30 Days to a better man<br />
have T too, but men have 40-60 times greater amounts in their bodies.<br />
Testosterone is what gives you bigger muscles and organs than women.<br />
And it’s what gives you a “male brain,” which is larger than the female<br />
brain (although we should strongly point out that size has nothing to do<br />
with intelligence) but which has a decreased connection between the hemispheres.<br />
Perhaps most importantly, T is what enables you to rock an awesome<br />
beard or mustache. Testosterone maintains your manly characteristics<br />
throughout your whole life and regulates several systems in your body.<br />
So T is pretty damn important to a man. It’s what makes you feel like a<br />
man, man. So if you haven’t been feeling too manly lately, or maybe ever,<br />
perhaps it’s time for you to throw yourself a T party.<br />
The Benefits of Testosterone<br />
Testosterone has been scientifically proven to:<br />
• Improve your mental and physical energy<br />
• Increase your competitive drive<br />
• Increase your muscle size and strength<br />
• Increase your metabolism<br />
• Help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia<br />
• Increase libido and prevent erectile function<br />
Every man is born with different levels of testosterone, and T secretion naturally<br />
falls as a man ages. And overdosing on testosterone (read: steroids)<br />
can have negative health effects. But modern environmental, cultural, and<br />
dietary changes are artificially decreasing men’s normal T levels, and at a<br />
younger and younger age. According to a recent study:<br />
“Researchers in the US are finding testosterone levels to be substantially<br />
lower — by about 15 to 20% — than they were fifteen years ago. Scandinavian<br />
studies show similar declines, and in younger men too; a man born in 1970,<br />
for example, had about 20 percent less testosterone at 35 than a man of his<br />
father’s generation at the same age.”<br />
