Growth hormone has an array of benefits for the body including, increase muscle mass, fat loss, bone density, etc.(Similair benefits to testosterone) Does anyone have any tips to boost this hormone? Or lower Somatostatin(the GH inhibitor). Some studies say sugar has a negative impact. Any opinions on this claim?

Hey everybody! My name is Joseph and Im 19 years old. I live in the USA. I joined this group because Aleks's information has shown me results in the past and I would like to learn more.

In general our testicles need lower temperature than our general body temperature by few degrees Celsius, increasing testicle temperature is associated with bad function. Can cooling of the balls with something like ice cold water be worth it, its obvious that we should not wear tight polyester underwear since there are multiple downsides to that. I think that cooling of testicles works but it might not be enough to solve underlying problems but i will still do it, as i will tell more about bellow. Some of the big bad things for sperm temprature also are prolonged hot baths and in general anything that will constatnly make your balls warm. If you wash your balls its best to use cold water for sure. Sperm and testicle temperature "Sperm concentration decreased 40% per 1 degrees C increment of median daytime scrotal temperature" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12128094/ Cooling of balls working for amount of sperm "Nocturnal scrotal cooling by means of an air stream resulted in a decrease in scrotal temperature of approximately 1 degrees C. Furthermore, a highly significant increase in sperm concentration and total sperm output was achieved after nocturnal scrotal cooling for 12 weeks together with a moderate decrease in factors leading to genital heat stress." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11277880/ Avoiding warm water increased amount of sperm with motility by 500% "Five patients (45%) responded favorably to cessation of heat exposure and had a mean increase in total motile sperm counts of 491%." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17335598/ Laptop decrease sperm quality "Donor sperm samples exposed during 4 hours to a wireless internet-connected laptop showed a significant decrease in progressive sperm motility and an increase in sperm DNA fragmentation." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22112647/
