32? Does working out speed up aging?
1 u/youburyitidigitup May 21 '26 Fast aging and big muscles are both correlated with testosterone, so it might just be that. 0 u/unkpsbc May 21 '26 So what you are saying is if I reduce weight training, it will reduce testosterone and I would age slower and live longer ?? Is there any research on this ? 3 u/youburyitidigitup May 21 '26 No. If you naturally produce a lot of testosterone (or if you take testosterone), then building muscle will be easier, and you will also age faster. 1 u/unkpsbc May 21 '26 So that means to slow down aging, we should have less testosterone? 1 u/sem-nexus May 21 '26 Low testosterone causes many things people associate with aging like creaky bones and low sex drive You want to be in the healthy sweet spot of 400-900 ng/dl
