How To Get Rid Of Man Boobs Permanently: Tall, Obese Males Have Much Higher Risk Of Blood Clot In Deep Veins

How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.

Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

Tall, obese individuals have a significantly higher risk of developing blood clots in veins deep in the body, this is especially the case for men, Norwegian researchers revealed in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

The authors explain that obese individuals are known to have a higher risk of developing clots in deep veins, especially in the lower limbs, as well as clots in blood vessels of the lungs (pulmonary embolism) - which can strain the heart and cause sudden death. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to both these conditions.

Sigrid K. Braekkan, Ph.D., from the Hematological Research Group at the University of Troms�, Norway, and team compared tall obese men to short-normal weight men (BMI 25, 5ft 7.7 inches tall) and tall, obese women to short normal weight women (up to 5ft 2.6 inches tall). The risk of VTE (age-adjusted) was:

In obese, tall men - 5.28 times higher
In obese, tall women - 2.77 times higher
In normal weight, tall men - 2.57 times higher
In normal weight tall women (over 5ft 6 inches) - no increased risk
In obese, short men - 2.11 times higher
In obese, short women - 1.83 times higher

They found that the risk of developing VTE among tall, obese males was similar to the risk that exists in pregnancy, using oral contraceptives, or having a gene for an inherited predisposition to clotting (Factor V Leiden).

Braekkan said:

"We believe that we observed the increased risk in tall and normal-weight men, but not women, because most women do not get sufficiently tall. The risk may be present in very tall women, but there were too few to investigate this properly."

The authors believe further studies are required to find out what mechanisms are at play in tall, obese individuals regarding VTE risk.

Braekkan said:

"In tall people the blood must be pumped a longer distance by the calf-muscle pump, which may cause reduced flow in the legs and thereby raise the risk of clotting.
Understanding and preventing VTE is important because even the first occurrence may be fatal. Obesity, in combination with other VTE risk factors, has been shown to substantially increase the risk, so we wanted to assess the combined effects of tall stature and obesity."

The investigators gathered data from the Troms� study. Troms� is a Norwegian town in which periodic health surveys of adults aged 25 to 97 years are carried out. The height and weight of 26,714 adult males and females were collected, and were followed up for a median of 12.5 years, up to 2007. A total of 461 VTEs occurred.

Obese people have high pressure in the abdomen, this can undermine the calf-muscle pump's ability to return the blood from the lower limbs.

Braekkan said:

"Obesity is also linked to a state of constant low-grade inflammation, and inflammation may render blood more susceptible to clotting."

When assessing their patients' overall risk for dangerous clots, doctors should take into account their height and weight, the authors wrote.

Braekkan said:

"Since body height is not easy to modify, the most important thing is to stay slim, especially if you are tall."

According to the American Heart Association, over 275,000 individuals are hospitalized in the USA annually with deep vein clots or pulmonary embolism.
