HEALTHY OPTIONS: WHEN NOT TO EAT

E

HGH levels are highest in children and young adults and then proceed to drop severely from ages 30 to 40. In fact, many studies show that this drop in HGH levels over that span is larger and faster than the drop in HGH from ages 40 to 70. Getting old sucks. Hope was not all lost, however... With further extensive research, I found lots of positive notes on how HGH could be naturally brought back to more youthful levels. These various “bio-hacks” seemed quite doable, and frankly, not at all unhealthy in any way. I saw plenty of ads for synthetic HGH injections and pills. I haven’t tried those, and I probably won’t unless a doctor tells me I should for medical reasons. These artificial methods are not what I’m talking about here. I focused on personally trying and testing the natural techniques to increase HGH levels so I can get my body to feel younger. I have not tried any methods that seemed to be unhealthy in any way to me. When I began this period of research and “testing on myself ” a few years ago, one of our senior analysts mentioned intermittent fasting.

very January, the world is obsessed with “getting healthy.” New Year’s resolutions abound, gym memberships skyrocket, and Internet

searches for fad diets like Paleo and Keto increase threefold... But within a few weeks, most people have ditched their efforts and gone back to old habits. Today, I want to share a technique that has helped me feel immensely healthier... and younger. It’s one of the most powerful tools I’ve found in my wellness and anti-aging arsenal. But first, a bit of background about what has been the key to many of the insights I’ve found... Much of my research has pointed to the importance of one key hormone that the human body produces and how it impacts aging. I’ve had extreme elbow pain in both of my elbows – severe tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. Looking for a non-invasive cure (or at least a symptom reducer), I found that some research suggested the joint issue may have been getting worse due to lower natural human growth hormone (“HGH”) secretion. A drop in HGH generally comes with aging.
