Hormones Make The Man

Most men believe that the greatest benefit they get from hormones is sex drive and sexual function. But, male hormones can influence much more. Testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), two essential male hormones, can affect many aspects of your health. Testosterone aids in the development of bone, lean muscle and body mass, and cardiovascular function. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in your system and serves as the source for testosterone production. DHEA helps to boost the immune system, decrease blood pressure, regulate sleep and assist in your body's stress response. Both hormones are an effective tool for achieving optimal well-being.

The following checklist can help you determine if your male sex hormones may be out of balance.

• Are you 35 years of age or older?
• Do you often feel fatigued without reason?
• Are you having trouble getting a good night's sleep?
• Do you feel depressed? Irritable?
• Is your sex drive lower than usual? Are you experiencing sexual dysfunction?
• Are you concerned about any immune or cardiovascular diseases?
• Have you experienced recent weight gain and are above your ideal weight?
• Have you noticed differences in skin tone and appearance--the addition of wrinkles?
• Do you have difficulty coping with stress?
• Do you smoke? Do you drink alcohol?

Keeping testosterone and DHEA in balance really does help to make the man. MaleCheck by BodyBalance is a prime way to determine if those hormones are in their proper balance.
