Anti-Aging Supplements for Life Extension

Life Extension And Staying Youthful

It would take me many pages to give you all there is about life extension, or delaying the onset of aging, and here I’m going to simplify it into a shorter form.

As we grow older, we suffer major declines in the hormones that we need to stay healthy. The main ones being testament , estrogen, progesterone ,melatonin and growth hormone.  This one growth hormone, is by far the most important.

It has been shown that while the aging pituitary gland adequately produces Growth Hormone, it’s secretion from the pituitary is down-regulated with age. 49 specific amino acids and vitamins have been shown to help maintain a healthy pituitary.

Natural growth hormone causes the body to:

  • Burn body fat
  • Increase muscle mass and skin thickness
  • Improve immune function
  • Improve well being
  • Improve sleep
  • Increase metabolism
  • Thicker hair
  • Feeling of well being
  • Energy
  • Increase bone density

And overall, you reduce the probability that you will spend the last years of your life in a nursing home.

In addition Growth Hormone stimulates the growth of organs that shrink with age, i.e. the heart, liver, kidneys, and thyroid.

Growth hormone can also stimulate production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), which helps to optimise communication between the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems.

The principle behind the use of multiple growth hormone releasing compounds at the same time is called ’stacking’. The theory behind this principle is that since many of these compounds operate to stimulate GH release by different mechanisms, taking them together will cause a larger release effect.

(I will cover GH more in depth if you request it)! Reply to this email and let me know if you would want a separate newsletter with more info?

3 Supplements To Raise Your Growth Hormone (GH) Levels

L’Arginine & L’Ornithine

L’ Arginine is an essential amino acid. L’Ornithine can also be used together since it metabolizes to L’Arginine in the body. L’Arginine is required for the body to synthesise nitric oxide, which enables the arterial system to retain its youthful elasticity. Nitric oxide also helps to produce endothelial relaxation factor, which is needed by the arterial system to expand and contract with each heartbeat.

L’Arginine/ L’Ornithine /L’ Glutamine have been shown to promote natural growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary gland. GH promotes healthy anabolic metabolism throughout the body, helping maintain protein synthesis within cells.

GH release is greater when releasers are taken on an empty stomach before exercise, awaking or at bedtime.

GH release may be improved if you take 1/2 to 1 gram of Pantothenic acid at the same time.

Diets Don’t Work, Habits Do

Filed under: Health and Fitness, Nutrition, Personal Trainer — Tags: , — nbarrett @ 2:46 pm

Hi all! How are you?

It is now Fall and once again the holidays are approaching. It is a time to establish good habits, as for some people the holidays start on Halloween, and run through the 1st of the Year!!

Diets don’t work!

As you may know the things we are doing today are a learned behavior .  All the things we do today, good, or not so good, are part of a habit/pattern, that started out one day at a time, until they became part of us.

Diets are a cop-out. Diets are a way to trick ourselves into thinking we are doing something good and healthy for our bodies, while promising ourselves that we can still eat too much of everything we once we’re done being healthy.

You can’t be “done” being healthy any more than you can be “done” weeding a garden. Your body needs regular tending.

Client Case Study

One of my clients, I’ll call her “Client ‘A,’” started out believing in diets. Client ‘A’ was about 45 years old, and weighed about 50 lbs more than she wanted to. She was marketing in the film industry, and very self- conscious. She had tried a trendy low-carb  diet , she had tried a protein – only diet, and had even tried the infamous ” nutritional cookie” diet, but nothing she had tried gave her lasting results, let alone the 50lbs loss she wanted.

“Whatever I do, I don’t seem to lose weight. I think I’m born to be fat,” she told me glumly at our first session. She couldn’t see it for herself, but just by continuing to try to get healthy, she was heading in the right direction.

But one of the problems client ‘A’ had before ,was that she never made permanent changes in her habits. Like many of my of my potential clients, ‘A’ wanted a short-term solution , a quick fix, that would allow her to go back to eating whatever she wanted eventually. Believe me, if there were any such solution, everyone would be lean already.

The secret to weight loss isn’t even a secret. You already know it. The ’secret’ is just that you have to learn to make healthy choices, and do it often enough, so that they replace existing not so good choices. It may sound hard to learn to make healthy choices most of the time, but your brain provides you with a handy coping mechanism; the easiest way to do something most of the time is to make it a habit!
