Anti Aging with HGH
It is your pituitary gland that produces the ever so important HGH that your body needs. Unfortunately this gland does not secrete this as much in your older life as it did when you were still a wee one.
When we are young we need the HGH—human growth hormone—to grow our bones and organs etc. and in our adult life this hormone has a big affect on our metabolism rates as well as our immune systems and how well they perform throughout our lives.
Much of the HGH in our bodies is secreted during the time we spend sleeping and it is all due to the fact that the hypothalamus triggers the reaction in our anterior pituitary. It is our tissues, bones and muscles that get the most out of HGH though the rest of the body does benefit as well.
As we age and our bodies produce and secrete less and less human growth hormone we start to feel more tired, we start to look older and just generally feel less well not to mention that fact that we tend to get fatter.
While HGH is one of the hormones that do the body good, there are some that are not quite as helpful all the time. For example insulin. When we eat unhealthy diets filled with refined carbs and sugars the body is gong to go wild with the amount of insulin that it produces leading to adult onset diabetes. This can be deadly if not treated and even when treated is a giant pain in the butt to live with. Insulin is not the only hormone that can wreak havoc on your body though, there is also cortisol. This is the hormone known as the flight or fight hormone. This sucker ruins your tissues, even your brain tissues! That is why sometimes we start to lose our mental functioning, but when you start to take HGH it can reverse these negative effects all over your body.
Human growth hormone is actually called the anti aging hormone by many because of how much it can do for the aging human body.
A few of the many benefits that you can see (and feel!) when taking HGH are:
- Better immune system function
- Better mental capacity
- Muscle gain
- Fat loss
- Plumped up organs, those that has previously been shrinking with age
- More energy to do fun stuff
- Better kidney function
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower cholesterol
- Better cardiac function
- Better bone density
- Balanced electromagnetic field
IT is a fact that HGH and IGF-1 can help you manage the aging process better while keeping you fit and healthy. This happens by keeping the genetic codes in order on all of the different proteins, hormones and even the enzymes that you need to keep your cells working as they should be. Sure you can take vitamin C and vitamin E as they will help to keep your DNA and in check as well as your immune system functioning well, but HGH and IGF-1 will make an even bigger difference, in fact they can make all of the difference. These help you to have your DNA fixed up before the cells divide. HGH even gets the nucleic acids and the amino acids into the various cells and membranes. From there it is IGF-1 that gets the nucleic acids straight into the nucleus of the cell, straight to the heart of the DNA. This is powerful and the difference it will have on your body is outstanding.
HGH is not the only kind of endocrine hormone that is in your body.
There are many others such as:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Melatonin
- DHEA
All of these hormones lower in production as we get older and more and more patients are turning to hormone replacement therapies to counteract the aging process. And while these others can help you in many ways only HGH can truly help you to prevent the signs and effects of aging.
It is during adolescence and even into your twenties that your HGH levels are the highest. For example most people at around 25 are producing 600 mg of human growth hormone. But by the time you are 60 or 70 years old you could have as little as 15 percent of that amount! That is a massive difference that affects your body in ways that can cripple your life. And the scariest part is that if you are not the healthiest eater you could be down to that 15 percent when you are only 40! And let’s face it, most of us are far from having a healthy diet each day.
The simple facts are that once you hit 21 you are losing about 14 percent of your HGH per decade. You know what this means right? It means that by the time you are seriously losing out on good health.
Here it is broken down into simple numerical values:
Okay, when we are about 20 years old we are cranking out about 500 micrograms of human growth hormone.
At the age of 40 we are secreting about 200 micrograms.
Then finally at 80 we are only producing a lowly 25 micrograms.
That is a serious difference, is it not? Shocking!
When you are walking down the street and you see those older people who are all weak and mushy looking, those that are fat and who seem to have zero interest in anything at all, those are the people who need a little pick me up in the form of HGH.
People who are lacking in their HGH even lose interest in sex and they can have a really hard time keeping track of things in their mind because their memory is just not what it used to be when they were producing enough HGH each day.
When you want to see these daily issues disappear then you want to talk to your doctor about HGH injections. You will begin to look better feel better and actually see these signs of aging be reversed.
And if you really want to live forever—or at least longer than you would have before—then you want to combine HGH treatments with a healthy and well balanced diet. Keeping the calorie down and eating plenty of protein is always a good way to go.
You can have some tests done that are pretty simple. They will simply measure your plasma IGF-1 levels. If you are coming in at under 350 IU then you are lacking in HGH.
