Are your workouts flagging or have you just given up on the whole exercise thing altogether? It might be your testosterone, and for a lot of men, that’s normal. 1 in 4 men has low testosterone, and there are strong links to low T and other diseases like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

Testosterone replacement therapy can help, and after 40 you should get your levels checked on a regular basis. Most men will reach a point in their lives when testosterone therapy or growth hormone therapy is right for them. Studies show that testosterone therapy may help you regain your youthful vigor, and help you go through the aging process with a healthier mind, body, and attitude. If you’re considering going through testosterone replacement therapy, here are some of the benefits you should consider.
 

More Muscle

Research shows that as you age, you tend to store more fat than muscle. When you receive testosterone therapy, you become leaner and your fat deposits dwindle. A leaner body mass increases your energy and helps with your weight control. It’s also important to get that regal weekly exercise. In a recent study where a group of men received testosterone therapy, they gained muscle mass but didn’t improve their strength. That extra muscle mass needs to be built upon with healthy fitness. Your muscles are your foundation, you want to take care of them. Then you can reap the benefits of having a leaner, stronger, and fitter body.
 

Blood and Cardiac Health

Scientific findings maintain that testosterone aids in the production of red blood cells in your bone marrow. With enough healthy red blood cells, your organ systems function more efficiently. Your cardiovascular system becomes healthier as well. Research also shows that an increase in testosterone can make your heart stronger.
 

Better Cognition

Higher testosterone levels may lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. A specific study found links between testosterone therapy in a group of men 34 to 70 years of age and improved spatial memory.
 

Higher Bone Density

As men age, testosterone levels decrease and bone density lowers. This makes them prone to osteoporosis. Scientific evidence suggests that testosterone is important for bone density. When bone density improves, vital organs and muscles gain more support.
 

Lighter Mood

Specialists say that men with low testosterone levels may have a correlation with irritability, depression, and fatigue. In a study of men with hypogonadism taking testosterone, results indicated they had decreased irritability and fatigue. Also, they experienced improved well-being and mood. Testosterone replacement therapy can even be a potential treatment for depression. Increased energy and a healthy body, can lead to a healthy mind.
 

Buildup in Libido

There is a natural increase in testosterone levels during sexual activity and arousal, and some men use testosterone to help with their sexual performance and libido. Sexual dysfunction can come from a variety of causes. Internal and external. Hormone imbalances, stress, blood pressure, general mood, or anxiety. All these things can lead to E.D. Maintaining good testosterone levels will contribute to good sexual health.
