‘Man-boobs’ can be caused by a hormone imbalance between testosterone and estrogen....

If you are one of those men with large mammary glands, aka man boobs, chances are you could be suffering from a condition known as gynecomastia (remember the name). This is a condition characterized by the development of large mammary glands that lead to breast enlargement in men.

It may not be from easting too much junk, no. Rather, it can come naturally from infanthood when the boy child receives a dose of female hormones from their mother, in other cases, any time from adolescence onwards. Gynecomastia normally occurs when the levels of testosterone drop, but estrogen levels remain the same. This could be as a result of the body not receiving proper nutrition, or when it ages and so on. Just like their opposite numbers’, male breasts can also be asymmetrical.
When these man boobs cause extreme distress, breast reduction surgery is recommended. However, in cases where this condition is caused by poor nutrition (read junk food), testosterone levels can be brought up to normal levels by, you guessed it, improving one’s diet. Guys, cut the junk.
