January 31, 2012 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT 1 Comment

Growth Hormone

The role of growth hormones in natural bodybuilding is huge. It has multiple metabolic effects . It assists with stimulating muscle growth as well. This is why an understanding of how to increase growth hormone naturally is important to the natural bodybuilder.

Growth Hormone and Protein and Protein Metabolism

Growth hormone stimulates protein anabolism in many different tissues. This, in turn, reflects increased amino acid uptake and protein synthesis. In other words, it helps your body make efficient use of the protein you ingest.

Growth Hormone and Fat Metabolism

An increase in available growth hormone will also enhance the body”s utilization of fat. It stimulates the breakdown triglycerides and oxidation of fat tissue. It literally helps the body burn fat.

Growth Hormone and Carbohydrate Metabolism

Growth hormone is one of several hormones that assist the body in maintaining blood glucose within a normal range. Growth hormone actually suppresses the ability of insulin to take in glucose. This helps avoid carbohydrates being stored as fat.

Increasing Growth Hormone Naturally

You can increase the levels of growth hormone in your body in several ways. By sticking to a balanced and healthy diet, your body will release more growth hormone.

In addition to nutrition, training using heavy squats and deadlifts is another growth hormone stimulation factor. Growth hormone levels rise steadily after doing this type of exercise. Be sure to include them in your program if they are not already.

The final way to increase growth hormone levels is to get adequate rest. The body releases growth hormone when in a state of deep sleep. Getting good rest will do wonders for your recovery as well.

Make the Adjustments

Now it is up to you. Take a good look at the points above. Identify where you need to make changes. Once changes have been identified, get busy making the changes so that you can immediately benefit from increased growth hormone levels.

Tell me in the comments your best tip for boosting growth hormone.
