How to Use Fasting to Boost Human Growth Hormone Levels

Fasting has been a tool used by humanity for all of written history. Food deprivation has been used as a form of religious expression for thousands of years.

It's only been in modern times that we could measure and quantify the benefits of fasting, however.

Fasting appears to provide incredible benefits to those that choose to engage in the practice in a thoughtful way.

One way that fasting benefits health is by stimulating the production and circulation of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).

In this world that we live in, rife with obesity and overeating, the benefits of caloric restriction may seem evident on their face — cut calories, lose weight! But it's far more complicated than that. Our bodies depend on a delicate interplay of hormones, such as Human Growth Hormone, Cortisol, Norepinephrine, and Insulin, to perform at their peak.

The stereotypical American diet, loaded with processed foods and refined carbohydrates, has a devastating impact on hormone balance.

It leads to Insulin sensitivity and suppresses Human Growth Hormone and Norepinephrine production. It causes Cortisol levels to skyrocket, resulting in issues related to chronic inflammation.

All of these hormones, with their highly varied effects on human physiology, have an impact on the body's utilization of dietary calories and stored fat. Fasting has a positive impact on the ideal levels of all of these hormones.

What is Human Growth Hormone and Why is it Important?

Human Growth Hormone is a powerful agent of cellular metabolism. It helps maintain the body's optimal function by encouraging the revitalization and rejuvenation of the body's physiological systems.

During childhood development, HGH levels are high, facilitating growth, most notably during the growth spurt of puberty.

After puberty ends, Human Growth Hormone drops to a level associated with optimal physiological renewal.

The older that we get, beyond thirty, the less effective our body's become at producing sufficient Human Growth Hormone.

Fasting is one of the methods by which we can facilitate improved HGH production by the pituitary gland. Human Growth Hormone Deficiency is associated with a variety of symptoms that are detrimental to health, such as loss of bone mineral density, reduced strength, and muscle mass, weight gain, impaired immune function, slow healing, depression, and more.

How Does HGH Work?

After HGH is released by the pituitary gland, it circulates through the bloodstream and has a direct impact on some processes, but most of it travels directly to the liver, where it is broken down into Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and other hormones.

Human Growth Hormone is produced at its highest volume while we are asleep. Human Growth Hormone breaks down stored glucose, in the form of glycogen, to create a pool of energy for the body to use in the morning.

Part of the reason why fasting is useful for improving Hormone Balance and function is that of the myth of breakfast.

The body does a lot of work to get you the energy that you need to start your day from your existing supply.

Eating a big meal just before bed disrupts this natural hormone pattern, as does eating a plentiful breakfast.

In reality, lunch should be the most substantial meal of the day, dinner should be second, and breakfast should be considered more of a nutritious snack than a critical meal.

Fasting to Boost HGH

While HGH injection therapy and Sermorelin Acetate are an option for patients with diagnosed Hypopituitarism, people looking to bolster their endogenous Human Growth Hormone levels naturally may be interested in utilizing the benefits of fasting to increase HGH secretion.

Fasting is unique in that it boosts HGH levels while simultaneously reducing the body's need for Insulin. The body draws more energy from glycogen, which encourages fat breakdown while still retaining strength.

For individuals concerned with obesity or Type-2 Diabetes, fasting provides impressive benefits. Even among those merely looking to boost their energy levels and improve hormone balance, fasting can bring about interesting changes.

Human Growth Hormone levels rise dramatically, dependent upon the length of the fast and the severity of caloric restriction.

Part of the reason that HGH injections can be dangerous for healthy patients is that the body experiences an influx of Human Growth Hormone in addition to already normal Insulin levels. HGH and Insulin are supposed to act like levers — one goes up, the other goes down.

Fasting creates a physiological situation where the body not only produces Human Growth Hormone while we sleep but also throughout the entire time of the day that we choose not to eat.

Intermittent fasting is one of the most effective means to encourage increased HGH production in a structured and healthy way. Fasting appears to have profoundly beneficial effects on cancer risk, blood pressure, and glucose levels.

What is Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a daily ritual in which an individual chooses a set portion of the day where he or she refrains from eating. This period generally ranges from 12-16 hours.

Some studies suggest that women may opt for 12 for the best results, while men may choose 14-16 hours, because of physiological differences between the sexes.

The body spends half the day or more utilizing its stores of food for energy and uses dietary calories for the rest of the day.

This is a more natural balance that prevents the body from experiencing the negative physiological symptoms associated with overeating and constant reliance on dietary calories.

Fasting vs. Caloric Restriction Without Fasting

When the body experiences a sudden and rapid change in caloric intake, it responds by burning muscle mass. This is not the case with fasting. By still providing the calories that your body needs (with moderate caloric restriction if you wish to lose weight), but changing your schedule of eating, you can encourage weight loss while also preserving muscle mass.

Consider HGH Injections for Significant Human Growth Hormone Deficiency

At a certain point in a person's life, the body's ability to produce sufficient Human Growth Hormone declines. This is a result of physiological changes that take place beginning in the late twenties, which continue for the rest of the lifespan, slowly impairing the body's physiological ability to meet its own energy demands.

For patients suffering from Somatopause, or age-related Human Growth Hormone Deficiency, bio-identical Human Growth Hormone injections can help the body retain optimal hormone balance and retain the benefits of healthy HGH levels.

Sermorelin Acetate is also a valid option for patients looking to bolster and restore Growth Hormone levels.
