Achieving a More Youthful You - for Men
Hey, guys - are you over 30? Do you work hard at the gym trying to keep the body in shape, make yourself look younger? Do you try to eat right, chomping down your veggies with your protein? Or do you just wish you worked hard at the gym and ate your veggies, while bemoaning the signs of age creeping up on you and hope the ladies won't notice?
Changes begin to happen in bodies over the age of 30, in both men and women. Endocrine glands produce less and less of their youth-giving hormones on a gradient scale with advancing age. Recent research shows that as the hormones dwindle, the symptoms we think of as signs of age begin to appear, worsening as a body becomes older.
Due to the dwindling amount of hormones in the body, a man can experience hair loss, muscle weakness, low libido, memory loss, weight gain and other symptoms of age. These hormones are very closely related to age, and are responsible for a youthful body. As they decrease, the body ages. Hormones includes such things as human growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and others as well as male and female hormones - testosterone and estrogen.
This is not to say that exercise and diet are not important in keeping a youthful, healthy body. They are very important. A regular exercise program and healthy diet can improve the body, make it appear and feel more youthful. Supplements, vitamins and minerals can also make a difference.
But if the hormones cause these symptoms of old age, and the hormones are dwindling away, why not also replace the hormones? Women have had success with hormone replacement for years - why not for men, too?
Hormone replacement has been shown over and over to be a successful treatment for men, not only for stopping symptoms of age, but in many cases reversing them. If you already have an exercise program and good eating habits, continue them. If not, get some help to get onto an exercise program and good diet. But - very important - see a doctor and find out how to get onto hormone replacement therapy.
You will need to undergo some tests to determine which hormones need to be replaced and the specific amounts required. You need to know that you should use bioidentical hormones as replacements - that is to say you must insist that the replacements are not just some laboratory synthetic, but that they exactly match the hormones that need replacement. And if you need to, get some help from a nutritionist to find out what vitamins and minerals your body might require.
You can do something about that extra weight, hair falling out, low libido and weakness. You can feel more energetic and youthful. No need to feel your age or slow down just because you feel you are getting older. Enjoy the rest of your life.
