More and more men are developing man boobs these days. The medical name for man boobs is Gynecomastia, so what causes Gynecomastia?
Weight gain – weight gain is the most common cause of Gynecomastia. Our diets generally are getting worse with processed and sugary foods in abundance. A general layer of fat will collect in certain places and unfortunately the best area is one of those for a man. You want to lose your man boobs lose your fat!
Changing hormone levels – for whatever reason many men have too many female hormones in their body. Estrogen in particular will cause Gynecomastia. The issue here is that exercise alone will not get rid of your man boobs. The good news is you can regulate your hormone levels with food.
Puberty – it’s a stage of life we all go through and this often causes Gynecomastia in young men. It’s something that exercise can really help with but at the end of the day you probably just have to wait to grow a bit older.
Aging – as we get older we accumulate more fat and lose muscle tone. If we don’t work out to keep the fat down and muscles in good order then this can cause Gynecomastia. What can you do about it? Take some gentle exercise and eat the right foods.
Alcohol and illegal drugs – over indulging in these can cause man boobs to appear. Alcohol in particular also is high in calories. Give up the drugs – they are no good for you and get some exercise instead.
Using Steroids – if you use steroids then I am afraid they could cause Gynecomastia. Steroids may make your muscles grow, but they may make your man boobs grow too. Best stick to natural body building methods and eat lots of good protein.
