Age - the Bane of Bodies - for Men
Uncountable paragraphs are written for women about how to look younger, feel younger, turn back the clock. Although there are also articles on the same subject for men, rarely is the basic cause of aging discussed or remedies suggested. Working out at the gym is good. Eating a healthy diet is good. But if you're over 30 and you'd like to do more to handle symptoms of age, read on.
Recent research reveals that a dwindling supply of hormones from the endocrine glands directly correlates with advancing age. This process happens on a gradient - after age 30, the older you get, the less productive the endocrine glands are.
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.
Exercise and healthful diet can play a big part in keeping a body youthful. Vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements are also important.
But men, take a tip from the ladies on hormones - doctors have been prescribing hormone replacement therapy for women for some time. Why not for men, too? Recent research demonstrates that hormone replacement can be just as beneficial for men as for women.
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 enjoy the rest of your life and stop or even reverse those signs of age. You can feel happy, youthful, energetic. You can do something about that extra weight, hair loss, weakness and/or low libido. Naturally. See your doctor.
