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.
