Hormone Imbalance? Delay Aging and Enhance Muscles with HGH.
March 23, 2009
The pituitary gland naturally produces the Human Growth Hormone, HGH. Its chief responsibility is the growth of bone mass and lean muscles. The insulin-like growth factor, IGF-1, is closely related to the human growth hormone. IGF-1 is important for the reparation of damaged cells and also the production of new cells. The more insulin-like growth factor a human body is producing, the more human growth hormone will be found in the body.
As we age, our pituitary glands subsequently produce less of the healing hormone IGF-1. Due to this reduction, our bodies’ ability to repair damaged cells is lowered. The result: the mental and physical aging process.
Aging causes the natural decrease in growth hormone levels. Individuals aged 60 or older, have HGH levels that are approximately half of that found in young adults in their mid-20’s. The age-related decreases in muscle mass, strength, and lipolysis can be attributed to this reduction in growth hormone levels.
Some effects of HGH decline include:
*7%- 25% increase in body fat, while lean body mass declines in a similar way
*Reduction in long bone density and spinal bone density, with a noticeable decrease in muscle mass and strength
* 30 to 50 pounds of weight gain
*Additionally, there are adverse effects on cholesterol; triglyceride levels rise, while ‘good cholesterol’ (high density cholesterol (HDL)), decreases
* Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
*Anxiety, social isolation, depression, lack of concentration, and loss of energy
Very few adverse effects are experienced from Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy, because it is naturally produced in the body. These side effects only occur in a small percentage of patients, and are easily reversed. They include: joint pain or joint swelling, insulin resistance, and fluid retention. Although results vary with each unique case, typically patients can expect to see results within three to six months of receiving Human Growth Hormone Treatment.
If you are age 40 or older, or younger than 40, but experiencing symptoms of hormone loss, The BEST Program, suggests that you have your Human Growth Hormone levels checked. Address health risks before they become a problem, prevent illness, and optimize your health. Take an active role in living life young, and contact the Best Program Today.

Want to look healthy and handsome with your libido powered ON! Thought so…. Simply by adding a couple of servings a week of the following foods, you are well on your way to living well, and looking good.
Greens & Beans
Recently, researchers have conducted a study on the diets of 400 elderly men and women in Sweden, Indonesia, and Australia. They found that those with the fewest wrinkles ate the most leafy green vegetables and beans. Beans and greens, such as spinach, are loaded with compounds that not only help prevent, but also repair the wear and tear on your skin cells as you age.
Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds have the highest natural vitamin E content of any food. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient for looking younger. “No antioxidant is more effective at fighting the aging effects of free radicals,” says Barry Swanson, Ph.D., a professor of food science at Washington State University.
Sweet Potatoes
Overexposed to the sun?? This is one of the leading reasons men age prematurely. But, sweet potatoes may help to fight sun damage. Pigments found in beta-carotene rich foods, such as carrots and sweet potatoes can build up in your skin, helping to fight and prevent damage from ultraviolet rays.
Cheese
Cheese is one of the best foods you can eat for your choppers. It’s a wonderful source of calcium and keeps your teeth and bones strong. Eating cheese lowers the levels of bacteria in your mouth, keeping your teeth clean and cavity-free! Doctors recommend eating at least two servings of block cheese every week.
Grape Juice
“Grapes are filled with antioxidant polyphenols that keep your skin flexible and elastic,” says Swanson. They not only keep your skin from sagging, but also provide protection from strokes and heart attacks.
Having a diet that incorporates these five foods, can get you looking and feeling your BEST!

Omega 3: Ease Your Symptoms Of Menopause!
March 20, 2009
Omega 3 fatty acids — are an amazing anti-aging supplement!
Studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acid supplements, which contain eicosapentaenoic* acid (EPA) from fish oil, are effective in treating the disruptive and irritating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause that you may be experiencing. These symptoms can range from psychological distress and depression, to mood swings, anxiety attacks, and hot flashes. This supplement has also been found to reduce the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Recently, a study was conducted by Dr. Michael Lucas, where 120 women, ages 40-55 were divided into two groups. The first group was instructed to take three Omega 3 capsules containing EPA, totaling one gram per day, every day for 8 weeks. The other group followed the same rules, but instead ingested placebo capsules containing sunflower oil without the EPA.
THE RESULTS: The study indicated that after the eight-week period, the condition of women who were suffering symptoms of psychological distress and mild depression improved significantly after consuming Omega 3s. Also, women with hot flashes noted that their condition improved by an average of 1.5 occurrences per day.
*Eicosapentaenoic acid is typically available in a gel capsule combined with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), another Omega 3 fatty acid. Omega 3 fatty acid supplements are readily available in pharmacies, health food stores, grocery stores, and online.
Here at the Best Program, Dr. Fisher also recommends 3 servings of Salmon weekly, as a great source of Omega 3s. And believe it or not, Lamb is the richest meat source of Omega 3s and has the richest source of carnitine!
It’s been proven that Omega 3s and other age management supplements, coupled with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, can help reduce the symptoms of menopause. To watch videos on menopause relief and to take a free online test, visit: http://www.thebestprogram.net/menopause.php
