Happy and healthy is a reflection on or hormone levels more than it is revealing that we somehow have a magical life of no problems. Indeed life is full of problems and challenges and it is normal. But when we have the right hormonal soup in our system, it is this that keeps us on an even keel and we can cope with the challenges. Back in the days of the new frontier, between murdering the Indians and cutting down trees and clearing the land, some days would be easy and others very hard and so our body and brain always kept a higher level of testosterone in our system to cope with the sudden challenges we could be faced with. Because the men of those days were always dealing with sudden increases of heavy demands, their brains always maintained high reserves of testosterone to be ready and able to deal with them.

Today a hard day means you made a mistake with the office politics or accidentally deleted an email you shouldn’t have. In the modern world means standing in a long line at the supermarket checkout counter – and has nothing to do with hunting a wild animal for many hours to get something to eat. And the modern existence is not so bad, but smarter and wiser people always do certain things to increase their preparedness for the unexpected. Any person who when they wake up in the morning begins their day with a sudden burst of heavy exercise that creates the burning sensation in their muscles will find they have a sudden release of testosterone in their system not only for the current day that they face but also for when they wake up the next day.

A wise person prepares for the unexpected, and any man who wants to win the coming challenges of any day will definitely start his new days with a burst of push-ups and sit-ups to get his testosterone level heading the right way.
