Studies have shown that males, by the age of 60, have much lower testosterone levels that the younger men. According to the April Harvard Heart Letter, it is yet to be discovered if the levels of these men are lower than the other men of their own age.
Millions of people are turning towards testosterone therapy, in order to seek the restoration of physical vitality and to hold back the aging process. The hormone treatments affect the heart, blood vessels, and the circulation of the blood. Theories also predict that the therapy decreases the chances of developing atherosclerosis or diabetes.
The replacement therapies for the testosterone hormone are also considered to have good impacts on HDL (good) cholesterol levels, blood pressure and in increasing the muscle density.
If there are so many positive aspects of testosterone replacement therapies, then why does not everyone consider taking it for the proper functioning of the body? The reason is that men who have normal levels of testosterone will face dire consequences and long-term effects of getting testosterone therapy.
According to the editors of Harvard Heart Letter, it is indicated that men who have enough testosterone development of their own should not get hormonal replacement therapies, or HRT, as they will have adverse affects.
Too much testosterone in the body will result in the increase of side effects including muscle weakness, bone fractures, osteoporosis, dwindling interest in sex, and fatigue.
If you want to approach a hormone therapy as a treatment to for your physical shapelessness or to put an end to the aging signs, you should always consult your physician as unwanted treatment may become fatal.
