02 Jun 08 Testosterone Levels Linked to Good Health

If you talk to a doctor, he will tell you that normal testosterone levels are about 350 to 1000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl). that’s a pretty broad range to call normal. May be we should refer to “healthy levels of testosterone instead. After the age of 40, your male hormone level declines about 1 % per year. To be sure, that slow decline is harmless over the shot term, but the long tern effects can be devastating to your health.

Testosterone levels on the low range have now been associated with death from a heart attack. So, if you are an older male being treated for a previous heart attack, why hasn’t your physician mentioned this? Why has he not tested your testosterone levels? You;d better find a new doctor in my opinion!
