Testosterone- How to Increase DHEA and Testosterone Naturally
DHEA is one of the hormones that your body produces and like other hormone such as Testosterone and HGH, it also declines with age.
This slow down in the production of DHEA triggers a whole lot of body dysfunctions and disorders.
It is in fact, the most abundant steroid hormone produced in your body.
DHEA Anti aging properties
The famous biochemist Stephen Cherniske has shown that one of the most consistent and devastating aspects of aging is the emergence of the metabolic syndrome, which is also termed Syndrome X.
Decreased insulin sensitivity, free testosterone, and HDL, along with increased LDL, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, characterize the metabolic syndrome.
The decline in DHEA secretion contributes to the metabolic syndrome and its related diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and type II diabetes.
Results from the use of DHEA are gradual, and over time, one should not wait for some dramatic change.
The anti-aging properties of DHEA are especially gradual, as is aging itself, and may be noticed over an extended period only.
There are some short-term effects, such as in weight control and anti-depression, but it may also be noted that in addition to dietary supplementation, regular strenuous exercise also naturally raises the DHEA level in the human body.
The use of DHEA as a dietary supplementation is believed to have the following affects:
• It maintains the level of hormones such as testosterone
• Increases the production of antioxidant enzymes in the liver
• DHEA blocks an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (g6pd) which is needed to produce fat tissue and also promotes cancer cell growth
• Relieves stress
