How Can I Increase My Testosterone Levels?

Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for many of the physical characteristics specific to males. It plays a key role in reproduction and the maintenance of bone and muscle strength. A normal testosterone level for you will depend on your gender, age and lifestyle, but as a general rule, most men begin to experience a gradual decline in production after the age of 30.

Early man developed rudimentary tools which have now evolved into mind-blowing technology such as smartphones. We have also achieved dominion over other species, inhabited and adapted to all terrains and invested much energy into both eradicating life and preserving it. In fact, with modern medicine's ability to keep us alive, is it expedient to think that human[...]
