Human Growth Hormone influences the cells in a way that promotes the growth of body tissues. It is released throughout life however its effects are most dramatic during childhood.
HGH ultimately reduces body fat and increases muscle mass. But how does it work? And how will it assist us in achieving healthy and natural weight loss without the need to diet.
With each meal we go through a three stage cycle of feast and fast:
In the first hour after eating blood sugar rises and insulin is released. This encourages storage of excess carbohydrates as fats.
After the second hour HGH is released and the levels of insulin and blood sugar start to fall. It is at this stage the hormone acts to build up muscle protein which is enhanced by the presence of insulin.
The final stage occurs more than four hours after eating (the fasting stage). The concentration of hormone remains high while the insulin has almost disappeared this allows the hormone to act solely to mobilize the bodys fat stores for burning as fuel.
In the young the levels of growth hormone are high with respect to insulin. The human growth hormone acts as a brake on insulin keeping its fat creation at a minimum (i.e. insulin creates fat while HGH breaks down fat to use as energy)
Insulin is an essential hormone required for the metabolism of sugar we cannot survive without it. Insulin also works to stimulate muscle growth but to a much lesser extent than HGH. If levels are too low insulin is free to turn every calorie you do not expend into fat for later use.
If you want to ensure a long life and healthy future for you and your kids, then you must ensure that you adopt and follow a healthy, natural and nutritious diet minimizing the consumption of processed foods.
By allowing 4 hours between meals and severely restricting snacks between meals you will ensure that the three stage cycle is followed and that the natural balance between HGH and insulin is maintained so that they both work together within the feast-fast cycle.
Remember when HGH and Insulin are in the bloodstream together they help to stimulate protein synthesis and growth of muscle mass. At the same time the higher levels of human growth hormone work to block insulins fat storage effect therefore during stage 3 (i.e. 4 hours after eating) when insulin disappears from the bloodstream HGH can then metabolise the fat without interference.
Obesity is the natural outcome of following an unnatural and unhealthy lifestyle. So, if you wish to avoid obesity, go back to nature and healthy nutritious food and allow the 2 important hormones that we have been discussing to work together in harmony and the way nature intended.
To achieve a long and healthy life for ourselves we need to ensure that we eat good, healthy, nutritious food, drink fresh water, strive for mental peace, sleep well. Nature's law also states that every living being must move as long as it is alive.
Therefore whenever possible we should take regular exercise, enjoy the warmth of sunlight and breathe fresh air.
