One can readily see the dramatic difference in cost, especially since the latter, a specific recommended type of exercise<\/strong>, does not even require a gym membership, it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n Advertisement: Rolex (click on photo for more info)<\/em> There is a specific type of exercise that makes the body release a particular hormone that reverses the somatopause. These exercises are targeted at releasing the body\u2019s anti-middle-aging hormone and doesn\u2019t take a lot of time. These exercises are anaerobic and are therefore of short duration. These exercises are sprinting and other forms of a short-burst, get-you-out-of-breath exercises. This shortness of breath will generally occur in only a few seconds.<\/p>\n Researchers show that the somatopause is related directly to the decline of growth hormone (a natural substance produced by the body) during aging. In fact, biomedical research shows that increasing growth hormone can produce an average response of a 14 percent loss in body fat and an 8 percent gain in muscle. This is very significant since we lose muscle due to sarcopenia as we age. Researchers also report improvements in skin, bone density, and cholesterol.<\/p>\n It\u2019s widely reported that several well-known actors take growth hormone injections for its anti-aging, youth rejuvenating properties. And growth hormone injections have been banned for athletes because of their ability to improve performance. Growth hormone is given to children with clinical stature growth problems to help them grow normally. However, growth hormone therapy does not make adults grow taller, but does reverse several measurable clinical factors of the somatopause.<\/p>\n Other than exercise and sprinting type exercises, some inexpensive nutritional supplements, and adequate deep sleep, will do the job naturally. Other exercises to perform include high-intensity cycling , interval running, swimming, interval biking, and almost any anaerobic exercise that you can do for 20 seconds as fast as you can, get out of breath, recover after about 30 seconds and repeat the process. Perform these exercises for 2-3 times per week for about 20 minutes of total exercise time, do not count recovery time. Thus, total workout time will be about 40-45 minuts. These exercises are explained in detail in our \u201cTraining\u201d section.<\/p>\n Most people want to feel good, lose weight, and restore their energy and appearance to youthful levels, as well as desiring a lean, muscular, sprinter’s physique. You\u2019ll be happy to know that even at age 50 and above, that’s what increasing growth hormone naturally can do if you follow the right type of fitness program.<\/p>\n On a more scientific note<\/strong>, what happens to cause the somatopause? The more you know about it, the better off you\u2019ll be. First, we\u2019ll look at the specific hormone in the body (lack thereof) that is responsible.<\/p>\n Somatotropin<\/strong>, the human growth hormone, is secreted by the pituitary gland under the influence of growth hormone releasing hormone. This secretion falls with age from 500 ug at 20 years to 200 ug at 40 years, and 25ug at 80 years with a concomitant fall of IGF-I (Insulin Like Growth Factor I or Somatomedin C), levels from 240 ng\/ml at 30 years, 200 ng\/ml at 40 years, and 40 ng\/ml at 80 years. IGF -1 is the main effector of growth hormone activity.<\/p>\n
