While you may already know that levels of testosterone in healthy males range between 270 and 1070 ng/dL, you might not be aware of all of the benefits that improved levels of testosterone can provide. Here are six reasons why you might need increased levels of testosterone in your body:
1. More Muscle Mass
24 percent of men over the age of 30 have lower than normal testosterone levels according to ABC News, Low testosterone is a fairly common condition. Men with lower levels of hormone find it difficult to produce new muscle tissue and to maintain existing muscle mass.
Increasing the concentration of testosterone levels to the levels found in healthy males will give you better results in your workout. You will even notice when you are sedentary your muscles do not disappear as rapidly as they did prior to treatment. Testosterone is very involved in muscle building and strength!
2. Improved Weight Control
Maintaining normal testosterone levels makes it easier to lose weight and to keep it off. A healthy testosterone level stabilizes metabolism and encourages you to be more active and to burn calories.
After a few weeks of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), you are likely to find that your diet works more effectively and that you have the freedom to occasionally indulge in deserts and comfort foods previously enjoyed before you started having a weight problem. Best of all, increasing your testosterone levels can help you get rid of persistent abdominal fat that so often appears after the age of 30.
3. Better Libido
One of the biggest gifts of increased testosterone is a surge in energy level, followed by a better sex life. When the testes start flooding the body with testosterone in adolescence, teenage boys and young men usually experience strong sex drives, but many men have not experienced this strong sense of libido since their youth.
With improved testosterone levels, you will swiftly become more interested in sex, and your sexual performance and stamina will likely increase. Men who feel better about their bodies, who are energized and able to function better, begin to regain their masculine confidence.
4. Mood Improvements
Depression and other mood imbalances are on the rise in older men, and insufficient testosterone levels may be one of the chief reasons why this statistic appears to be increasing in men above the age of 40. Testosterone impacts muscle, sexual development, and its effect is evident in the brain. Low testosterone in men leads to a low energy level, a flat mood and in many, depression. Normal testosterone levels help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and insomnia. TRT for men with low testosterone levels will help you regain the emotional resilience and zest for life that you had in your younger years.
5. Faster Thinking
Low testosterone levels decrease your performance in other important ways. Studies have shown that decreased levels of testosterone negatively influence cognitive function. These effects are most often noticed with advancing age. Young men in their prime are known for being fast and assertive in decision making. Cognitive skills often improve, and thinking processes become sharper with TRT.
In tandem with damaging thinking skills, low testosterone levels also reduce your sense of well-being. These issues for men of all ages compromise their ability to compete with healthier men in the arena of work. TRT addresses these problems swiftly in men of all ages suffering from low testosterone levels.
6. Improved Bone Density
Osteoporosis can strike at any age, but your chances of suffering from the serious effects of this disease increase exponentially as you age. Your bone density has a direct effect on your ability to remain active and healthy, which means that every responsible man should look for ways to improve bone density to avoid serious health consequences.
Studies have linked decreased bone density in men to low testosterone. An increase in the level of testosterone improves bone health, and reduces the incidence of fractures.
