Tips To Increase Testosterone Levels |

Dear Ask The Doctor: I was a 22 year old man. I recently visited my GP because I suspected that I had the symptoms of low testosterone. I felt depressed for no particular reason, I lost interest in sex and girls, I had no morning erections, and patchy facial and body hair, I only have to shave twice a week. The doctor sent me to the treatment room to get a blood test carried out. The results came back in a week's time and I made an appointment with the doctor to discuss the results. I discovered that I had a testosterone level of 12 nmolL-1 and was told the normal range was 8-30 nmolL-1. The doctor didn't prescribe me anything as he said I was within the so called normal range. This range does not take age into consideration, so this range would be the same for a 90 year old man. I feel my level is exceptionally low for a young 22 year old man. After that I started on zinc and garlic supplements. I intend to see the doctor again in a few months time to get the test done again, hopefully it will be better. The blood test was taken in the late afternoon in early February. Maybe the time of day or time of year makes a difference? Also, I was going through a depressed period for no particular reason. Could you recommend any supplements or foods other that zinc and garlic I should be taking? Also, do you consider my level low? Dear Gary: There are certain lifestyle modifications that you can try to increase your testosterone levels :
