When your girlfriend suddenly snaps and walk out or if your boyfriend offered to give you a hug ‘because you need it the most,’ you think that he or she is just being ‘hormonal.’ Let’s face it, a lot of men and women associate bad mood or weird acts to hormones even if we all know that hormones are products of the endocrine system and are essential to human development. They are not always the antagonist although men specifically should really blame hormones for their man breasts.
How Hormonal Imbalance Happen In Men
There are several types of hormones produced by the glands in the endocrine system.Testosterone is the hormone most dominant in men. This hormone is the reasonbehind men’s deep voice, reproductive tissue development, hairy body, and bone mass. The hormone levels go off balance when the estrogen, or female hormone,outnumber the testosterone. Then, man boobs begin to develop.
What Causes Hormonal Disruption
Too much exposure to hormone-altering chemicals cause disruption in the hormone balance. One of the most popular and common form of hormone-altering chemicals is known as BPA or Bisphenol A. Commonly, this is found in most plastic materials like bottles, cups, dinner and kitchen wares.
Products containing steroids or anabolic steroids are also notorious when it comes to shaking the hormone balance in men. Body builders and athletes in particular are prone to consuming them even without doctor’s prescription. Although there is no concrete evidence that steroid overload can cause mood swings and behavioral shifts, studies show that this can be blamed for the development of man boobs in men.
Aside from the anabolic steroid resistance, men suffering from hormonal imbalance should be cautious about their eating habits. Processed foods are naturally harmful to the human body as well as too much sugar. These render the body prone to hormonal imbalance and man boobs development for men. This is because of the trans fats contained in processed foods.
Coffee-lovers and alcoholics are not safe either. Caffeine are known to spike cortisol, the stress hormone while alcohol is another stimulant that causes the testosterone levels to be erratic.
Recommended Treatments
