For most men, living a healthy lifestyle involves exercising regularly and maintaining a balanced diet. However, no matter how much time they spend working out or running, there may eventually come a time when staying physically active will grow more difficult as they get older. In many of these instances, muscle weakness, constant fatigue, and joint inflammation wear down the body, causing men to lose interest or motivation in adhering to a regular exercise routine. Usually, these issues are simply a result of aging and the natural wear and tear on the body from physical activity. But in other cases, these symptoms can indicate that the body is suffering from a hormone imbalance, such as low testosterone.
Typically, as men reach their 30s and transition into middle age, their testosterone levels start to decline and gradually drop at a rate of 1% yearly. Usually, this isn’t a cause for concern, as many men can still function normally, even in their old age. However, depending on their lifestyle and physiology, some men will experience a significant decrease in their testosterone, which can cause their bodies to exhibit several debilitating symptoms that can affect their physical health, such as:
- Reduced sex drive
- Decreased muscle mass
- Weakened bone density
- Rapid weight gain
- Impaired cognitive function
- Low energy levels
If left untreated, these issues can become the precursors for more serious conditions such as accelerated sarcopenia, osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Low testosterone can also affect how you process stress and lead to certain psychological complications such as depression and anxiety, which can negatively impact your interactions with employees, family, and friends and affect your overall quality of life.
To avoid these serious complications, men with low testosterone need to return their testosterone levels to normal parameters and correct the hormone imbalance, which can be difficult without medical treatment. Luckily, there are treatment options available that can help with that. With male hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from Renew Vitality, men can receive specific hormonal treatments that can provide the additional hormones needed to boost their testosterone levels. Through the innovative procedure of HRT, men can participate in a comprehensive testosterone replacement therapy program to replenish and optimize their low testosterone. With optimized hormone levels, men can experience several remarkable improvements to their physical health, including improved muscle growth, reduced body fat, increased sexual desire, and enhanced cognitive function. As a result, men can feel stronger and more energetic, thus regaining their youthful exuberance as they enjoy a more fulfilling quality of life.
