How Testosterone affects your Testicles
Testosterone, or as you may know it, ‘the manly hormone.’ It’s true that we tend to associate testosterone with manliness...conjuring up images of hairy cavemen gnawing on meat.

While we all enjoy eating this sweet refreshing fruit, we usually discard the tiny seeds scattered in it without realising or rather knowing of their health benefits.
