The human growth hormone, sometimes referred to as HGH is a very powerful anti-aging hormone. It helps you to prevent or at least delay many age related diseases and thus slows down the effects of rapid aging.
You probably would have noticed how some people age more elegantly than others. This of course could be genetically influenced but if you can produce more HGH, then you too can age better with less of the aches, wrinkles and age related diseases. Now you can start looking and feeling younger by increasing the production of your growth hormones.
You produce HGH in abundance when you were in your growing up years as this hormone also helps you very much in the growing up process. Unfortunately, your natural production starts to dip when you are in your mid 20s and that is why from then on, you are starting to grow older. Your natural production can actually decreased by about as much as 14% per decade and by the time you reach your mid 40s, you will have already lost a significant amount of your HGH level. This is when you begin to age even faster.
There are several ways you can increase your growth hormones such as human growth hormone replacement therapy which can only be administered by qualified medical doctors. This therapy is very expensive making it out of reach for most people except the rich and famous. Also, this replacement therapy comes with many unwanted and sometimes dangerous side effects.
Another controversial method is to take growth hormone releaser supplements that can help your body to produce more of its own natural HGH. However, this method has yet to be empirically proven to work well. So the safest and cheapest method is to increase your HGH by naturally. Fortunately, there are many ways for you to increase your production levels the natural way.
Exercise regularly - If you want to really increase your own natural production, it is vital that you begin a regular exercise program. Look around you, people who exercise regularly do look and feel younger. Inter alia, this is simply due to their increased HGH levels.
Any exercise that are of higher intensity will do the work but some exercises will work even better. One of the better exercises is intensive aerobic workouts. Training with weights will also increase your production of HGH and also testosterone, which is another very important hormone.
Furthermore, when you lose weight through exercising, your HGH level will further be increased because obesity inhibits your HGH production and so losing some body fat can help significantly.
Lifting weights with quick high reps until muscular fatigue is a great way to increase your HGH production. This is because the exercises produce lactic acid in your muscles which is a natural by-product of muscle contractions and also reduces the pH level of your muscles, which is why you get the "burning" feeling once you reach muscular failure.
The lactic acid buildup will actually damage your muscle's cellular tissues if not dealt with by your body and so your body is forced to increase your HGH production as one of the mechanisms for helping your muscles to recover faster and shuttle out the excess lactic acid.
Watch what you eat - Along with a good exercise program, you should also watch what you eat. Your diet should consist of good quality proteins and low on saturated fats. Monounsaturated and omega 3 fats are good fats to be added in your diet in place of saturated and trans fat.
You will also want to avoid high glycemic carbs and sugary foods because these foods will stimulate insulin spikes in your blood which will interfere with your HGH production.
Sleep like a baby - Our bodies produce the most HGH when we are asleep. Many studies have determined that the hormone is produced during the later part of sleep and so if you are sleeping less than 8 or 9 hours a night, you are short changing your own production process. This is one of the reasons why people who sleep a lot always look younger and more refreshed.
So what is the secret of looking and feeling younger? Increase your HGH production, of course! So start doing it now.
