Low testosterone linked to early death

Bodybuilders need high testosterone levels to lift heavy, work out hard and grow massive. Testosterone is, quite simply, the lifeblood of muscle building. But there’s only one problem: Stress, pollution and aging all cause testosterone levels to sink. If you’re 30 or older, the situation is worse, as testosterone levels naturally decline at your age.

A new study examining the effects of lower testosterone levels – total and free testosterone – on death rates has found that in addition to causing sexual problems and killing the motivation to train, lower testosterone levels make you 33 percent more likely to die early compared to people with high testosterone levels.

FUSION FACT

Low testosterone levels kill, so keep your test levels high. Exercise, eat right and supplement with a natural testosterone booster. Using a test booster containing the ingredient Testofen is ideal, as this ingredient has been clinically proven to boost testosterone in humans. People who have used Testofen rave about it – it works! Not only will it build muscle, but it also may help you recover faster and possibly even live longer.
