Human Growth Hormone – ‘Fountain Of Youth’

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)  has been dubbed the “Fountain Of Youth’ hormone as it keeps us young and slows down ageing. It is produced by the anterior pituitary gland under the stimulation of the hypothalamus. The effects on our system are tremendous. HGH promotes and increases the synthesis of new protein tissues, such as in muscle recovery and repair. This is the way new muscle is built. Recent research suggests it has a crucial part to play in the metabolism of body fat and conversion to energy sources.

Tests have been conducted in obese people, and medical use of HGH in treating obesity was proven beneficial beyond doubt. Some pros have used GH as a way of maintaining and increasing lean mass while dieting for years. This is obviously a synthetic form which I’d never advocate until the absolute last resort but the findings of its use are good to know. We can of course increase HGH naturally with nutrition, being active and getting decent sleep.

HGH improves the sleeping pattern, makes for fewer unintended awakenings and betters REM-stage sleep. HGH produces more energy and may improve sexual performance. It builds stronger bones, improves the quality and duration of heart and kidneys. Here are 3 ways to increase HGH:

Training

Intense workouts, energy-consuming events, and long periods of physical exhaustion are key in releasing more HGH; these catabolic states require extra muscle protein synthesis—and in the case of energy-consumption, fat metabolising to make up for glycogen depletion.

Rest

75% of your total daily HGH output is produced while sleeping, and most of that in REM sleep. Sleep is so essential, and good quality sleep at that. That means without alcohol for the most part and uninterrupted. Also, the regularity of your sleeping pattern could promote more REM cycles and result in more hormonal output. So keeping steady hours of rest is beneficial.

Nutrition

It may come as no surprise that this is probably the most important. Natural GH begins with the most basic of nutrients: amino acids. For amino acids to have optimal effect, you need to make sure that 15-20% of your diet consists of clean fats. These induce cholesterol, the storage of the base hormone in the body that leads to the manufacture of most hormones. Some lean fats include eggs, avocados, olive oil, olives, coconut oil, nuts, seeds and fatty fish.

Other dietary sources of nutrients to promote GH are Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin B3, and most antioxidants.

Also try these ketogenic amino acids supplement for a healthier diet.

Intermittent Fasting is also an excellent way to release more Human Growth Hormone.
