Warning: Dehydration saps testosterone, according to a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Scientists found that men who were dehydrated prior to a workout had lower T levels, compared with when they had consumed plenty of water beforehand. A potential mechanism: The water-depleted lifters also had higher levels of Cortisol, a stress hormone that may depress testosterone, says study author Dan Judelson, Ph.D. His suggestion; At least 4 hours before you lift, consume about 0.1 ounce of fluid per pound of body weight. (A 180-pound man would drink 18 ounces.) Water is an obvious choice, but other beverages can help keep you hydrated, too.
