There are loads of reasons why testosterone is important. Your T-Levels (Testosterone Levels) start going downhill at 30. Recent research has shown that men born more recently over the century have increasingly decreased levels of testosterone. That means that a man born in 1915 at the age of 60 versus a man born in 1940 at the age of 60 has higher levels of T. Here are some great ways to up your levels as you age and avoid the chemicals and substances that lower libido and your life expectancy!

It is the wellness revolution. There is no better time than the present to embark on a journey of living life to it’s maximum potential. More and more of North American society is realizing that the Western Medical Approach to health isn't helping them live better quality lives. On the contrary rates of Heart Disease, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Auto-Immunes conditions have gone up exponentially and continue to.

We are turning to the days of old when food was simple and unprocessed; when medication was good sleep, proper nutrition, decreased stress, massage therapy, acupuncture and herbs and root teas. The past 100 years of research on old world therapies yield tremendously positive results for the majority of diseases and ailments that afflict North Americans. From India's work with Laughter and Aloe Vera, and the Chinese with Ginseng and Green Tea to South America's promotion of Cacao and Yerba Mate, the answer to good health has always been simple. You cannot heal selectively.

When I was in high school my Enterprise 10 teacher Mr. Mcleod told us that the world’s most successful people have credited a portion of their success to their daily nap. He called it a Power Nap. He encouraged us all to take 10 to 20 minutes everyday to ourselves away from stimulus, "NO MORE" he stated sternly "JUST TWENTY MINUTES". It took me seven years later to take his advice. After my first degree I moved to Taipei, Taiwan where the working and school custom was to nap for 20 minutes after eating. Nap at your desk after eating lunch or some time in the middle of the work day go to a dark, quiet place and spend 20 minutes alone. Eventually you will become good at falling asleep quickly. It took me months to become accustomed to napping. Like any healthy habit it takes practice and effort. The endeavor is well worth it!

Here are some benefits of napping. Could your life use anymore of these?

When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones & chemicals that have astonishing positive effects on the systems running our bodies. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted & more. Western science is just starting to discover the great effects of laughter. It is currently being used in some progressive cancer treatment centers but clearly not enough in everyday America. Laughter is the best pill on the planet! Mixing laughter with living is one reason the rest of the world has a much better health picture than Americans.

The laughter movement started with Dr. Madan Kataria in India in 1995 and now there are over 2000 laughter clubs all over the world. Who would have thought that happiness could bread healthfulness? This is another case where we don’t need science to prove the obvious.
