EFAs The Building Blocks of Testosterone
EFAs The Hormone Builders
EFAs the hormone Builders – Essential Fatty Acids EFAs are the body’s natural building blocks (substrates) of anabolic steroids/testosterone—produced from cholesterol. EFAs are often over looked as an “answer” to increased athletic performance.
EFAs are the body’s natural building blocks (substrates) of anabolic steroids—produced from cholesterol. High quality EFA supplementation is “the answer” to increased athletic performance.
Cholesterol is the substrate of the body’s natural anabolic steroid production. Never forget the significant EFA component is esterified to cholesterol. If this component is defective, the natural anabolic steroid production will not be maximized!
In an effort for many bodybuilders and fitness athletes to lose weight they reduce their overall dietary fat intake to sub maximal levels resulting in a significant drop in natural testosterone levels. This is obviously directly related to those athletes that are training without the aid of anabolic hormones, or what we refer to as natural athletes.
This is yet another reason why it is vital for any natural athlete looking to maintain lean muscle mass while dropping subcutaneous body fat to supplement their diet with a precise blend of EFAs that contain all the Parent Essential Oils. This will provide the body with the substrates to manufacture natural testosterone.
If testosterone levels fall below sub par levels it will also impact the bodies ability to burn fat due to a higher ratio of estrogen to testosterone. A study from The School of Allied Health and Community, University of Worcester showed that a low fat diet significantly lowered testosterone levels in men. Study Link.
Estrogen dominance leads to the accumulation of body fat around the stomach, thighs and hips.
EDUCATED ATHLETES AND COACHES UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANT OF EFAS
A truly educated athlete or coach understands how vital Essential Fatty Acid supplementation is to achieve peak physical condition. Without EFAs the bodies oxygen transfer system is disrupted resulting in extreme lactic acid levels that will limit workout performance. On top of reduced testosterone levels that will essentially lead to muscle loss and fat gain, or at the most difficulty in reducing stubborn fatty deposits.
The same rules apply to both male and female athletes. An extremely low fat diet when preparing for an event is a bad choice and should be avoided.
The two most important macro nutrients for a performance athlete are proteins and fats, carbohydrate comes in well behind these two important elements.
Your body can derive energy from fats as it is the preferred fuel of choice.
Fats also have minimal effect on blood sugar levels, in fact EFA’s help to maintain a more stable insulin level.
Finally supplementing with YES Ultimate EFA’s provides the precise ratio of Parent Essential Oils to achieve peak athletic performance and to assist those looking to optimize their lean muscle to fat ratios.
