You Are Less of a Man if You Have a Lot of Belly Fat

A fat belly certainly makes you a big man - and also less of a man, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.  Researchers studied over 580 men for almost 20 years, and found that a 4-point increase in body mass index - a (somewhat-flawed) calculation used to determine obesity - accelerates your natural decline in testosterone by 10 years!  This corresponds to a gain of 30 pounds for a man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall.  It's not just the testosterone levels that suffer - the deficiency also increases your risks of diabetes, bone fractures and Alzheimer's disease.
