Why Testosterone Levels Are At Historic Lows and What You Can Do About It

Testosterone levels among American men have rapidly declined over the past few decades. While testosterone levels are known to naturally decline with age, studies showthat a 65-year-old male in 1987 had approximately 17 percent higher testosterone than a 65-year-old man in 2004. While the exact cause of this decline isunknown, evidence suggests there could be a number of reasons, including rising rates of obesity, pollution, and industrial pollutants.

3 ways to lower your risk of Low Testosterone
Here are three ways to increase testosterone levels naturally:

1. Exercise regularly
   Lifting weights and high-intensity interval training are very effective for increasing testosterone levels. Also, a little weight training goes a long way toward decreasing your risk for certain diseases.
2. Eat a healthy diet
   Eat plenty of whole foods with a healthy balance of fats, proteins, and carbs. This strategy can optimize hormone levels—and long-term health.
3. Reduce stress
   Stress causes an increase in cortisol, a hormone that works in opposition to testosterone. The higher your cortisol levels, the lower your testosterone levels.

4 treatment options for Low Testosterone
Testosterone replacement therapy is a fast, safe, and effective way to restore hormone levels. This helps increase libido and energy levels as well as improves symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Here are four hormone replacement treatment options:

1. Injections
   Testosterone injections are intramuscular and deposited in the top outside region of the thigh or the upper back portion of the butt cheek.
2. Pellet therapy
   Pellet therapy is an excellent option for men who travel frequently or are otherwise unable to get regular injections.
3. Gels
   Gels are applied topically (directly to the skin), most commonly across the shoulders, back, chest, or abdomen.
4. Patches
   Testosterone patches last for up to 24 hours and may be applied to the back, abdomen, stomach, thigh or upper arm.
