Men's Menopause

Men also have menopause
As we age, the body's functions will naturally age. After the age of 30, testosterone declines by about 10% every 10 years, and the decline in organ function becomes more pronounced after the age of 40. It is worth noting that about 1/3 of men over the age of 40 have low testosterone, which can be regarded as a warning sign for men's health.
"Testosterone is responsible for maintaining the normal functioning of male physiology and psychology, and it has an important impact on health, including sexual desire, physical strength, metabolism, immune function, osteoporosis, etc. When testosterone is too low, it will produce physical and mental disorders such as easy to feel tired, sensitivity and irritability, insomnia, depression, low sexual function, etc. It will also affect blood sugar metabolism and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is medically known as "male menopause".
Ways to improve male menopause
In addition to seeking professional medical treatment or psychological counseling, the following three methods can help alleviate the symptoms of male menopause.
1. Improve lifestyle habits
Poor lifestyle habits such as staying up late, smoking and drinking can cause a decrease in testosterone levels, which can lead to many menopausal discomfort symptoms. Maintaining a good lifestyle can improve the testosterone imbalance.
2. Regular exercise
Obesity is closely related to low testosterone. Doing regular exercise and keeping good physical management, controlling BMI below 24, can greatly help delay male menopause symptoms.
3. Nutritional supplement
Eating more antioxidant, natural foods that contain high quality nutrients, such as nuts, oysters, salmon, eggs, or supplementing with natural whole food forms of vitamin B complex, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, zinc and other nutrients can help boost testosterone levels.
