Somatopause - Middle Age Spread

Somato-what? Ah-Sooo ... Somatopause is one of the ridiculous names that someone has for the growth hormone aging phenomenon. Why can't I come up with this stuff? Growth hormone is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland and its own explanation, it is responsible for growth. GH is very high in children but levels start to decline in almost half of adults. Adult somatopause is directly related to the decline in HGH produced by the body during aging. What is Growth Hormone and why do I want to? GH is released by specialized cells called somatotropes — so the Somatotropes start to 'stop', as we get older.

Growth hormones have many other effects on the body:

• Increases calcium retention, and strengthens and improves bone mineralization

• Increase muscle mass

• Promotes fat burning

• Increase protein synthesis

• Stimulates the growth of all internal organs excluding the brain

• Play a role in fuel homeostasis

• Reduces liver glucose intake

• Promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver

• Contributes to the maintenance and function of the pancreas

• Stimulates the immune system

GH stimulators are - Sex Hormones: Androgen and Estrogen (and yes, the evening's fun with the couple is what I mean) - Sleep - Fasting - Exercise - Laughter

GH is kept secret all day; The spike in seizures occurs within 3-5 hours. The largest and most predictable of these GH peaks occurred about an hour after bedtime. Almost fifty percent of HGH secretions occur during the third and fourth REM sleep stages. In addition to regulating endogenous processes and stimuli, some foreign compounds (such as drugs and endocrine disruptors) are known to affect GH secretion and function. HGH can be increased 530% with anaerobic exercise - fast-breaking, get-out-your-breath fast, type of running exercises. You don't have to spend all day in the gym, jogging hours, or starving yourself. But it requires high intensity exercise for short periods of time.

The idea is to run above the lactation threshold to get the biggest boost from GH secretion. There is some debate over how long, but the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are well documented. Capturing all the statements of 'powerful energy expenditure' likely to increase hormone Growth laughter growth (HGH) by 87%! If you are insulin resistant human growth hormone is definitely your friend and will help in the fight to keep blood sugar stable. Human Growth Hormones also help with muscle recovery and growth, and fat mobilization. As we age, Human Growth Hormones decrease dramatically, and must be stimulated in many ways.
