Diet and Exercise Will Eliminate Man Boobs!

By: Gail M. Davis "Man boobs" is a rather crude, but common term used to describe a condition known as gynecomastia. This condition affects up to 40% of all adolescent males during puberty, but the vast majority grows out of it and requires no special treatment. Technically, gynecomastia refers to the presence of actual breast tissue and can be a serious condition, requiring medical care. Pseudogynecomastia is the more common condition and refers to fatty tissue that 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.
Eliminating sweets from the diet is another important step. This would especially include sweet drinks and drinks containing artificial sweeteners. Water should be your main beverage of choice. Skim milk and unsweetened tea are acceptable as well. At the same time, severely limit sweet foods. They provide nothing of value to the diet.
Probably the single most important factor in the battle against "man boobs" is an exercise program! Weight training and target exercises should be two components, but the cardio workout is by far the most important. A minimum of thirty minutes each day should be spent sweating, huffing and puffing! Running, biking, playing basketball, jumping rope, swimming laps...all can be good cardio workouts.
There are other easy steps that can be taken to deal with this condition, but these are by far the most important ones. Patience is necessary as it takes several months for the body to display the benefits of a new program. By following these steps, pseudogynecomastia can be eliminated or greatly reduced.
