The decrease of testosterone as with HGH (human growth hormone) contributes to the familiar “pot belly” and declining muscle tone in middle-age men. As fat mass increase, energy levels inevitably drop, as well as motivation. Gradually cardiac output declines, lung capacity decreases and other organ functions diminish.
Also, loss of feeling of well-being sometimes manifests as depression and lack of motivation, which is a common psychological complication of hormonal imbalance. Many other diseases that middle-age men begin experiencing attributed to decreasing hormone levels are abdominal weight gain, prostate and heart disease, elevated cholesterol and angina.
