Natural Ways to Increase Your Growth Hormone Levels

There are many benefits to increase growth hormone levels, but you want to do it in a natural, safe way. Read more about human growth hormone and the dangers of synthetic HGH here.

As we age, our body produces only a fraction of what it did in our youth. Many people mistakenly think the only way to do so is by taking synthetic growth hormone, which something we don’t recommend.

But there are natural ways to increase your growth hormone levels. Increased growth hormone levels will slow down the aging process, keep you fit, and improve the quality of your life.

Try these tips for increasing your growth hormone levels in a safe way, natural way:

• Get plenty of quality deep sleep at night. Growth hormone is released during the deep sleep cycle and is critical to muscle recovery. Sleep deprivation will only age you more quickly.

• Exercise intensity is key. While you don’t want to overdo it and risk injury, make sure you are working out with sufficient intensity.

• We highly recommend Phil Campbell’s Sprint 8 Routine. There is a lot of science behind this routine, and we have personally experienced the incredible benefits of it. It is an excellent way to increase growth hormone in a safe way.

• Take a brief nap when you can during the day. One 30 or 60 minute catnap can be very beneficial. Even President Kennedy was known for taking naps.

• Meditate briefly each day to lower your stress cortisol levels. We recommend The Relaxation Response. Read more about The Relaxation Response here.

• Allow your body to adequately recover from your exercise routine. Do not overtrain. Read more about the symptoms of overtraining syndrome here. For tips on how to help recovery after your workouts, read our article about post-fitness workout tips and secrets.

• Keep your workouts limited to short, intense bursts. Any workout that last longer than one hour is absurd. We have had a lot of success limiting workout sessions to less than 30 minutes. Keep them intense, but short.

• Consider splitting your weight lifting routine into even smaller bursts, twice per day. For some, this is not practical with their busy schedule. But if you have a home gym, consider the double split weight routine.

• Incorporate the big movements into your weightlifting routine (full squats, deadlifts, bent over rows). The squat exercise in particular will help release growth hormone. We recommend the 20 rep squat program that is mentioned in Dr. Randall Strossen’s book, Super Squats. Click here to read more about the benefits of the full squat exercise.

• Lighten up and take it easy – Higher and more prolonged levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, can have major negative effects on our body, including high blood pressure, lower immunity, an imbalance with your blood sugar, decreased bone density, a decrease in muscle tissue, and increased abdominal fat.

Diet and Nutritional Tips for Releasing Growth Hormone:

• Decrease (avoid if possible) refined sugar – ESPECIALLY two hours after working out.

• Drink alcohol in moderation.

• Stay away from the bad fats as much as possible. Limit fast food intake as much as possible.

• Eat lean cuts of meat.

• Take in high quality protein throughout the day.

Try these natural, safe methods to increase human growth hormone levels. They are proven.
