Exercise is one Golden Ticket your body needs to prevent health issues in your Golden Years. One reason for this is because exercise is one of the most effective ways to regain insulin and leptin sensitivity while reversing insulin and leptin resistance. Which is key to staying healthy, preventing disease and slowing the aging process.
But another reason exercise is regarded as a real – fountain of youth. Is when done properly with intensely, it will boost your body’s natural production of human growth hormone (HGH), which is a foundational synergistic biochemical, that addresses the serious muscle loss and also atrophy that typically occurs with aging.
While Intermittent Fasting has many of the same benefits, including dramatically boosting HGH, optimizing insulin and leptin sensitivity. The controversy isn’t so much over whether or not HGH plays a vital role in our health (virtually everyone agrees with that.) Instead the controversy lies in the best way to maintain our body’s supply of HGH.
Until recently most experts felt the best way was through expensive prescription injections, although some cost as high as $1500 per month. Experts think the use of synthetic injections may upset natural human growth hormone production. Therefore, other experts may recommend natural alternatives like SeroVital – hgh. Which is a far less expensive method at around $100 per month.
Here are 10 of the most effective ways to increase HGH production, naturally:
- High intensity burst training, which one’s heart rate bursts above their anaerobic threshold (best established by VO2 max testing) for 30 second intervals five or more times in a workout. This engages super-fast twitch muscle fibers, which release HGH naturally.
- Get adequate sleep. Getting 8 hours sleep @ night optimizes production of HGH.
- Melatonin. Take 0.5 to 5 mg of melatonin before bed. Melatonin has been shown to increase growth hormone levels by up to 157 percent.
- GABA. Take 1.5 to 3 g of GABA immediately before bed. GABA, or gamma aminobutyric acid, has been shown to increase growth hormone production by 200 percent.
- Eat high quality protein. Consume a high-protein, low-carbohydrate snack before going to bed. The amino acids will help to boost HGH, while avoiding too many carbs will keep insulin levels low so that it cannot inhibit growth hormone from doing its work.
- Optimize Vitamin D levels at 70-100 ng/mL.
- Avoid sugar after workouts. Consuming sugar (especially fructose) within 2 hours post workout will cause your hypothalamus to release somatostatin, which will decrease your production of HGH. Simple sugars that are high-glycemic also spike insulin levels. Not only does this lead to body fat storage, but it severely decreases the release of growth hormone.
- L-arginine and L-lysine. The combination of these two amino acids together before exercise and sleep has shown to increase growth hormone production by up to 700 percent. Take 3 to 5 grams for optimal results.
- Glutamine. Take 2 to 10 g of glutamine after a workout or before bed. Glutamine may boost HGH levels, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Louisiana State College of Medicine. They discovered that subjects consuming 2 g of glutamine experienced increases in HGH levels. Their findings were reported in the 1995 issue of “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.”
- Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, or A-GPC, might increase HGH levels, according to a study published in September 2008 issue of the “Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.” Researchers at the Center for Applied Health Science Research observed subjects taking 600 mg of A-GPC two hours before resistance exercise had higher HGH levels post-exercise compared with those who consumed a placebo.
