Human Growth Hormone (HGH or hGH) is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Growth Hormone is known to be critical for tissue repair, muscle growth, healing, brain function, physical and mental health, bone strength, energy and metabolism. In short, it is very important to just about every aspect of our life!There are three major factors that affect the production and release of the human growth hormone by your body.
- Exercise: Resistance training offers one of the most influential environments for exercise induced growth hormone release (EIGR). The major factors that determine how much an increase is produced are load and frequency. When we lift heavier loads at a greater frequency (less rest time) we cause our bodies to release greater amounts of growth hormone. Resistance training programs that utilize many large muscle groups at once tend to elicit the greatest growth hormone release as more total muscle fibers are called into play. With endurance training, the release of growth factor depends on intensity, duration, frequency as well as the type of exercise performed. Exercise performed above the lactate threshold for at least 10 minutes will create the greatest growth hormone release both during exercise and for the 24 hour period afterward. Endurance training however, when taken too far, can actually cause a decreased effect on growth hormone release. When it lasts for longer periods of time.
- Sleep: Most of the secretion of the human growth hormone in your body happens while you are asleep, especially before midnight. Growth hormone secretion can be triggered by a number of natural stimuli, the most powerful of which are sleep and exercise. ... One hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after.
- Diet: Eat small high quality balanced meals with adequate protein.
- Meal timings: The Chinese have a saying, eat breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a king and supper like a pauper.
