For one reason or another, enlargement of the mammary glands seems to occur in a certain percentage of the male population.
The problem of getting rid of man boobs, as they're popularly called in today's media and on late-night comedy shows, should be a priority for the male who suffers from this enlargement.
Men and women, as part of their biological makeup, are equipped with mammary glands.
In fact, every mammalian species is equipped with them.
In humans, there are two, and both the male and the female can make milk - called lactation - if the need arises.
This is ancient biological response, so there's no shame that should be attached to the issue of enlargement of these glands in males.
Rather, we should be looking at methods and procedures for reducing their size.
In males undergoing puberty, there's always a slight enlargement of these glands.
This is a normal part of maturation.
In cases such as this, waiting for the process to play itself out will generally result in the rest of the torso and chest area catching up with the developed "man boob" area, and nothing more need be done.
In cases where you've gone past puberty and are approaching the age of 30 and notice they're still enlarging, it may be time to look at revising your diet and adding a bit more exercise into your life.
In 90 percent of all cases, simple cardio-aerobic exercising like running and light weightlifting can have an immediate impact.
Once you eliminate high-calorie fatty-foods as a steady part of your diet, your man boob problem should disappear.
In a small number of cases, a hormonal imbalance can lead to breast enlargement in males.
In instances like these, you should consult with your family physician for follow-up care.
Getting rid of man boobs is a generally simple process, if you look at things with a clear eye and little emotion.
