as for being a man, my dad is still a bad ass.. was visiting with him last year and saw his knuckles all bashed up. It took a while to get it out of him but I found out he got into a bar fight the week before--he hasn't changed a bit apparently. My uncles are all newly retired construction workers and hard as nails so whatever it is they are doing it seems to keep them from being 18 year old girls safe to say ;)

Yes and there are plenty of medical studies illustrating that testosterone deficiency in men is detrimental to their health and that by restoring optimal "natural" levels of the hormone reduces this danger.
A UK study showed that men with heart disease died sooner if they had low testosterone.
As for your dad, you, and your uncles... have you ever thought that perhaps you guys were just genetically gifted? Most old men aren't out fighting in bars. They're being old men.
Not because of food or the kind of job they work, because of genetic aging.
