A well-known sex researcher has studied the health awareness of men and found: "Men feel tip top until they suddenly drop dead." The term "Men's Health" has entered common parlance. Coined by doctors, it clearly shows that men should be motivated to look after their physical and mental health.

A healthy lifestyle can prevent many diseases. Sufficient physical exercise and a health-conscious diet play a key role.

Suitable stress management methods help to maintain mental and physical wellbeing.

All these factors also have a direct influence on the body's testosterone production.

A healthy lifestyle also means paying attention to any symptoms of illness and having regular screening tests and examinations. Unfortunately, it is not only a testosterone deficiency that often goes unrecognized and therefore remains untreated. Other typical male diseases (e.g. prostate cancer) are also often diagnosed too late. In addition, there are a number of illnesses which are considerably more common in men than in women and which therefore require particular attention, e.g. cardiovascular disease.
