Visceral fat, in particular, plays a critical role in metabolism, testosterone levels, and disease risk. By focusing on optimizing body composition through strength training, cardiovascular exercise, proper nutrition, and lifestyle changes, men can improve their hormone balance, reduce health risks, and build a stronger, healthier body for the long term.
