Author and epidemiologist, S.Jay Olshansky Ph.D. said that genes exist to facilitate growth, development, reproduction, maintenance and repair. Its sole function is to sustain life. Its failure ultimately leads to a lot of disorders and diseases people commonly associate with aging. Lifestyle is the key factor that creates the occurrence of failing genes. Practically diet, smoking and inactivity facilitate the aging process. Aging brings tissue degeneration, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, low energy levels, decreased stamina and loss of muscle mass. HGH is found at higher levels in our bodies when we were young. Actually keeping high HGH levels is the secret to reversing the aging process.

HGH is found at higher levels in our body when we were young. It is the one responsible for the rapid growth and high metabolic rate we experienced as teenagers. Actually keeping high HGH levels is the secret to reversing the aging process. HGH is called somatotropin. It is produced by the pituitary gland, released and carried into the blood flow. It in turn stimulates other glands to release hormones of their own. That is what we see with visible physical characteristics of face and hair. HGH is primarily released in pulses that occur during the initial phases of slow wave sleep. The pituitary secretes HGH every 90 minutes more at night than during the day. These are the symptoms of low HGH levels: lack of positive well being; increased anxiety; reduced energy; impaired psychological well being; poor general health; impaired self control; unexplained depression; increased social isolation; memory loss; reduced lean body mass; reduced mineral bone density; increased body fat; reduced muscle bulk and strength; decreased exercise performance and increased waist to hip ratio. Obesity, depression and hypoglycemia is also said to reduce HGH secretion.

HGH actually starts a steady decline at 21 or 30 years of age. The total 24 hour growth hormone production rate is dramatically reduced by 500 mcg at 20 years of age, 200 mcg at 40 years of age and 25 mcg at 80 years of age. This is because HGH levels are age related. Growth hormones production declines 10-15% from age 20-70. Endogenous HGH secretion varies with sex, nutrition, obesity, physical activity and disease states. The greatest concentration of receptors naturally occurs in the liver. A person who weight train and engage in resistant exercises stimulates HGH production. HGH can shed body fat, increase muscle tone, boost your energy, reduced wrinkles, help you sleep better, improve sex drive and performance, improve immune and heart function, and improve brain function. Giving an injection once a day with HGH is still very different from the life cycle of the natural secretion.

The downsides of HGH treatment are joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Growth hormones increase the connective tissues around the body. There were cases of hypertension and brain swelling which is called as cerebral edema. There might be a change toward glucose tolerance and development of diabetes but there is also high risk for cancer. So we go back to the basics of living a healthy life: diet, exercise and less stress.
