We're long over due for a proper /fringe/fit/ thread. Here's some of my notes from the last one.
Fringe Fitness & Health Super Thread
/fit/ for wizards
What is fitness? Being fit means
>Competency in biomotor abilities (strength, endurance, power, flexibility, balance, speed, agility, coordination) in relation to needs or goals
>Muscle size, body composition, and activity level that matches needs or goals, not societal definitions or pressures
>Mobile joints & relaxed muscles
>Natural spinal and body alignment fostered by strong bones
>Effortless nasal, diaphragmatic breathing
>Youthful respiratory quotient (optimal body temperature [bellow 36.8 is bad] and pulse rate [75-85])
>Efficient digestion and elimination
>Healthy heart and good circulation (strong pulse and warm extremities, tip of nose)
>Rarely experience sickness
>Excellent sleep, libido, and fertility
>Relaxed yet focused mind
>Positive outlook
Fitness is an essential part of proper initiation. While bodybuilding is not necessary, (and bodybuilding can easily become an egoistic pursuit for "a beautiful body" and not good health!!), proper exercise connects us to our physical vessels, giving us more conscious control over them. And as the cliche points out, "A healthy mind in a healthy body"; a well oxygenated brain strengthens our consciousness, fends off mental haze and sluggishness and improves psychological functions such as memory.
A well-trained body gives a sensation of masculinity and connects us to our bodies from which we have alienated ourselves from… this "quest for maleness" can only be achieved through harsh discipleship and enforcing of the Will. In this understanding, physical exercise becomes also a mental operation which can be likened to Mental Alchemy - by exercising and using our magical abilities, we transform weakness into strength and emasculated men become again Men with a capital M.
tldr; get /fit/, it improves your wizardry, the body is the temple of the living God.

Eat to live, not live to eat.
Ideally you should eat as lightly as possible & as close to nature as possible. This means raw foods, minimal or no processing. And you should eat what your body is engineered to consume, e.g., fruits. Drinking lots of distilled water or urine (which is naturally distilled) is great for your health and will help rid the body of toxic substances.

how to decrease estrogen and increase testosterone naturally
In the past we got phytoestrogen's from foods like flax, soy, tofu, sesame and that was pretty much the only source. But now we have estrogenic compounds in plastics, even the ones considered BPA-free contain chemicals that act as estrogen within the body.
If estrogens in plastics weren't enough estrogens for you already, seed oils which are extremely high in polyunsaturated fat are now being consumed in larger quantities more often than ever before in history. Production, exportation, importation, consumption and use of seed oils continues to grow and shows no signs of stopping. The accumulation of polyunsaturated oils, in tissues promotes the action of estrogen in a variety of ways, and this effect of high amounts of polyunsaturated fat+estrogen tends to be cumulative, and to be self-accelerating. BY FAR the biggest source of polyunsaturated in the human diet is seed oils.
The estrogen-promoting actions of seed oils apply to all of the commonly used polyunsaturated fatty fats. They suppress thyroid function and have estrogenic effects.
Alcoholic drinks are estrogenic.
Alcoholic beverage congeners exerted estrogenic effects both in an experimental animal model and in post-menopausal women.
The estrogenic effects of alcoholic beverage congeners were detectable using a variety of estrogenic markers, including the pituitary hormones LH (in OVEX rats and postmeno-pausal women), FSH, and prolactin (in postmenopausal women); uterus weight (in OVEX rats); and the estrogen-responsive liver proteins HDL cholesterol and SHBG (in postmenopausal women)

So today, we've got phytoestrogens in food, estrogenic compounds in plastics and then we've got high-polyunsaturated oils all together causing men to have higher estrogen and lower testosterone than any other time in history.
So what can you do?
The avoidance of stress is the basic principle for preventing the development of the estrogen dominant state. Progesterone is the natural counterpart to estrogen but it is also the hormonal precursor to your stress hormones, such as cortisol. When you are stressed your body makes cortisol to help combat the effects of stress. Progesterone is the precursor molecule to cortisol, therefore an increase need for cortisol leads to a decline of progesterone. A lack of progesterone can then allow estrogen to dominant.
In conclusion: avoid stress, stop eating high phytoestrogen foods (soy, flax, tofu), stop eating seed oils (corn, soy, canola, peanut, vegetable, grapeseed, rice bran etc. olive and coconut are fine), stop eating fast food, stop cooking foods in non-food safe plastic, stoop drinking from plastic water bottles, stop drinking alcohol
And if you want to increase estrogen and lower test well
do the opposite and lead the way to an early grave.
