energy. In Chinese medicine, cinnamon bark increases the Yang energy
and sexual vitality.
7. Ginkgo biloba
Unlike aspirin, Ginkgo biloba will not cause upset stomach and internal
bleeding. Also, Ginkgo biloba can improve blood circulation. Be sure not
to take Ginkgo seeds because they are toxic and can cause seizures.
8. Zinc and iron
Zinc and iron together helps to increase oxygen levels, produce more red
blood cells, as well as aiding the circulation of the bloodstream.
9. Lutein
Study shows that people that have alot of lutein in their blood stream
see no increase in the thickness of their carotid arteries. That means
LDL cholesterol have not oxidized causing formation of dangerous plaque
at their arteries wall leading to heart attacks and lowering cholesterol
levels.
10. Chorella
Chlorella containing beta carotene, chlorophyll and other many
nutritional supplements is a powerful antioxidant that helps to
strengthen the immune system by blocking the formation of free radicals,
improving oxygen levels for cell needs and nitric oxygen stimulating
the enlargement of penis through sexual desire and detoxifying your
liver as well as the entire body.
11. Fiber
Fiber can be soluble or insoluble. As we mentioned in a previous
article, soluble fiber can lower your LDL and raise your HDL cholesterol
while insoluble fiber has no effect on cholesterol but promotes regular
bowel movements. The intake of fatty foods causes the liver to release
bile into the intestines to break down the fat. The soluble fiber will
help eliminate the bile instead of returning it to the blood resulting
in reduced amounts of cholesterol in the blood.
12. Onions and garlic
Garlic and onions contain high amounts of sulfur compounds that not only
help to improve circulation of blood but also help to keep your
platelets from clumping together. Daily consumption of both garlic and
onions help to keep blood pressure and cholesterol levels in healthy
range. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you are taking any blood
thinner medicines.
13. L-Arginine
L-Arginine helps to increase the production of nitric oxide in our body,
this has an anti-angina and anti-stress effect upon the arteries
enabling the muscles in the arterial walls to relax. L-Arginine also
helps to prevent the build up of plaque on the arterial walls. L-
Arginne taken either orally or intravenously has been found to prevent
and reverse atherosclerosis, improving the functional status of heart
failure and increasing blood flow in heart disease patients.
14. Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that acts as an antioxidant helping to fortify
cardiac contraction and enhance the outflow of blood from the heart.
Intake of taurine will reduce the risk of congestive heart failure and
arteriosclerosis.
14. Flax seeds
Flax seeds contain high amounts of alpha-linoenic acid that helps to
lower high blood pressure and the risk of stroke. Eating too much flax
seeds will cause gas to build up if you are not used to it.
15. Cayenne
Cayenne stimulates blood flow, and strengthens the heart's metabolism.
It also helps to improve blood circulation as well as the digestive and
immune systems. Cayenne contains high amounts of beta-carotene, cobalt,
essential fatty acids, niacin and zinc that helps circulatory
stimulation, blood purification, detoxification and fatigue.
16. Du zhong (rubber tree bark)
Du zhong is consider the primary herb used to increase the yang function in the body resulting in benefits of the heart.
