Testosterone
Battles
Making
what you have last longer
 Aging
is not for sissies. Among other indignities, an average
guy will lose 12 to 20 pounds of muscle, 15 percent
of his bone density and two inches of height en route
to his golden years.
His
counts of oxygen-carrying red blood cells will also
drop. And it’s no secret that sexual vigor tends
to diminish with age.
A
good diet and an exercise regimen that balances aerobics
with strength training can keep muscles and bones remarkably
strong.
A
healthy lifestyle can do more than medicines to prevent
diabetes, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis—the
diseases that underlie erectile dysfunction in about
50 percent of men over 75.
But
lifestyle changes take work. Many men turn to Natural
Testosterone Enhancers (NTE) such as African Fly for
help.
Testosterone
is essential for the development of male genitals during
fetal life, it triggers the dramatic events of puberty
and it is necessary for libido and fertility throughout
maturity.
The
hormone also stimulates muscles, bones and red blood
cells. Testosterone levels surge at puberty, peak at
about 17 and remain high for the next couple of decades.
But beyond 40, testosterone levels fall.
Unlike
the sharp drop in estrogen that women experience at
menopause, the decline in testosterone
is gradual, averaging just over 1 percent a year.
One percent is not much, but by 70 or so, it adds up
to a 30 percent decline.
Can
supplementary testosterone
turn back the clock?
Most
men have plenty of testosterone to spare, so levels
remain within the normal range in at least 75 percent
of senior citizens.
Men
who are truly testosterone deficient (hypogonad) should
receive treatment. But even if your testosterone levels
are normal, extra testosterone will boost your muscle
mass and red-blood-cell counts.

That’s
why so many competitive athletes abuse steroids. Natural
Testosterone Enhancers are much safer than the huge
doses used by some jocks. But testosterone may have
adverse effects on a man’s cholesterol and cardiovascular
risk.
Should
you join the more than 1 million men with normal hormone
levels who are getting testosterone prescriptions from
their doctors?
Testosterone
is the most important male hormone, but there are other
androgens. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione
(“andro”) are weaker androgens that decline
with age.
Both
are freely available without prescription. DHEA is heavily
promoted as an antidote to aging, and andro is touted
to boost athletic performance.
Careful
studies have failed to show benefit from these preparations,
and they do have potential risks. For safety’s
sake, wait for more studies.
Testosterone is the hormone of choice for hundreds of
thousands of middle-aged men determined to stave off
the aging symptoms, including erectile dysfunction and
loss of libido, that have come to be known by some as
andropause, the male version of menopause.
Can
the potential benefits of naturally supllementing testosterone
outweigh the potential risks?
Professors
at Harvard Medical School have analyzed dozens of short-term
studies and are convinced the treatment is safe for
men who don’t have prostate cancer.
The
studies show there is a good chance we’re going
to find out that testosterone is actually beneficial
for health. Besides restoring libido, testosterone has
been shown to improve bone density and muscle mass.
And
a small study done at Boston’s McClean Hospital
this year suggests that, when used in conjunction with
antidepressants, testosterone may improve depression
in difficult-to-treat men.
African
Fly has been used to increase the testosterone levels
and sex drive in men for years. Guys who use it for
sex, work outs or penis enhancement all agree that it
does what it says!
