There are several benefits to having higher testosterone:

a healthier heart

Low than normal testosterone levels can contribute to several cardiovascular risks. Higher levels can create wider coronary arteries. This may be helpful for men with chest pain and pressure 

Testosterone also can cause red blood cell counts to rise, which is a good thing if you have anemia.

It can also improve the amount of blood pumping, which improves muscles and organs by getting them more oxygen

more muscle & less fat

There is clear data that higher levels of testosterone can decrease fat and increase muscle size and strength. 

Obviously this is by combining a testosterone increase with a strength and exercise regime as well. 

Other than looking and feeling better, a leaner and more muscly body helps control weight and increases energy, especially important as you get older.

STRONGER BONES

Older men can increase their bone density with testosterone replacement therapy. This is especially true of men who had very low testosterone levels before beginning therapy. 

Strong bones help support your muscles and internal organs, which can boost athletic performance.

STRONGER LIBIDO

Testosterone levels naturally rise in response to sexual arousal and activity. Testosterone levels fall off during long periods of abstinence. In turn, more testosterone boosts sexual desire, continuing the cycle. 

Testosterone has been shown to have a positive effect on a man’s sexual drive and performance.
