Thanks for the info....I may have to do that...i don't want to be old and fat like most of Florida is when I turn 50.
question though....if i go hard with the weights ie try to add more muscle mass, is that a good or bad thing heading into my 40's? I've heard from some that it can mess up your knees and joints even more ....
PH balance is especially important as you get older, as, an acidic body will deplete bone of calcium deposits thus causing osteoporosis and cancer.
Cancer and disease is easily treated.
Don't be fooled by our $$ driven pharmaceutical drug pushing media.
At your age, I would suggest an aromatase inhibitor. As you age your endogenous testosterone levels decline rapidly, you put on excess adipose tissue and with that comes the increase of aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme that essentially converts testosterone into estrogen. Estrogen causes weight gain, loss of muscle tissue, and lethargic feeling.
I would also suggest that you look into Hormone Replacement Therapy. Go to an endocrinologist to check your natural testosterone levels. If you would rather not use modern day pharmaceutical science you can give Alpha Male a try at
www.t-nation.com They have an awesome product line.
let me know if you have any questions regarding HRT.
Muscle mass is always a good thing, as it raises your metabolic rate, thus giving you a buffer for a more flexible diet.
