A recent study has given one more benefit of losing weight to overweight, middle-aged men as losing weight is told to be increasing the production of testosterone. There are numerous benefits of losing weight but it is highly imperative that these benefits are being made aware of one and all. For the research, 891 middle-aged men, with an average age of 54 years were recruited and were made to go through various lifestyle modifications.

"Doctors should first encourage overweight men with low testosterone levels to try to lose weight through diet and exercise before resorting to testosterone therapy to raise their hormone levels”, said Frances Hayes, co-author of the study from St. Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin. It has also been found that those who try hard to shed kilos are more likely to delay or avoid the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes and that’s what makes it all the more imperative that efforts are being made in the same context. Small changes in the lifestyle can make a hell lot of difference in one’s life.

While the study is getting the attention of one and all, the results are expected to be presented on Monday at The Endocrine Society's 94th Annual Meeting in Houston.
