February is Heart Health Month

How men can improve heart health

February is Heart Health Month, and it’s the perfect time for men to take a look at their own heart health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States.

Fortunately, there are some simple steps that all men can take to ensure that their hearts stay healthy. One of these steps is to check for and treat low testosterone, as this has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Here’s what you need to know about low testosterone and how it can be treated at Alpha Advantage.

What is Low Testosterone?

Low testosterone, or “low T,” occurs when a man produces less than the normal level of testosterone in his body. It’s often caused by aging but can also be due to certain medications or medical conditions. Symptoms of low T include fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood swings and depression, loss of muscle mass and bone density, and decreased concentration.

How Low Testosterone Affects Heart Health

Recent research has linked low T with an increased risk for heart disease in men. This means that treating low testosterone not only improves quality of life but could also reduce a man's risk for developing serious heart conditions such as stroke and coronary artery disease. That's why it's so important for men to have their testosterone levels checked regularly during Heart Health Month—and throughout the year—to make sure they remain within a healthy range.
