testosterone

ive done a search on google and found alot of things about supplements and muscle building etc.

im wondering what factors affect the amount of testosterone in your body?

ive read working large groups of muscles increases it, and also exposure to sunlight (apparently)



can anyone list any ways one can increase their testosterone levels naturally by exposing themselves to particular things (like a type of food etc)

thanks

Re: testosterone

If you're male, anticipating a visit with one's partner will increase testosterone, as will conflict with other males. There's generally an upper limit on your own natural production, since the body is pretty good at keeping steroids produced to just the levels that you need. (I'm keeping this explanation very simplified right now, because I'm not really sure what you're looking for or why.)
