While I love splitting/chopping wood as much as the next man, I'm skeptical that chopping wood would raise testosterone any more than say doing, say, pushups and squats.
Back in the day, they used to have free firewood days at the Park City ski area (post cutting new runs) and you could head up with a pick up and get free rounds to split. Good times!
Chopping wood doesn't prevent dementia.
Very true, but not because of the act of chopping wood. A lot of it has to do with the lifestyle that comes with chopping wood. The environment wood chopping leads you to is more rural, outdoor environments.
You'll probably see increased levels of vitamin D due to increased sun exposure, which increases endorphins, mood, and overall energy levels. Add to that, a more likely diet of more whole foods and less sugars and trans fats.
When combined together, the increase numbers make sense.
So like my neighborhood.
Where men are actually men. Places like that are fewer and fewer.
No soccer mom’s chopping wood in your neighborhood either, hoss.
.
But they are (mostly) hot MILFs spending a lot of time outside getting Vitamin D and not getting fat.
I stick to the stuff Frank Thomas and Doug Flutie are selling.
