In the absence of growth hormone, children may not reach their normal genetic height. Researchers and scientists attribute aging signs to partial decline in the serum levels of growth hormone and currently research is underway to slow down the aging process with supplemental growth hormone formulations.
How to Increase HGH Naturally
1. Sleep Properly and Restfully
An average of 7 to 9 hours of quality uninterrupted sleep helps in naturally increasing your hormone secretion. Although time of the day doesn’t matter but night-sleep is more helpful because of higher melatonin secretion (due to dark). You can improve your sleep quality by using methods below.
#Adjust the temperature of your room before going to bed.
#Limit your soda, caffeine and water intake before bedtime.
#If you have trouble sleeping, you can also get benefitted from aromatherapy, sound therapy and massage therapy.
2. Stop Eating Before Bedtime
This includes an impaired insulin response and resulting impairments in the secretion of human growth hormone. Serological testing indicates that the secretion of human growth hormone decreases when the insulin levels are high in the body.
3. Fast Intermittently
The duration of intermittent fasting greatly varies, but generally a fast of 12 t0 18 hours per day is generally considered sufficient thrice in a week for health benefits and to increase human growth hormone production.
4. Practice Intense Workouts
Ideally, the best time for your intense body work-outs is morning (when you have sufficiently low levels of insulin because of an over-night fast).
5. Lose Weight
6. Produce More L-Dopa
#You can consume over- the-counter herbal supplements like Mucuna pruriens that naturally increase L- Dopa concentration.
#Consider increasing your intake of certain foods like fava beans and velvet.
#You can also consume foods that are high in L-Phenylalanine or L-Tyrosine like high quality proteins (beef, poultry and sea-foods).
#Increasing the supplemental intake of other essential amino-acids like L-Phenylalanine or L-Tyrosine is also known to improve L- Dopa levels.
7. Cleanse Your Liver
Research suggests that all the HGH produced by the pituitary gland is taken up by liver and metabolized to produce IGF-1 (or insulin like growth factors) that is responsible for anti- aging, protein building, growth and development functions of HGH.
8. Laugh More
9. Maintain Healthy Diet
10. Consume Nutritional Supplements
You can also get benefitted from the nutritional supplements like:
GABA can be consumed in a dose up to 3 g before bedtime and has been associated with a steady increase of up to 200%.
Glutamine is yet another essential amino- acid that can be consumed in a dose up to 10g after a workout session or before bedtime.
GPC (also known as Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) is consumed in a dose of 600 mg after workout or exercise to stimulate the release of HGH.
