If you ask a physical trainer what he is asked most often, he’ll tell you, “How to get rid of man boobs”. No kidding.
The guys who ask have been told to do more vigorous chest workouts, to do more push-ups, to change their diet, and even to go under the knife (gynecomastia surgery).
Unfortunately, the male breast reduction solution is not that simple. Gynecomastia is a hormonal condition. This means that your body (the Pituitary Gland) is producing a series of chemicals that basically program your body shape. If you want to lose man boobs, you’ve got to influence the “master gland”.
More specifically, the Pituitary Gland sends out chemical messages to other glands in your body, telling them to secrete various hormones or to stop secreting hormones. These secretions from other glands in turn control all the activities of our body.
In the case of Gynecomastia, the important glands are the testicles. Testicles secrete testosterone and estrogen. If the estrogen level becomes high enough in the male body, then the symptoms of Gynecomastia may begin to appear.
Simply put, testosterone triggers male characteristics, like facial hair and bigger muscles, while estrogen triggers female characteristics like breast development. The balance between the concentrations of these two hormones is responsible for and determines the development of masculine or feminine traits.
During puberty, the production of hormones in the body is greatly increased. Both testosterone and estrogen pour into the teen-aged bodies, and in some cases, boys will develope small breasts, until the body’s self adjustment mechanism kicks in (in a few years), restoring the hormone balance in these young men.
The self adjusting mechanism in all bodies does require proper nutrition to operate properly. however. In today’s society, it’s no wonder that certain adolescent traits do not go away, as many teenagers eat tons of junk food and are not being taught how to take good care of their body (by providing it with proper nutrition).
The body can cure itself. It’s just a question of if you are willing to help it.
It’s not about eating less or eating carrots and celery only. It’s not about starvation “diets”. It is about getting nutrients to the body so that the muscles, tissues and glands can operate as they were designed to.
And certain exercises will definitely help the chest area - just don’t expect the exercise to do all the work.
Diet, Nutrition and Exercise is a longer but safer route to travel if you want to lose your man boobs forever and avoid gynecomastia surgery.
(just my two cents)
