4 Ways To Boost Growth Hormones For Height Gain

By Rodney Williams

Growth hormones regulate much of our growth, peaking in early adolescence and spurring the large growth spurts seen in children and young teens. Growth hormone is a naturally produced protein in the body, produced for the most part by the pituitary gland, and released throughout the body.

Though our natural levels of growth hormone production slow as we get older, there are many ways to increase the level of hormones released by your body, and through these increased levels of growth hormone and proper height training exercises, increase height naturally.

Listed are four of the most common ways to increase your levels of growth hormone production.

Growth Hormone Pills or Injections - A hot topic in society lately, these HGH supplements are considered steroids, and are therefore banned by the ruling bodies of many professional and amateur sports. These supplements work by drastically increasing the production of HGH, which can lead to tremendous height and muscle growth over short periods of time, but can lead to several serious side effects, including lowered natural production of HGH, diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. The cost, coupled with these potential side effects, should make HGH a no go for most regular people.

Deep Sleep - Achieving deep sleep is vital for so much of our healing and growth potential, as well as our ability to retain information and much more. Many people often equate good sleep with the amount of time slept which is not the case. Deep sleep is the final stage reached during a normal sleep phase, typically taking an hour to take hold after falling asleep. Many people achieve very little deep sleep each night though, even though they may think they're sleeping well. A good way to determine the amount of deep sleep you're getting is to visit a sleep clinic for an overnight study. They can determine exactly how much deep sleep you get each night, and possible reasons why you aren't obtaining more.

Exercise - Putting the body through a rigorous workout is one of the greatest ways to achieve increased growth hormone levels. Short bursts of intense workouts are generally the best way of producing higher levels of HGH, and this can be accomplished through routines such as high intensity sprints, weight lifting, and stair climbing.

Diet - Our diets are what keep us going, the fuel that gives us energy to perform our daily tasks. Without the proper fuel, some functions of our body don't perform as they should, and this is true of HGH production. Too much sugar and carbs in the diet in particular can lessen our production of HGH, and also slow or hinder its distribution throughout our bodies.

Without the proper levels of HGH, your body simply will not grow like it should and can. Increase your production of HGH and watch the effects of your targeted height gaining workouts increase in effect.
