Making men more manly could help them prevent Type II diabetes!

by Leigh Andrews, 25 February 2013

It's a fact of life that most men gain weight around their middle section as they age. Now, hope is at hand. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in Australia is testing whether testosterone supplements help men lose the belly fat, that puts them at risk of developing Type II diabetes! But you can also make a few simple lifestyle changes to prevent Type II diabetes…

As men get older and gain weight, they suffer from reduced testosterone levels.

There’s some controversy about whether a drop in testosterone is due simply to age or medical conditions that occur more frequently in older age, reports Bloomberg.

Now, Australian researchers are recruiting Australian men, aged 50 to 74 as they’re most at risk of developing Type II diabetes, to participate in a two-year study.

By giving testosterone supplements to men in that critical pre-diabetes stage, the researchers hope to see reduced cases of Type II diabetes, says the IndianCountryTodayMediaNetwork.

Simple lifestyle changes to prevent Type II diabetes!

But don’t forget that the easiest way to prevent Type II diabetes is by making a few simple lifestyle changes.

For example, you can prevent Type II diabetes and improve your overall health by cutting out all fizzy soft drinks from your diet in favour of fruit juices or water, says Health Bytes.

Here’s what you need to do now to prevent Type II diabetes later – without testosterone supplements

If you have picked up a lot of weight recently and you’re worried about developing Type II diabetes, remember that your first line of defence is losing weight, adopting a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

“Sometimes that’s enough all by itself to keep diabetes under wraps,” says FSP Health.

No matter how old you are, take a look at yourself in the mirror. If you’ve picked up weight around your middle, act now to improve your health later!
