The daily battle of the bulge and aging naturally accelerates estrogen and weight gain in men. Men who are not paying close attention to cardio, diet, exercise, and getting enough sleep later discover the physique they once had in their 20s and early 30s slowly diminishes. Testosterone, the ultimate hormone in men, naturally decreases after age 25. Following the decline of "T," comes the increase of "E." Estrogen, that is. It's not the end of the world for men who experience shrinking levels of this hormone.
Estrogen is the dominant hormone in women. One thing most men don't know is they host small amounts of this hormone in their bodies. And yes, all women have small amounts of testosterone in their bodies. As men continues to age and experience rising levels of estrogen, they can resort to natural approaches to lower estrogen levels.
Benefits of lower estrogen levels in men:
- losing belly fat from past alcohol consumption
- weight loss
- improved physique
- heightened libido
- better REM sleep
- increased positive outlook on life
- increased cardiovascular output (marathon and treadmill)
- less water retention
