Causes: Hyperthyroidism, Tumors of the adrenal glands, , early puberty before the age of 9 years.
Risk: high blood Disease, Sleep apnea, the breasts became larger, fluid retention in the body, Decrease sperm production, skin problems, The emergence of cysts in the prostate
Treatment: men with high testosterone levels are very rare. Generally men have problems with low testosterone. One of the ways for people with lower high testosterone by giving opposite hormones.
Low testosterone:
Symptoms: Fatigue, Strength and muscle mass decreases, low libido, anemia
Mood swings, depression and often angry, osteoporosis, decrease in ejaculate
Cause: Testicular damage, Pituitary gland and hypothalamus were damaged, brain tumors, Klinefelter syndrome, Consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, Drug side effects
Risk: Men who have low testosterone levels have increase risk of Alzheimer's disease, premature death from coronary heart disease is previously owned. Besides other diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and erectile dysfunction
Treatment: hormone therapy, have sex at such high frequencies in the morning, reduce alcohol and smoking, do not easy to stress and fatigue, Sports, Balanced Nutrition.

Low Protein Diet, Reduce Alzheimer's Symptoms
A study applying strict protein diet in rats suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease. The result, when the rats test of the memory using the labyrinth, an increase in cognitive ability than other rats who did not tested a diet.
In addition, only a few of them are abnormal nerve damage due to protein. Abnormal conditions are often known as "tau" is usually accumulates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease..
Protein Diet is the primary way to manage the growth of a hormone known as IGF-1. This hormone is often associated with the aging process and various diseases in mice, as well as several other diseases in elderly humans.
These findings are based on research conducted by Professor Valter Longo of the University of Southern California. "We have found that a deficiency of growth hormone receptor and IGF-1 showed a reduced incidence of cancer and diabetes," says Longo.
Protein Diet reduces the amount of IGF-1 circulation throughout the body by as much as 30 to 70 percent, and cause increased eight fold proteins that can block the effects of IGF-1.
More research needs to be done to determine whether the same response occurs also in humans, as well as to test the effects of dietary protein restriction on cancer, diabetes and heart disease, as well as, of course, to test its security. "However, doctors need to read the results of this research. So, his patients had no other choice, he can consider to introduce restrictions on the protein in her treatment, "Longo hope.
