This could quite be true as more men are seen hitting the gym in the name of eliminating man boobs. Commonly genetically triggered, man boobs are also mainly triggered by a poor diet. In this case, a poor diet doesn’t mean you lack enough antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in your meals, but rather an excessive intake of fatty, sugary, and starchy foods. Man boobs in this category are termed as “Pseudogynecomastia”
Another form of man boobs is described as gynecomastia and in this case, a hormonal imbalance is the trigger factor. Gynecomastia is an endocrine system disorder that is associated with the enlargement of the glandular tissue. This breast tissue is small compared to that size of the breast tissue in females.
As the breast tissue in females continuously develops from the puberty stage, the breast tissue in males must remain undeveloped. This is mainly controlled by the male hormones that regulate the extent of development to control the breast size.
However, genes or a sedentary life together with increased female hormones may lead to gynecomastia development
How to get rid of man boobs?
There are various ways through which a man can get rid of the man boobs. These range from clinical to home methods as explained below;
Gynecomastia Surgery
Surgery is the ultimate solution to Gynecomastia in India. This approach involves making an incision in an appropriate breast region as the surgeon may observe. Specialized instruments are used to remove the glandular tissue that is the main cause of the enlarged breasts.
After the surgery, your chest will be swollen and bruised, but a compression garment will help reduce these within a few weeks. Normally, men who attain a gynecomastia surgery are those with extremely large breasts or those who fail to get the desired results in other approaches
Liposuction
It is a surgical approach where the fat in the breasts is melted and sucked out via a cannula. Normally, males with only excessive fatty tissue are helped through this approach, but in case of the presence of fatty tissue and a glandular tissue, liposuction is used with the genuine gynecomastia surgery
Dietary Approach
It is for the beginners and those categorized under type-1 obesity or overweight. You will have to get rid of processed or fast foods and start having home-made meals. In home-made meals, avoid excessive starchy carbs and sugars, but rather, have healthy protein foods, water, and mineral sources, especially from fruits
Physical Exercises
You will have to get active on a daily basis. Dedicate at least one hour to an effective physical exercise programme.
