Alcohol Lowers Testosterone, Increase Estrogen
If you're a guy and you're STILL unsure whether to reduce or eliminate alcohol from your diet, here's yet another fact for you to ponder: alcohol lowers testosterone and increases estrogen, often bringing about gynecomastria (male breast enlargement) due to increased conversion of testosterone and other aromatizable androgens to estrogen.
Furthermore, it also can lead to testicular atrophy, low sperm count, and difficulty in performing sexually via erectile dysfunction, or ED. Ask any guy and he'll tell you that the LAST thing he wants is shrunken testicles or difficulty getting an erection.
What's even worse, if you work out with weights to feel and look stronger you should be aware that alcohol is preventing you from making as much progress as you should. It does this by destroying muscle gains in several ways, including lowering testosterone, dehydration, preventing vitamin absorption, and much more.The good news in all this is that from the very second you stop drinking alcohol you begin to heal. Your body is truly a miracle of design, able to heal the damage that alcohol caused it, but, you have to stop now to have the best chance of getting back the healthy you.
Don't let alcohol destroy you for one more second. Stop drinking now, and get a fresh start at a new life.
