Enhance Natural Growth Hormone Production to Build Muscle and Burn Fat

Growth Hormone (GH) is a powerful fat fighter. It can help you lose weight and achieve a lean muscular body.

This “fountain of youth” hormone is produced in the pituitary gland of the brain. Although it is essential for growth in children, it has important health effects in adults as well.

Growth Hormone

  • Stimulates muscle growth, repair, and remodeling
  • Stimulates fat burning
  • Improves the immune system
  • Increases bone density
  • Improves the texture and thickness of the skin and promotes wound healing
  • Improves mood, vigor, and stamina

This magical hormone is secreted in response to 2 important stimuli: exercise and sleep.

Unfortunately, the amount of growth hormone you secrete decreases with age as well as with obesity. In a word, people with a lot of body fat don’t make much growth hormone! That is one reason why they keep their fat.

Weight loss can augment your body’s ability to increase GH production. However, you may want to enhance levels now to help you lose the weight!

There are ways to increase GH secretion naturally. Even the elderly can get a boost of GH with these guidelines. Remember that the body uses GH to repair, restore, and reshape muscles.

To enhance growth hormone secretion:

  • Increase the intensity of your exercise. Lift weights, do vigorous calisthenics and other body weight exercises, and step up the cardio. Interval training is a great way to accelerate the intensity, allowing your body to recover between bursts of forceful activity. You must get your doctor’s okay first if you are older than 40 or have health problems.
  • Vary your workout routine. The new stress on your muscles and bones acts as a trigger for growth hormone secretion.
  • Get 7 – 8 hours of deep, restful sleep at night.
  • Avoid eating 2 hours before bed. Higher blood sugar, increased insulin levels, and circulating fats in the blood stream will inhibit growth hormone release.
  • Avoid eating or drinking sugary or high calorie snacks before or during a workout. They can inhibit growth hormone secretion.
  • Consider supplementing with amino acids known to trigger growth hormone production (arginine*, ornithine, glutamine) before a workout or before bed.

*If you have a problem with recurrent genital herpes or even oral herpes lesions (cold sores), you may want to avoid arginine.
