Health With Aging

Healthy life habits are very important in dealing with negative health issues associated with aging. 

One concern is the unavoidable decline in the levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) as we age. HGH helps to slow muscle loss which begins after the age of 40.  Since higher levels of HGH help to make you healthier and stronger it is important to work to maintain these levels.

To increase your body’s HGH levels:

  • Limit sugar intake
  • Exercise
  • Ingest whey or other easily digestible, high quality protein after exercise
  • Avoid fructose
