A 2-Minute Cold Shower First Thing – Not at Night
Cold showers aren’t just a wake-up shock – when done at the right time, they may help keep men’s hormones in check.
“Start with just two to three minutes of cold water within half an hour of waking up,” says a men’s health advisor at Ben’s Natural Health.
This timing helps your body reset its daily rhythm and boosts signals that tell your body to produce testosterone and other key hormones. Skip it at night, though — that’s when you want your body calm, not on high alert.

Eat Exactly Two Brazil Nuts – But Not Every Day
Selenium is a mineral that helps your body make testosterone. Brazil nuts are packed with it, but more isn’t better.
“We tell men to stick to two Brazil nuts every other day. That’s plenty,” says a nutrition expert at Ben’s.
That’s about 180–190 micrograms, which research links to better sperm health and hormone balance. More than that, and you risk overdoing it, especially if you’re already taking a multivitamin that has selenium hidden inside.

Stand Up Every 30 Minutes – Or Pay for It Later
Too much sitting messes with blood sugar, and that messes with testosterone.
One big study found that just standing up and moving for five minutes every half hour can cut blood sugar spikes by 34%, which keeps hormones steadier.⁶
“We tell men over 50 to set a phone reminder — stand up, stretch, walk around, do anything. Small breaks help keep your body burning sugar better, and that supports healthy testosterone,” says an advisor at Ben’s Natural Health.
Expert Takeaway
“At Ben’s Natural Health, we remind men that the biggest wins don’t always come from pills or prescriptions. Small daily moves — a quick cold shower, a couple of Brazil nuts every other day, standing up more often — can stack up to big improvements for energy, mood, sex drive, and long-term health,” says a spokesperson.
“It’s about using nature and smart habits to help your body do what it’s designed to do.”
