For Men Only - Reverse Ravages of Time

October 28th, 2009

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.

These dwindling hormones are very closely related to the cause of aging. This includes not just hormones thought of as male and female hormones - testosterone and estrogen - but also human growth hormone and thyroid hormone and others. Lack of these hormones causes muscle weakness, memory loss, hair loss, weight gain, libido problems and a myriad of other symptoms of age.

Exercise and healthful diet can play a big part in keeping a body youthful. Vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements are also important.

So why not replace those missing hormones? Women have been doing this successfully for years, but it can work for men as well.

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.

When you see a competent doctor concerning hormone replacement, the doctor will give you some medical tests. These tests determine how much of which hormones you would need to restore the hormone levels to a time when you were younger. This varies from person to person. An important thing you should know is that when getting hormone replacements, make sure they are bioidentical - that is to say, not synthetic, but biologically exactly the same as the hormones the body produces.

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.

Male Change Of Life

October 13th, 2009

You will often read in the news and online the symptoms, treatments and problems that women have with menopause. Seldomly is the issue of the physical changes and problems that occur when a male gets older spoken about.

The male body has a gradual decrease in the production of testosterone. The decline of the hormone creates certain manifestations such as:

* Feeling tired often, not feeling rested

* Bad tempered

* Being moody, including being depressed

* Muscle size and strength reduction, becoming flabby

* Losing bone mass which shows in later years as shrunken in height

* Loss of libido

* Problems sleeping

The posture and structure of the body starts to change as early as the late 30’s and continues to charge through till older age. A man may start with a little extra weight around his waist and as time goes by, more weight is added on. Then the back starts to hunch and the muscles start to become flab, too. Then as one becomes older and older, he shrinks in height.

In the days gone by, men would just take it in stride and not pay attention to old age setting in. His loved ones would notice the extra pounds, the posture and know that was what happened in life, he was just getting old.

The truth is, modern men do not have to continue in agreement with their forefathers, just as women of today do not have to. The simple remedy is to naturally correct the hormone balance.

Instead of animal, synthetic or chemical hormone therapy, a modern man can receive hormone tests by a qualified physician and receive BHRT. BHRT is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It uses natural ingredients to balance all the hormones, not just testosterone. By doing so, men can enjoy a new vigor for life.
