Way 9: Avoid Environmental Toxins
Environmental toxins, such as pesticides, plastics, and heavy metals, can negatively impact hormone production, including testosterone. These toxins, known as endocrine disruptors, can interfere with hormone signaling and lead to hormonal imbalances.
To minimize your exposure to environmental toxins, consider making some lifestyle changes, such as:
• Choosing organic produce whenever possible to reduce pesticide exposure.
• Avoiding plastic food containers and using glass or stainless steel alternatives instead.
• Filtering your tap water to remove potential contaminants, such as heavy metals and chlorine.
• Using natural cleaning products and personal care products to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
By making these changes, you can help protect your hormonal health and support optimal testosterone production. (8)
