2 Reasons Why You’re Losing Muscle as You Age

Aging can bring about a wide range of problems for men, but muscle loss is one that few men are expecting. As you age, your muscles become more atrophied and weaker, making it harder to perform the same functions that you used to. At the Oklahoma Men’s Clinic, we specialize in muscle loss for aging men, offering treatment options that help gain muscle back. We know that muscle loss can be frustrating and even scary for some individuals. It’s important to understand the underlying issues of muscle loss, in order to mitigate or reverse your muscle loss. The following are just two of the reasons you might be experiencing muscle loss, as well as ways you can work on gaining muscle back.

Muscle Loss Comes with Lower Testosterone
As men age, their testosterone levels dip. This is because the production of testosterone decreases significantly the older men get. This lower level of testosterone can cause a variety of negative problems, including lack of sleep, lowered energy, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, and muscle loss. Because testosterone is important in the building of muscle, a lower level of testosterone can cause muscle loss. It’s important to get treatment for low testosterone in order to gain muscle back. Testosterone treatments are easy and effective, and many men have found that these treatments are successful at gaining muscle as well.

Muscle Loss Comes from a Lack of Use
As we age, we may become more inactive. It can be harder to exercise the older you get. Because of the way our bodies are built, muscles can atrophy and break down from lack of use. For older men who may not exercise enough, muscle loss can easily occur. Muscle loss is easy to treat, through the use of easy and effective exercises. At the Oklahoma Men’s Clinic, we specifically offer fun and easy exercises to encourage muscle building.
