It's your Mindset, not your Age that determines your Beauty.
Want another reason to exercise regularly? Exercise increases blood growth hormone levels. Human growth hormones are produced by the pituitary gland to fuel childhood growth and maintain tissue and organs throughout life. Beginning in middle age, however, the pituitary gland slowly reduces the amount of growth hormone it produces. Fortunately, human growth hormones can be restored to a more youthful level through regular exercise. The longer you keep your body producing human growth hormones, the longer you can preserve your youthful strength and vitality. According to “Exercise Physiology” by Scott Powers and Edward Howley, the rise in blood growth hormone levels corresponds to the intensity of exercise. When you exercise at maximal work capacity, your growth hormone can reach up to 25 times the level at rest. Experienced exercisers seem to have a higher response than untrained individuals, but beginners can improve their levels right from the start, and eventually build up to more intense workouts. Adding a few HIIT (high intensity interval training) training sessions to your weekly routine will help stimulate growth hormones as well as increase your body’s efficiency at producing and using energy.
Your body also releases growth hormone during sleep. According to a study published in the "Journal of Clinical Investigation," growth hormone levels peak within the first few hours of sleep. The peak is similar to intense exercise, so workout like a lion and sleep like a lamb. You’ll enjoy a much better quality of life. Beauty comes when a Healthy Mindset merges with a Healthy Body.
