Use Exercise To Naturally Raise Your Human Growth Hormone Levels
April 11th 2009 -
HGH has been the rage of body building circles for a number of years. Studies have shown that when you get older having high level of growth hormone can be effective if you are working to develop muscle. However, the use of human growth hormone via injections is a contentious issue as there are a number of side effects associated with injecting human growth hormones.
We all produce HGH. It is most prevalent when we are children as it is required for the rapid tissue growth that occurs at this stage in life. Growth hormone also plays a role in maintaining our body’s metabolism. After puberty though HGH levels start to decline in the body and continues to do so as we become adults. This is why bodybuilders see HGH injections as a means to build bigger muscles, as usually their natural levels will have fallen. There are also several effective techniques to naturally raise your pituitary gland’s release of HGH.
The most effective is to get an early night and get into a strict sleep routine. The growth hormone is released naturally by your body during the initial hours of sleep. You will optimize the repair and growth of tissue by making sure to get a good night of sleep. If you don’t sleep enough, you are seriously decreasing the production of growth hormone and therefore the development of lean muscle mass.
Hgh is a natural substance that your system uses to burn body fat.You have undoubtably seen numerous sites selling growth hormone supplements that promise to increase your natural production of growth hormone. Increased levels in your body are a great way to enhance metabolic fat loss! Low intensity cardio workouts will not do anything to release growth hormone. The best way to increase HGH is performing high intensity cardio for 30-60 seconds or so, followed by a minute or two of walking or low intensity cardio. This is called High Intensity Interval Training.
This kind of intense metabolic workout will increase the release of this master hormone while rapidly burning calories.If you can handle it, wind spprints are an extremely effective exercise. Try alternating days with stair climbing or jumping rope for extra diversity. Use a high end mini-tramp to jump rope if you want to be real hard core.
An excellent alternative are squats performed at low repetitions, high weight. You need to be lifting at least 80% of your maximum. Five reps done ten times is better than 10 reps done 5 times. Thirty to forty-five seconds of rest between sets works best.Resting only 30 seconds will burn more fat.
Nutrition also plays an important role in natural hormone increase. Eating extra protein is a good idea. A good growth hormone supplement might be something to buy but avoid anything in a spray bottle.
Naturally raising your hormone levels is generally a better health decision. You receive the extra benefit of avoiding all the negative hgh side effects that may come from taking injectables.
