Diets high in carbohydrates may be appropriate in many situations, but as hyperglycemia (high blood carbohydrates) tend to terminate or reduce the human growth hormone (HGH), this strategy may not be appropriate when the optimal adaptation is the priority . Fat taken before exercise has also been found to reduce human growth hormone (HGH) (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 76 (6): 1418-22, 1993).
How the high-carb and fat diets cause HGH decline
The answer to why and how the high-carb and fat diets cause HGH decline is simple and yet interesting.
You must remember that certain carbohydrates have high glycemic index.
Glycemic index: The Glycemic Index (GI) is a scale that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods by how much they raise blood glucose levels compared to a standard food. The standard food is glucose or white bread. Therefore, if the carbohydrates have a high glycemic index (i.e. they are more sugary), they stimulate insulin secretion which, in turn, contributes to a reduction in human growth hormone (HGH) (Metabolism 48(9): 1152-6). Therefore, processed carbohydrates or, in other words, “human-made,” carbohydrates need to be limited in your diet. Examples of such carbohydrates include white and refined carbs e.g. pasta, white bread, bagels, crackers, white rice, pretzels, chips, and refined sugars.
Likewise, it has been noted that losing fat around your abdominal region can help boost HGH production because fat in that area can cause HGH production to be impaired. For the same reason, consuming fat at that time has shown to reduce HGH production. The best strategy, therefore, is to consume a low-fat diet. Sources of such fat diet include junk food, French fries, fast food and anything that is deep-fried.
Therefore, if you want to achieve and maintain the sufficient and healthy levels of HGH, you must consider practicing the following dietary tips with regularity:
Eating at regular times
Choosing a variety of foods from all food groups
Limiting sugars and sweets
Reducing the amount of fat you eat
Including foods high in fiber
Limiting salt, alcohol and caffeine
In addition, consuming a oral diet-based supplement such as HGH Advanced naturally acts in your body to stimulate “spontaneous yet progressive” release of HGH. This gradual release or secretion of HGH gives your body enough time to help prepare itself for the positive health and anti-aging effects. As a result, the risk of side effects is actually minimized
