Testosterone Aging Research Paper

However, aging is not the only thing we have to worry about. The average testosterone production in a research study showed that men in the last 20 years have decreased by up to 30%. This is not implying all men fall into this category - but the average man does. We see this by the growing number of men with excessive body fat who lack the energy to feel satisfied with their daily movements.
The rise in healthcare costs for obesity, or patients suffering from symptoms related to obesity (heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure), is further proof that testosterone production is decreasing, and proper dieting is just thrown in the garbage.

 ESTROGEN
Estrogen is the primary hormone for the female body, but both men and women require this hormone to properly function. We often assume that men have no need for estrogen, but on the contrary it is very much required to keep your body in perfect hormonal balance.
This essential hormone is only good for our bodies in the right amount, and when levels begin to rise we suffer negative effects similar to having low testosterone, but the exception being the possibility of growing man breasts (yes, it actually happens) and having decreased sex drive (libido).
Your body gaining fat is a reason behind the production of extra estrogen as well. High percentages of body fat can cause a man’s body to convert testosterone into estrogen through the aromatase enzyme, which is known as aromatization.
You can prevent this increase in estrogen by keeping your body fat at lower percentages. Then avoid eating foods containing soy, deriving from legumes, and those containing high amounts of pesticides. Stress and toxins from plastic containers also cause estrogen
