Improve Your Health and Eliminate Man Boobs!

By Gail M. Davis


Gynecomastia is the medical term for what is commonly referred to as "man boobs." This condition can be caused by serious health issues or as a side-effect of certain medications, and consists of actual breast tissue on males. This condition requires a doctor's care. Pseudogynecomastia is the correct term for fatty tissue on males in the breast area, and can be addressed through diet and exercise.

While results won't be achieved overnight, there are simple steps that can be followed to help eliminate pseudogynecomastia, or "man boobs." Consistent effort will pay off in a big way! Let's look at some of these steps now.

One of the most significant remedies for this problem is to eat healthy on a regular basis. This would require learning about the food pyramid recommendations, learning to read and understand nutrition fact labels, and learning proper portion sizes.

Water should be the main source of hydration! Skim milk and unsweetened tea are acceptable as well, but sweet drinks and drinks containing artificial sweeteners, should be saved for very special occasions. Severely limit all sweet food choices. They provide no nutritional value and slow weight loss.

By far the most important step in the elimination of "man boobs" is the cardio workout! A minimum of thirty minutes each day should be spent on an activity that makes you sweat while huffing and puffing. Jumping rope, biking, swimming laps, playing basketball, running, and power walking all aid in the burning of major calories. Weight training and target exercises are important components also, and should be a part of the daily regime.

By following these steps, pseudogynecomastia can be eliminated or greatly reduced. Patience is imperative as it takes several months for the body to show off the benefits of a new program. There are other easy steps that can be taken to deal with this condition, but these are by far the most important ones.
