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.
