The importance of the men’s hormone for the male body is difficult to overestimate, because its deficiency significantly affects the health. For men as for women, it is very important to maintain the level of hormones with age, because in the process of restructuring the hormonal background, all other indicators fluctuate. So, the highest value of testosterone level in the representatives of the stronger sex can be traced, as a rule, at the age of up to 30 years. After this age limit, testosterone drops in the main from 1 to 2% per year. Thus, it is easy to calculate that after 40 years the concentration of this androgen in the body is lower by approximately 15% of the initial value.
The external signs of a drop in testosterone level are traditionally attributed to a decrease in muscle mass, an increase in the fat percentage, as it directly affects the metabolism. The drop in its levels slows metabolism, accelerating the aging process. The representative of the stronger sex begins to grow chest, abdomen and thighs. In addition, reducing the amount of hair on the face and body will also talk about lowering the testosterone level. From the point of view of the physical health of the body, serious and unpleasant problems can arise, such as reproductive dysfunction and a reduction in the level of erection, and, as a consequence, loss of interest in sex. As a result of hormonal imbalance, a variety of endocrine disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system and the musculoskeletal system begin. And the most important that it can cause erectile dysfunction.
As a result, not only the quality of a man’s life suffers but there is an extremely serious risk of early death from the above diseases. As for behavioral changes, in men with reduced testosterone there is high irritability, fatigue, lethargy, apathy, uncaused mood swings (the body reduces the amount of testosterone by increasing the production of female sex hormones), lack of initiative and loss of interest in life as a whole.
It is interesting that by measuring the circumference of a man’s waist, one can draw conclusions about his erectile function, and about the level of testosterone, respectively. So, the ideal number will be 90-94 cm. Waist size more than 102 cm is extremely undesirable and dangerous. What are the causes of this hormonal malfunction and how can you delay its onset? First of all, it is necessary to adhere to the right way of life. In particular, monitor your diet. Products such as vegetables, fruits, fish oil, lean meat and foods rich in protein and fiber, must necessarily be present in the diet of the stronger sex. But from excessive passion for alcohol (especially beer), tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, fast food, fatty meat and smoked products will have to be abandoned (full list). Sufficient sleep is also an important factor in maintaining the hormonal health of men. It is also important to observe the time of going to bed strictly until midnight. Only in this way the body will be able to make up for the lack of hormones and regulate their activity in a natural way. Hypodinamia and lack of a constant sexual life also leads to a decrease in the level of the main male hormone. Moderate physical training (running, swimming, gymnastics) and regular sex will be excellent preventive measures in the fight for high testosterone level.
Its values are also affected by poor ecology, the intake of certain medications and the severe stresses that modern men are constantly exposed to. Therefore, stress resistance and the development of their own measures to combat stress, stay outdoors, walk in the park or out of town, control the intake of a number of medications will prolong male health for a considerable period of time. The right way of life, rejection of addictions, motor activity, control of body weight and nutrition, healthy sleep and regular sex life are all natural ways to maintain a high level of testosterone.
However, there are cases when it is impossible to do without a drug correction for hormonal disorders. Treatment in this case is reduced to the use of substitution or stimulating therapy. In the first case, the deficiency of its own hormone is compensated by appropriate medical preparations in various forms: ointments, pills, patches, injections. The essence of the second method is to increase the ability of the body to produce its own testosterone. In any case, the hormone therapy should appoint a doctor. Self-medication can lead to undesirable consequences and even worsen the condition. In general, the positive attitude and ability to enjoy life in combination with the constant development of male character traits, such as dedication, will, fighting spirit, will help to save health and youth for a long time to any man.
