This article will list several moving forward, but the primary focus here is to reveal a number of the benefits of maintaining healthy testosterone levels.
Muscle Mass
Beginning with what may be the most popular effect of maintaining healthy testosterone levels – the ability to increase lean muscle mass, you can see that testosterone plays a vital role in the male identity. Testosterone plays an intricate role in protein synthesis, the process that is responsible for rebuilding muscles that have been broken down during glycolytic (high-intensity anaerobic) exercises. The level of testosterone in the body will determine the speed of the healing process, as well as the magnitude of the physical gains in strength and muscle mass.
Ironically, glycolytic training is one of the most effective ways to naturally raise your testosterone levels. Your testosterone levels can remain elevated for as long as 48 hours after an intense workout.

This means that when energy is being expended through physical activity such as a workout, the body cannot access fat cells for the purpose of converting the stored fat into energy – reducing the ability to burn and reduce fat.
There is a cyclical impact associated with this benefit. As elevated testosterone levels help to reduce fat, the lower fat levels actually help to promote testosterone production.

You may view osteoporosis as a bone condition that is exclusive to women, but the truth is that men can suffer from bone deficiencies as well. Low testosterone is one of the primary factors associated with bone weakening in men.
