How can low testosterone levels affect a man's health?

When we're young, men need testosterone for strength (making tackles) and survival (making babies). As men get older, however, the games change, and we need testosterone for other things-namely to maintain things that influence our quality of life. Unfortunately, many men suffer from testosterone deficiency.

When a man is in his twenties, his testosterone levels usually peak at 900 and 1,200 nanograms per deciliter. They decrease after that, which is probably a good thing for the planet at large. A mild decrease in testosterone might not have much of an effect on men, but a true testosterone deficiency--defined by less than 300 nanograms per deciliter-can cause many problems and should be treated.

Most seriously, testosterone deficiency has also been shown to accelerate coronary artery disease-which can be reversed with replenishment of the hormone. Other effects of low testosterone can include drops in energy, muscle strength, and sexual function. Appropriate testosterone replacement is one option in helping restore libido, erections, and muscle strength, but there's still research that needs to be done to determine whether replacement testosterone has a correlation with prostate cancer (speculation is that it does).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
