What Are the Causes of Testosterone Surges in Men?
- Men have natural urges to prove their manliness, and few outlets provide them with the chance to do so quite like sports. The friendly atmosphere surrounding what was supposed to be a regular basketball game can give way to one filled with fury and competition for this reason.
- Men who lack in the height department can suffer from Small Man's Complex, more commonly referred to as a Napoleon's Complex, causing them to over-accomplish to compensate for not being 6'4. Some will eagerly rush into fist-fights with 7-foot giants to prove they are as good as anybody of regular height.
- Erections cause testosterone to rise significantly; having one in the morning greatly increases post-dawn surges.
- Eating peanuts regularly has been shown to cause testosterone surges. It isn't exactly known why this is so, but mono saturated fats have an effect on adrenal glands unlike other foods.
- A workout comprised of compound weight-lifting exercises targeting large muscle groups will surge testosterone levels. Squats, bench-presses and back rows cause the pituitary glands to work overtime in producing the hormone.
- Upon turning four years old, boys tend to experience sudden testosterone surges. Usually cooling off by age five, the surges lead way to increased interest in adventure and activity, a trait that fathers tend to enjoy more than mothers.
