Testosterone is one of the essential hormones for male health, being linked to muscle mass, body composition, sperm production, sexual desire, and other bodily processes. Over time, the levels of this hormone can gradually decrease, especially after middle age.

Given this scenario, a common question arises among men: is it possible to increase testosterone levels without immediately resorting to medication? Urologist Guillermo Romero, a specialist in urology, sexology, and male sexual health, highlights that there are habits that can contribute to better hormonal health.

According to the specialist, these habits are related to physical exercise, body weight, nutrition, rest, and stress management. Adopting these practices can help keep testosterone levels within the normal range.

It is very important to keep testosterone levels within the normal range to obtain all the benefits this hormone offers to the male body throughout life.

Scientists discover possible unexpected benefit involving semaglutide and mental health

A study conducted with nearly 15,000 people in Sweden found an association between the use of semaglutide — the active compound in medications like Ozempic and Wegovy — and a lower risk of psychiatric hospitalization among patients with bipolar disorder. The research, conducted by Griffith University, pointed to a 21% reduction in hospitalization risk, but scientists warn that the result does not prove that the medication is responsible for the improvement. The discovery suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may influence the brain, in addition to blood sugar levels and appetite.
