An article was just written by Lucy Danziger, the SELF editor-in-chief, about how you can "redeem" yourself if you have eaten a burger, otherwise known as a gut bomb. Such greasy meals can cause your arteries to lose elasticity for 6 hours. In this article she refers to a study done that says those who have eaten a greasy meal, that walk for 45 minutes within 2 hours after eating maintained the same healthy heart function as those who ate a fat-free meal, and did not exercise afterwards! This is a practical example of your growth hormones at work, and is the subject of the rest of this article. Your body contains this valuable nutrient, but certain things have to happen for it to be released. Now many who are trying to sell you a product, will tell you that you will have more energy, increased skin elasticity, an increased in bone mass and density, lowered cholesterol, diminished joint pain, increased lean muscle mass, improved memory, lower blood pressure, and have greater exercise capabilities, and the list goes on, if you get a regular dose of growth hormone. These proponents state that there is a link between growth hormone level and the above mentioned benefits. There may be truth in that, but I think the real thing to understand here is that your body already has growth hormone in abundant supply, it just needs to be released! I recently listened to a CD by Larry Scott, a heavy weight lifting champion. He spoke mainly about the ratio of nutrients our body needs to lose weight, or gain weight, but he also touched on the topic of growth hormones produced by our body. The benefits are of utmost concern to us women: skin that is youthful, besides the above mentioned list of benefits. Unfortunately are bodies stop the free release of growth hormone by the time we are 20 or 30, and it just sits in our glands, waiting for us to trigger its release. He said that there have been studies done on 80 year old cadavers, that showed they had lots of growth hormone in their glands, it just hadn't been released! Our body makes plenty of this growth hormone, and releases it when we are young, especially during the teen years. It's just as we get older, that we have to do certain things to trigger its release. Larry hinted at these things on the CD I listened to, but, I just had to know the 4 things that triggered this release of growth hormone, so I called him, and asked. He very graciously told me. The four things that release growth hormone are: 1.Sleep. Planning is involved here, but is well worth it. Get your proper sleep, and get growth hormones released in your body for free! 2)Fasting. 3 hours before bedtime, and before you exercise, causes the release of growth hormone. 3)Arginine and L-lysine (amino acids), taken together. 4)Exercising to the point of feeling cramps in the muscle. This causes you to burn fat in that specific area as well as triggers the release of growth hormone! What is really incredible about this is that three of these things are easily achieved by you, at home, without spending any money! Easy exercises that you can do at home. I recently bought a video that described exercises that you can do in 60 seconds. It showed mostly exercises I already knew, such as squats and lunges, for example, but it revolutionized my thinking in that I am now doing those exercises in a spare moment here and there, and I CAN TELL A DIFFERENCE! I feel stronger, and healthier, and have the feeling of good health (more energy!) that comes with a release of growth hormone! I am so enthused by this information, as I am always into natural remedies, and anything especially easy to obtain good health. I am reminded of the "butterfly effect": which is simply put, a sequence of small changes will amount to a vast change in the outcome. Start doing these four things to trigger your release of growth hormone: you have it in you!
