Decreasing HGH secretion has been an ongoing topic of discussion for many years with little result. Researchers have been unable to consistently isolate the effect ofGH in regards to exercise recovery processes, tissue growth or muscle mass building/destruction and more importantly, no one has been able to determine why GH secretion has decreased (Let’s look at a few examples).
To date, there is still no known cure forGH deficiency, but treatments are available that are designed to gradually phase out the hormone. These treatments are acknowledged by the FDA, are not approved by the FDA and, according to the scientific journals, are “pretreatment” due to the fact that “the supposed pretreatment is not likely to occur”. There are however, many products available (Pyramid, Epiful, Winc GST) that fall into this category.
On the other hand, increasingGlucose Metabolismwhen consuming anabolic agentsfrom whole food sources seems to increase GH secretion in most individuals. Following is a list of common phyto-nutrients and their Most Common Levels.
Most Common Levels for GH (ng/ml)
Again, due to the incomplete analysis and missing data available at the USDA, it is unclear how much of the GH secretion is due to the GH supplements or from the GH deficiency itself. However, we do know that a baseline level of GH secretion is required for proper regulation of metabolism and other bodily functions. A benefit of GH supplementation is that it produces GH independently of cortisol and thus, may spare effort or promote fat loss more effectively.
Cortisol: A hormone secreted by the adrenal gland, cortisol is important for fat regulation, stress and patterns of cell growth and division. In addition, cortisol variations (cortisol awakening) have been found to influence feeding patterns, burn body fat, stress hormone levels and increase testosterone secretion in humans. While many variables influence glucocorticoid (cortisol) production, intake of specific nutrients or a combination of macronutrients like protein, carbs and fats can modulate the production of cortisol.
Sugar: Often called the “anti-hormone”, sugar appears to play a negative role in fat regulation, and also regulates our hunger signals (the hormone ghrelin). Dr. situharine, referred to as the father of the fat metabolism, claimed that sugar depressed ghrelin levels. This may lead to unhealthy blood sugar fluctuations during digestion, which could interfere with the production of leptin, a hormone that helps us Odd that works together. Several studies have shown that sugar suppressed ghrelin levels. This could therefore increase appetite and fat gain.
Protein: helps repair and build muscle.Physical activity: runners, athletes, fatigued people, people with a sleeping rhythm, those who use fitness equipment like heart rate monitors, are all more likely to see decreased strength and stamina because of decreased protein needs. Medical evidence is clear that protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a disease of critical import in patients with orthopedic injuries.
dehydration: Add more water to your body. More than 2/3 of our population is chronically dehydrated and its key causes are some combination of hypertension and not getting enough water. Dehydration has been shown to affect fluid and electrolyte balance and sodium balance. These are all important to understand. Generally, the amount of fluid lost in perspiration and other bio noteworthy respiration has been estimated to be about 5% of body weight. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you may lose about 75 pounds of fluid in perspiration or through your skin during the day. Residual body water can be approximated to be about 42% sodium, 22% enriched water, andantsioxidantresidue. All of the symptoms of dehydration ( thirst, dry mouth, a headache, headache, swollen hands, legs, extremities, etc.) are markers for the loss of water and electrolyte content in the body. One way to estimate your fluid loss is to weigh yourself before and after exercise. Add about 5-10 grams of fluid to your weight in pounds. After normal hydration, take your weight in pounds, divide by 2 and this is your fluid loss for the hour.
According to workout results, the average fluid loss during exercise was approximately 10-15 ml’s/ hour. For example a woman who plans to run 9 min miles (or 30 meters) would lose approximately 5-8 ml’s or 1-2 ml’s per mile.
replaces about 5% of the fluid lost during exercise from sweating, and
About 1% for during activity.
These values are very rough estimatesand for most people would need to train themselves to get properly fit. A better strategy would be to train with an easy to drink fluid bottle for the entire day and have a more measured amount of fluid lost.
