Fitness and Sex

Have you checked your weight lately?

Obesity is a condition associated with other serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes. It is also associated with low testosterone levels in men. Excess abdominal fat converts testosterone (male hormone) to estrogen (female hormone), and too much estrogen has a feminizing effect on men.

Excess estrogen can make your penis shrink, making sure you're unable to function sexually. It will also cause you to lose your libido or sex drive.

Testosterone hormone plays a very important role in our body. Besides promoting libido, testosterone for men has other important functions such as:

• maintaining muscle mass
• forming bone tissue
• regulating heart muscles
• managing cholesterol
• helping to improve the oxygen levels throughout the body
• controlling blood glucose
• strengthens the immune system

Obesity and low testosterone levels result in the following symptoms as well:

• Changes in mood (fatigue, depression, anger)
• Decreased body hair (feminization)
• Decreased bone mineral density and possible resulting osteoporosis
• Decreased lean body mass and muscle strength
• Decreased libido and erectile quality
• Increased abdominal fat
• Rudimentary breast development (man boobs)
• Low or zero sperm in the semen

In a study conducted by University at Buffalo endocrinologists, results showed that some 40% of obese men who participated in the Hypogonadism in Males (HIM) study had low testosterone levels. Also, according to Sandeep Dhindsa, MD, an endocrinology specialist in the UB Department of Medicine and first author on the study, "The effect of diabetes on lowering testosterone levels was similar to that of a weight gain of approximately 20 pounds."

For this reason,

"The Endocrine Society now recommends that all men with type 2 diabetes should have their testosterone levels measured. Our new study shows that obese men also have a very high prevalence of low testosterone levels, so physicians should consider screening obese non-diabetic men, as well, for low testosterone."
