When we live a sedate lifestyle and rarely exercise - which describes almost all of us in the western world; this has the effect on our body of reducing our testosterone levels.
On the other hand, when we are very busy and active doing lots of exercise, this raises our testosterone levels.
This is true because our testosterone level is constantly adjusting to be what we need to sustain and maintain our status quo - the more work we do the more we need and so the more that is produced.
Our brain senses when our muscles are under duress and adjusts our testosterone level accordingly - providing that our diet and basic nutrient levels are sufficient to produce the testosterone we need.
Testosterone is made from cholesterol and so having cholesterol in sufficient quantities in our diet is important.
Additionally, there are essential compounds needed by our testicles to go about the job of breaking cholesterol down into the hormones we need.
The best way to make sure we have these essential compounds is to add testosterone boosting diet supplements such as Tongkat Ali tree root extract which has been used in eastern medicine for many hundreds of years to stimulate androgenic hormone production in men.
The final ingredient to boosting our testosterone level is to trigger our brain into commanding higher levels of production, and we achieve this by stressing our large muscle groups out with muscle burning heavy-weights exercise for about 7 minutes per day.
When our brain senses our muscles under - because of the muscles burning, it then determines we don't have enough testosterone and at night when we are at rest it directs the pituitary gland to cause the testicles to get busy.
The next day we not only have increased levels of hormone in our blood, we also have a much higher level set free from the protein bindings so that they can be used immediately to grow our muscle mass.
