TESTOSTERONE WOES

Take a look at these scary facts…

FACT #1: By the age of 25, a man’s testosterone levels begin  to decline, and continue to do so as you age. Testosterone plays a role in your fat-burning, recovery, ability to keep and build muscle, and… your sex drive. 

Check out what Dr. Thomas Travison and colleagues from the New  England Research Institute in Watertown, Massachusetts, found:

“The average levels of the male testosterone hormone dropped by 1 percent a year. This means that, for example, a 65-year-old man in 

2002 would have testosterone levels 15 percent lower than those of  a 65-year-old in 1987.”

FACT #2: Studies show that men with low testosterone have a  higher incidence of the following health problems:

  •     Type 2 diabetes
  •   Infertility and poor reproductive health
  •   More belly fat and total body fat, and less muscle mass
  •   Less muscle growth from strength training
  • Poorer athletic performance
  •   Slower recovery from intense training
  • Greater risk of prostate cancer

So even if you’re training hard and eating better, you may not be making progress because you lack testosterone.
