What are the signs of male hormonal health?

In fact, the most intuitive manifestation of the health of male hormones (the core is testosterone) is that the whole person is in a state of dynamic stretching and balance. It is not at all as simple as big muscles, thick body hair, and a thick voice as reported on the Internet.

There is a 38-year-old back-end programmer next to me. He stayed up late for three months working on projects in the past two years. At that time, he was so exhausted that he couldn't breathe even when climbing the third floor. Allergic rhinitis, which is a must-have when the season changes, took half a month to heal. Last year, he started to adjust his schedule and fixed it three times a week. I did 40 minutes of strength training and drank less alcohol. At a dinner party a while ago, I said that I could get up as soon as I woke up in the morning and would not stay in bed for half an hour. I even had rhinitis only once in the past six months. This is the most direct signal that my hormones have returned to a healthy level.

It’s interesting to say that heavy body hair and fast beard growth are always regarded as signs of sufficient hormones on the Internet. In fact, there are many people who are born with thick body hair, but the testosterone value in physical examination is stuck at the lower limit of the reference value. There are also many fitness enthusiasts who rely on supplements to build muscles. They look very strong, but in fact, exogenous supplements inhibit the secretion of endogenous testosterone. The whole person becomes irritable and irritable at all times, and loses a lot of hair. How can this be a healthy state?

To be honest, those small states hidden in daily life are much more reliable than a single physical examination value and external physical signs. For example, I can concentrate on the computer for two or three hours during the working day without having to rely on coffee. I don’t feel tired all the time. Even if I did leg exercises the day before, I won’t be so sore that I can’t go downstairs the next day. I sleep well. I don’t lie on the bed tossing and turning until one or two o’clock and keep my eyes open while scrolling through my phone. I am also interested in things in life. I don’t feel inactive about anything in my twenties and thirties. My overall state is relaxed and relaxed, not tense.

Many people also regard strong sexual desire as a sign of hormonal health. In fact, whether it is excessive excitement and can't help thinking about it, or complete lack of interest for a long time, it is a sign of imbalance. A healthy state is naturally controlled, not led by desire, and not completely resistant to intimate contact. I met a 27-year-old guy before who took internet-famous testicle-stimulating supplements in order to develop abdominal muscles. After three months of eating, his muscles grew a little. As a result, his face broke out and his hairline receded one centimeter. He quarreled with his girlfriend when he disagreed with his girlfriend. He went to the hospital to check for testosterone. The endogenous level was so low that it was almost as low as menopausal men. It is typical to overdo it and mess up the hormonal balance. It is useless to look "manly".

To put it bluntly, male hormone health does not need to be proved by any external label. Just like when the car's engine is running smoothly, you will naturally feel comfortable driving it and will not turn off the engine or hit the accelerator. Whether your physical condition is comfortable or not is actually more accurate than any physical examination indicators or online standards.
