The Decline in Men's Testosterone Levels
Testosterone levels in men have been steadily declining worldwide. Studies have shown that testosterone levels and free testosterone levels, in particular, have dropped by almost 50% over the past 20 years. This decline in testosterone has significant implications for men's health, including sexual health, cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, body composition, inflammation, and cognitive function. Factors contributing to the decline in testosterone levels include toxins in the environment, such as endocrine disruptors found in food, water, and personal care products. Lifestyle factors like diet, stress, sleep, and exercise also play a role. It is essential to address these factors to optimize testosterone levels and overall health.
