The
Truth About the RealAge Diet
The
RealAge Diet is another diet which claims to both help you lose
weight and help you age more slowly. The full title of the diet is
“The RealAge Diet: Make Yourself Younger with What You Eat.”
The man that created the diet is Doctor Michael Roizen, and he
believes that if you follow his advice, you will be able to actually
make yourself biologically younger as long as you eat
conscientiously. He places a strong emphasis on the idea that his
nutrition and lifestyle plan is explicitly not a diet, although it
will have the same impact on your health as a diet.
Rather
than give you a complex diet plan to follow, it simply encourages
healthy eating, which helps you achieve a healthy weight. Eating well
and losing weight will not only increase your lifespan but help you
make sure that those extra years are healthy years.
The
RealAge Diet at a Glance
Encourages
the enjoyment of nutritious food in a relaxing setting
Promotes
optimal health and minimizes mortality risk through diet
Places
an emphasis on whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and soy
foods
Allows
wiggle room: Wine with dinner is acceptable, as well as a treat from
time to time
Who
Should Try the RealAge Diet?
This diet
is for men and women that have motivation and are willing to make the
effort to alter their diet for the good of their health. The goal of
this diet plan is to teach you how to live healthy with quality
information regarding nutrition and food.
Who
Should Try a Different Diet?
People
that are looking to simply lose weight should consider a different
diet. The RealAge Diet is created for individuals that are willing
and ready to make enduring changes in both their eating habits and
their lifestyle with the explicit goal of adding good years to their
life. The diet will encourage weight loss, but other diets may
achieve that end more quickly.
The
Specifics of the RealAge Diet
The
central concept behind the RealAge diet is that simply by choosing
the correct foods, you can effectively mitigate the risks of a number
of dangerous and deadly diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart
disease. The benefits of changing one's diet and lifestyle do not
only relate to chronic illness however. The diet also claims to help
you both feel and look younger. The RealAge Diet can be explained
quite simply, and Roizen explains the basic principles of the diet
succinctly: Eat nutrient dense, low calories foods that you enjoy.
One
interesting addition to the RealAge diet is that one of the first
steps of the diet is to figure out what your biological age truly is.
Roizen accomplishes this through an extensive quiz that spans more
than twenty pages. It goes through all aspects of your health status,
diet and lifestyle, explaining how these factors are all interrelated
and how good diet and lifestyle impact your life.
Unlike
many other diet plans, Roizen does not point to any supplement or
pill as the answer to your health problems. He also explains that
there is no magic ingredient or food group that will make you grow
old more slowly or lose weight more quickly. He also recognizes the
connection between stress, psychology, and eating, so he recommends
eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner in enjoyable and stress-free
environments.
What is
eating on the RealAge Diet like?
The
RealAge Diet does not involve any silver bullets or “surefire”
gimmicks, it simply outlines various guidelines for healthy eating.
There are a lot of basic principles that can help you live longer
that are simply ignored by many in 21st century America.
Among the
recommendations that Roizen makes is that you avoid empty calories,
simple sugars, trans fats, saturated fats, and red meat. These are
all things that many people have heard before, but Roizen goes
through the scientific principles behind why these foods are bad and
helps you figure out ways to effectively avoid them.
In
general, the RealAge Diet strongly cautions against the consumption
of foods that have a high glycemic index. These foods are terrible
for health because they lead to sudden spikes in insulin levels which
have a negative impact on hormone balance.
There is
strong evidence that High Glycemic Foods and Drinks encourage
obesity, diabetes, and weight gain. The RealAge Diet provides
fourteen days worth of example menus as well as twenty recipes, all
of which give you a general idea how to shape your own dietary
preferences and habits to fit the needs of your body.
Lunch –
Soy milk, a plum, and whole-wheat bread with whole fruit spread
Dinner
– Salad with olive oil, nuts, avocado, and canned tuna, red
wine, and whole grain crackers
Dessert
– Strawberries lightly
dipped in dark chocolate
Snack –
Whole Wheat Pretzel
RealAge
Diet Largely Freeform
While the
author provides example menus and recipes as a means to help you
conceptualize a healthier diet, there is no explicit system for
developing your own diet. The RealAge Diet provides you with a lot of
freedom to arrange your diet around your personal preferences.
The
RealAge Diet encourages healthier eating through education, and as
you take the RealAge Test, the author explains 127 elements which can
impact the aging process, causing you to grow and feel older more
quickly. Of the 127 elements, 25 of the factors are related to diet
and exercise, and he vividly explains how you need to alter your
lifestyle in order to improve your health and reduce your mortality
risk.
The
Expert Opinion on the RealAge Diet
This diet
is strongly influenced by modern scientific research, and is widely
agreed to be an incredibly healthy diet. Experts also appreciate that
Roizin encourages the consumption of plant foods high in
phytochemicals, which have been proven to prevent and safeguard
health by helping to prevent disease.
Although
the diet is believed to be incredibly healthy and effective, the
RealAge test is obviously very approximate, because there is no real
way to really tell how long you will live based on the way that you
score on a health test. Mortality risk is a probability equation, so
your RealAge has more to do with your odds of reaching a particular
age than a concrete measure of age based on a scoring system and
questionnaire, no matter how complex.
For
example, Roizen says that consuming foods high in phytochemicals
known as flavonoids, including grapes, chocolate, garlic, broccoli,
onions, and apples, have the ability to make your body 3.2 years
younger exactly. Roizen claims that every suggestion he makes in his
diet plan is confirmed by scientific research. On the other hand,
although there is research proclaiming that flavonoid-rich foods are
very healthy for you, there is no way to confirm how much longer or
shorter that you will live based off of your ability to follow any
particular health rule.
In spite
of this, the questionnaire does achieve worthwhile goals in spite of
only being an approximation, because it teaches you exactly how
making worthwhile changes to your diet and lifestyle has the ability
to powerfully impact your long term health.
With
regard to the diet itself, there is very little to complain about in
any facet. The diet is high in whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and
fruits. It does not rely on the use of supplements, but the author
does wisely suggest taking a mineral/multivitamin supplement just to
make sure that you get all of the nutrients that you need. He does
not recommend that you turn to any high-volume supplement with the
hopes that it will vastly improve your health.
Another
thing that experts really like about the RealAge Diet is the level of
emphasis that it places upon both physical exercise and general
activity level. Many other diets neglect discussion of good exercise
and activity habits, making it seem like it is possible to easily
lose weight and stay healthy just through diet alone.
There are
also two nutrients that the RealAge Diet pays particular attention
to, that other diets tend to neglect: Calcium and Vitamin C. He even
takes it a step further, he believes that Vitamin D is likely one of
the most essential vitamins needed in order to improve one's
resiliency to the aging process.
What
Are the Calorie Requirements of the RealAge Diet?
The
RealAge Diet doesn't place an emphasis on calorie counting, but it
still asserts the importance of being calorie-conscious. He even
provides serving sizes and calorie counts for a number of basic foods
you will be eating in your diet.
Although
he doesn't discuss caloric restriction in depth, he does provide a
calorie chart, which suggests recommended calorie consumption based
on weight, activity level, and height. The book also includes a chart
listing the number of calories burnt off by engaging in various forms
of physical exercise.

The Truth About the Origin Diet
The Origin
Diet is one of a number of diets that belong to the trend of
Paleolithic Dieting. The central idea of this diet and others like it
is that the best way to increase longevity through diet is to consume
a diet that is similar to that which our ancient ancestors would have
eaten in the Stone Age. Today, we eat and drink many things that our
bodies are not optimally designed for. This is actually one of the
reasons why obesity has become such a major health epidemic in the
United States.
Our bodies
are designed to store calories more efficiently than we can burn them
off in order to help us survive periods where food availability is
scarce. Now that we live in a country where food is plentiful, we
still crave the foods that help us survive when things get tough, but
we no longer have any appreciable risk of starvation, and many people
actually suffer from malnutrition while simultaneously being obese.
The
Origin Diet at a Glance
The
Origin Diet revolves around taking up habits in diet and nutrition
which attempt to replicate those of our ancestors from the stone
age.
This
diet avoids processed foods and is heavy on whole grain foods.
Exercise
is central to the Origin Diet.
Who
Should Try the Origin Diet?
This is
actually an incredibly safe diet which is suitable for any person
with the drive and desire to institute significant changes in both
their lifestyle and their diet. This health plan could work for
nearly anyone.
Who
Should Not Try the Origin Diet?
Unlike
many other fad diets, there really is no common group that this diet
is not recommended for. The primary barrier with regard to this diet
is price tag. The types of foods recommended with this diet are a bit
more expensive than the common processed foods which flood our
grocery stores. Before starting this plan, make sure that you have
the budget to fulfill the requirements of the diet.
Also, this
diet is fairly strict, and if you are the type of person that can't
resist temptation, you may need to look elsewhere for a diet plan
which gives more wiggle room when it comes to cheating.
The
Specifics of the Origin Diet
The author
of the Origin Diet is a dietitian named Elizabeth Somer. She explains
that two of the main reasons that Americans are getting sicker is
because they don't engage in enough physical activity and they eat
too much unhealthy food. She argues that these two facts alone are
responsible for at least half of the cases of heart disease and over
two thirds of the cases of cancer in our society today.
She
believes that the weight gain that occurs in middle-aged men and
women in America is not primarily the result of hormone imbalance or
factors associated with aging, but to the increasingly sedentary
lifestyles of people in the United States today. Human Growth Hormone
and Testosterone Levels do decline slowly over time, but this alone
is not responsible for weight control issues in American society,
although it does play a role, and poor diet and exercise habits do
have a negative impact on healthy hormone production while increasing
the concentration of hormones like cortisol that are associated with
increased mortality risk.
Somer
believes that by engaging in a diet which follows the patterns of our
ancestors, we enhance our health and hormone balance and keeping our
bodies stronger and healthier deeper into the lifespan. She goes on
to site specific risks that the Origin Diet serves to mitigate. It
reduces the risk of cardiovascular issues such as high blood pressure
and heart disease, and it reduces the risk of psychological issues
such as depression and memory loss.
There is
even evidence that such a diet can encourage bone health and help
prevent cataracts. Finally, the Origin Diet increases metabolism,
which both burns excess fat and increases metabolism which vastly
increases energy levels and reduces fatigue. All of these benefits
come together in order to help individuals live longer lives and drop
pounds more effectively.
It is
important to note, that, like the Eat Better, Live Longer Diet, this
is not explicitly considered a weight loss diet, although it can
easily encourage weight loss through healthier eating choices. This
diet is designed primarily to optimize your health and the processes
of your body so that you can live longer and healthier.
The
Idea Behind the Origin Diet
Most of
the nutrition recommendations of the Origin Diet are deeply rooted in
scientific research. Somer's diet plan places an emphasis on the
consumption of unprocessed foods eaten in their purest forms. There
is strong evidence that foods like these provide nutrients optimally,
especially compounds known as phytonutrients which have the
capability to ward off illness and disease.
The Origin
Diet also includes a lot of nutrition options which are high in
fiber, because these foods have the ability to both control
cholesterol and balance blood sugar, reducing the prevalence of
Insulin spikes and reducing the risk of Diabetes significantly.
The Origin
Diet is not only a nutrition plan, however, it is a way of life.
Somer relates Five Stone Age Secrets that have the ability to
supplement and amplify the benefits provided by this diet. She argues
that this diet is healthier for human beings because it works better
with the way that our bodies have been designed over thousands of
years. The Origin Diet also gives you the opportunity to adapt to its
precepts over time. These five principles when combined help develop
your body into the finely tuned machine that it was designed to be by
evolution.
Exercise
is vitally important to this diet, because we were historically
hunter-gatherers living off of the land. If we wanted meat we had to
hunt down wild game or herd domestic animals. If we wanted other
foods, we had to forage for them. Our Stone Age lifestyle was an
incredibly active lifestyle, and the Origin Diet seeks to replicate
this high level of physical activity.
The
Specifics of the Origin Diet
The Origin
Diet places a powerful emphasis upon natural foods that one would
find in the wild, and foods which are nutritionally similar to these
foods. Although this diet is highly Paleolithic, you won't be rooting
and foraging yourself. Canned foods will often suffice for your diet,
and just because a food is frozen, doesn't mean that it is bad for
you. Some processed foods are even allowed, as long as they meet
certain guidelines. Even fat-free salad dressing is okay in
moderation
In her
book, Somer provides a number of suggestions for meals, which can be
prepared to meet the daily requirements of the diet each day. The
book also provides recipes to make a number of dishes which fit the
specific needs of the diet.
Unlike
many other forms of diet, there is no explicit nutrition plan and
there are no complicated dietary exchanges. As an alternative, the
Origin Diet provides a set of specific guidelines for you to follow
in order to change the way that you eat.
The
Origin Diet suggests the following every day:
Two
servings of lean protein
Three
servings of starch from vegetables
Three
servings of foods rich in calcium
Six
servings of whole grains
An
acceptable dinner would be something along the lines of chopped
walnuts, raisins, wheat germ, and soy milk. A typical lunch would be
nonfat milk, green salad with no-fat dressing, and a whole wheat
grilled chicken sandwich. Dinner would be nonfat milk, broccoli,
baked potato, and baked salmon with veggies.
One of the
central tenets of this diet is to limit the intake of unhealthy fats.
The primary sources of meat-protein should be wild game, shellfish,
fish, and poultry breast. Another thing this diet shares with many
other successful diets is a concept she refers to as grazing. She
believes that it is generally better to eat five or six modest meals
and snacks across the entire day, rather than packing all of the
calories into breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Expert
Opinion on the Origin Diet
Nutrition
specialists pretty much universally agree that the Origin Diet is an
incredibly healthy diet, although they do have some concerns
regarding the viability of the diet for some people. Avoiding overly
processed food is very important, and if you don't have time to
prepare your own meals or you have to eat conveniently this may be
hard to do.
Also, some
may find it hard to switch from beef and pork to wild game, either
because of a lack of availability or because of the increased cost
added to the food budget. On the other hand, many experts believe
that you could replace wild game with lean cuts of beef and pork and
still have a successful and workable diet. If you can work with the
restrictions of this diet, you will inevitably have success in
improving your health.
Like most
other effective diets, the Origin Diet does not only concern
nutrition, but also stress control and exercise. The Origin Diet
includes a variety of suggestions regarding ways that you can include
physical activity into your everyday life, and also provides a list
of suggestions regarding ways that you can alleviate stress and take
the time to relax.
Overall,
this is a very balanced and healthy diet. It revolves around the
consumption of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and places a high
emphasis on healthy soy products. Overall, there are really only two
ways that this diet is deficient: Vitamin D and Calcium. If you are
under the age of fifty, Vitamin D won't be a problem, because you can
easily get what you need with a little bit of healthy and
conscientious sunlight. On the other hand, you may need to start
looking for fortified foods and supplements if you are over fifty
years old, because our bodies start to make Vitamin D less
efficiently.
The Origin
Diet only recommends up to three servings of dairy each day. This is
more than many other nutrition plans, but this is still not enough to
meet your Calcium needs for the day. Men and women over the age of
fifty need between 1,200 and 1,500 mg of Vitamin D and Calcium every
day.
The best
ways that you can get Vitamin D without turning to supplements are
through fortified yogurts and milk. If you start trading dairy milk
for soy milk, make sure that your soy milk is properly fortified with
Vitamin D and Calcium, because this is not always the case.
The good
thing about this diet is that there isn't a real necessity to
compulsively count calories throughout the day, because the basic
rules of the diet limit your ability to overeat, because of a focus
on nutrition dense rather than calorie dense foods.
This diet
is also great because the foods that you eat will both have a high
fiber content and will for the most part be unprocessed or lightly
processed, meaning that your hunger will be abated more quickly which
will also help you eat more reasonable meals. This, in combination
with the required exercise of the diet, will make you be sure to lose
weight as long as you follow the diet appropriately.
What is
the Calorie Count for the Origin Diet?
Unlike a
lot of other diets, there is no explicit calorie count for the Origin
Diet. The main thrust of this diet is learning about the foods you
eat and choosing foods that are densely nutritious and high in fiber.
Also, the strict limit on processed grains, sugar, and unhealthy fat
will also go a long way to naturally curtail your daily intake of
calories, even without explicitly trying to cut calories.

The
Truth About the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
This is
another diet that is designed with the goal of allowing the dieter to
reach a healthy weight as well as take measures to improve their odds
of living a long, happy, and healthy life. This diet plan was
designed by the presiding member of the Physicians' Committee for
Responsible Medicine, Doctor Neil Barnard. The diet purports to
accomplish this goal by releasing the power of the foods that you
choose to eat so that you enhance your health and slow down the
process of aging.
Unlike the
Zone Diet, this diet is completely vegetarian, and involves a very
limited consumption of fat. Barnard believes that this diet can
powerfully impact longevity, because it balances hormones, enhances
the immune system, filters the blood, and limits the impact of
disease on the cells.
Eat
Right, Live Longer Diet Overview
The Eat
Right, Live Longer Diet is designed to keep the body healthy at the
cellular level, improve hormone balance and strengthen the immune
system with the help of a vegetarian diet low in fat.
The diet
revolves around the consumption of organic foods with the goal of
avoiding pesticides and other contaminants.
Barnard's
diet also involves raw vegetables and fruits, because they provide
antioxidants and nutrients more effectively than cooked alternatives.
Who
Should Try the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet?
This diet
could be effective for individuals that are vegetarian or would be
interested in adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. This diet is also for
people that enjoy cooking and preparing foods, and have the time to
do so, because there is little room for convenience foods within the
specifications of this diet.
Who
Should Avoid the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet?
If you
aren't interested in vegetarianism, this diet is not right for you.
If you like meat and dairy products and can't imagine a life without
them, go ahead and stop reading here. Also, because this diet
requires a lot of prep and home cooking, people that require meal
flexibility will have a lot of trouble making this diet work.
The
Idea Behind the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
This diet
does not emphasize weight loss, but with considerate adaptations and
considerations, this diet could easily be an effective weight loss
plan. In the book devoted to the diet, there is only a single chapter
discussing how the diet can potentially pertain to weight loss.
In spite
of the fact that the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet is not designed
exclusively as a diet for losing weight, the author explains that a
vegetarian lifestyle can be an incredibly effective means to lose
weight, with only a few important precautions. He believes that if
you simply follow the recommendations of his diet, you'll never
really have to “diet” because you will be eating
responsible meals every day.
The
Specifics of the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
Barnard's
diet plan is not explicitly about losing weight, but making efforts
to preserve optimal health. His primary argument for avoiding diary
products and meats is that they are packed with drugs, hormones, and
chemicals which can negatively impact our immune systems and even
make us ill.
Unlike the
Zone Diet, this diet involves high consumption of carbohydrates as a
means to lose weight, citing research that contends that carbohydrate
calories are inefficiently turned into fat by the digestive system,
and that they actually take more energy to burn than fat calories.
Another
reason he supports a high-carbohydrate diet is because there is
evidence that shows that after a person eats a high-carb meal, they
emit higher levels of body heat, which supports the hypothesis that
these sorts of carbs burn calories more quickly. He goes so far as to
say that high-carb foods can actually burn more calories than they
produce under some circumstances.
He claims
that following this diet can have a strong influence on hormone
balance, and can help overweight people lose weight and improve their
health overall. This diet claims to improve hormone balance by
preventing hormone levels from spiking. Barnard explains that eating
excessive fat causes hormone levels to increase, while consuming
fiber has the ability to balance hormones.
Nutrition
Plan of the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
The book
associated with this diet plan includes one hundred pages of
individual recipes, as well as fourteen days of unique meal menus
made up of those recipes. Barnard also includes tips on how to shop
in order to achieve success with this diet, and also explains how to
get your kitchen ready for vegetarian cooking that involves very
little fat.
The
typical Eat Right, Live Longer Daily Menu looks a lot different than
the Zone Diet. An Example of an Eat Right Breakfast would be fruit
preserves, applesauce muffins, and an apricot smoothie. Lunch would
be something like fruit salad, spinach salad, potatoes, and lentil
soup. Dinner would be the meal that looked most different: Dinner may
include garlic bread, tomato and broccoli pasta, salad with no-fat
dressing, and fresh apricot crisps. Barnard emphasizes constantly
that in order for this diet to be most successful, it is vitally
important that no dairy or meat products ever be consumed.
There are
many reasons why Dr. Barnard recommends raw vegetables and fruits,
but one big reason is that these sorts of raw foods drastically
increase the synthesis of a compound known as Gluthathione.
Gluthathione is a powerful antioxidant which has the ability to take
damaging free radicals and other potentially toxic compounds and ship
them out of the body. While the Eat Right diet does caution against
the intake of excess sugars, it does not emphasize the potential
importance of glycemic index as a lot of other diets do.
Expert
Opinion of the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
Most
nutrition experts believe that the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet is
indeed a healthy diet, if you have the power to maintain it. It's not
necessarily a problem inherent with the diet, but most people would
probably find the diet hard to follow because they are not willing to
commit to a purely vegetarian diet.
With
regard to health concerns, there are two primary issues for people
over the age of fifty that are interested in the diet. The first
issue is that the diet lacks both Vitamin D and B12, as well as
calcium. The diet plan does explain how to add Vitamin B12 in the
diet, but does not do a good job of explaining how to get the Vitamin
D and Calcium needed for a healthy and balanced diet. Of course, one
could add multivitamins and other supplements to take care of these
dietary needs.
Barnard
contends that if you follow his diet appropriately, you can get by
with less calcium in the diet because you are eating less protein.
Protein consumption has a negative impact on calcium retention, which
necessitates an enhanced need for Calcium. He also explains that if
you get enough sunlight every day, you won't need Vitamin D from the
diet. The problem with this is that after the age of fifty or so,
your body will start to produce its own Vitamin D less effectively.
If you are
interested in losing weight and balancing your hormones, this is a
very strong vegetarian diet. If you do exactly as the diet says, you
will likely lose weight. The diet will also produce a number of
health benefits which should greatly decrease your mortality risk as
well. This diet will likely reduce your risk of hypertension, heart
disease, diabetes, and even probably some types of cancer. The issue
is simply a matter of your own personal commitment to the diet and
your ability to spend the extra money necessary to live by an organic
diet.
The main
way that we would suggest that you supplement the diet would to make
sure that you take a multivitamin that has a full daily value of both
Vitamin D and B12, as well as one gram of calcium.
Calorie
Requirements of this Diet
Although
this diet does not go into explicit detail regarding how to lose
weight,their rule of thumb for your calorie consumption is that you
should aim for ten calories for every pound that you want to weigh.
So if you weigh 200 pounds and want to weigh 165, you shouldn't eat
fewer than 1,650 calories per day. This is the only suggestion that
the author makes with regard to your caloric consumption.
Final
Thoughts on the Eat Right, Live Longer Diet
Since this
diet does not include high levels of protein and is very low in fat,
you will easily be able to lose weight if you want to. Most of the
foods suggested, outside of carbohydrates, are very nutrient dense
while not adding too many calories. Remember, however, that
vegetarianism is not a sure-fire way to lose weight, because many
people find that as they adapt to their new lifestyle, they find
other ways to tack on unnecessary calories.
Also, if
you aren't overly interested or do not have the budget for a purely
organic diet, the benefits of an organic diet are not fully vetted,
and you will likely experience most of the same benefits if you
choose your foods conscientiously, even if they aren't certified
organic. Finally, recommendations such as avoiding tap water because
of chlorine are not well-founded, but may produce some small, if only
modestly significant benefit.
Eat
Right, Live Longer Diet Recommendations
Eat lots
of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits; source produce organically,
drink bottled water
Eat
Right, Live Longer Things to Avoid
No dairy
products, no meats, no produce that isn't organic, no tap water

Testosterone Therapy Benefits
Correctly performed testosterone therapy can be your ticket to
health.
Three sided solution: Testosterone + HCG + Arimidex
If your doctor only prescribes testosterone by itself, you will
probably have a rough ride. The tendency is for you to feel
great the first couple months, while you increase testosterone
levels, followed by a slow deterioration, once your estrogen
creeps up.
High estrogen negates a lot of the positives from testosterone
therapy, resulting in the same symptoms of low testosterone you
had in the first place!
The solution is to add a drug called Arimidex. It's called an
aromatase inhibitor, which essentially blocks the conversion of
testosterone to estrogen. It has the effect of increasing
testosterone levels, while keeping your estrogen low.
Once you have your testosterone and estrogen solved, it's time
to stop the next inevitable decline? Shrinking testicles.
This is where HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) comes in. It
prevents both infertility and testicle shrinkage. Your
testicles shrink because your body thinks it doesn't need to
make testosterone anymore.
For some, small testicles may seem like just a cosmetic
problem. But HGC does more than increase testicle size, it also
increases adrenal function, which can have positive effects on
well-being, libido, and energy.
