Weight Gain Lowers Testosterone Levels
If you are an overweight male and have been looking for a really good reason to lose weight, this is it: Those love handles are zapping your manhood.
Researchers in New England tracked the testosterone levels of 584 men from 1987 to 2004 and found that gaining weight causes a drop in testosterone levels equivalent to 10 years of aging. Ouch!
Study results found that for every 10 years of life, men who added four to five points to their body mass index (BMI) experienced a 28 percent higher drop in total testosterone than their normal-weight peers. [source: Best Life]
