Because the body's HGH levels decrease with age, the results are generally associated with the aging process.
If you find yourself feeling older than you did on this date last year,
you've probably noticed some of the effects aging has on your body. Those issues may in fact be due to reduced levels of human growth hormones, or HGH. Issues usually chalked up to aging include: increased body fat, decreased lean body mass, reduced muscle mass and strength, less long bone density, lack of energy, greater anxiety, tendency toward isolation, inability to concentrate, and depression.
Those telltale signs of HGH deficiency are common among adults over 60, who often do not know the cause of their symptoms. Without knowing the reason for these difficulties, a person cannot receive treatment for this common problem.
Instead, after encountering such issues, many adults succumb to depression. In order to deal with said negative mood, coping strategies abound, some more counter-productive than others. Examples of such coping mechanisms include the following: unchecked retail spending, taking comfort in fatty foods, self-mutilation, drugs, lashing out at others, and employing a therapist.
Regardless of how effectively some of those activities may relieve the depression resulting from symptoms of aging, they do nothing to stop the actual cause of the symptoms. Also, none of those methods, except for therapy, provide long-term solutions. In fact, they will likely do nothing but accelerate your physical, mental, and/or emotional decline.
In older adults, human growth hormone is found in reduced amounts- up to 50% less than what someone in his 20s would produce. This can lead to many age-related difficulties and complications. In addition to those listed above, human growth hormone deficiency can contribute to weight gain, high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and lipolysis, amongst other symptoms.
So, aside from graying or rapidly thinning hair, just about any sign associated with aging can be linked to HGH. The good news is that this hormone has been made synthetically and is available as a treatment option. HGH therapy has few noticeable side effects and many benefits. For women, some of the benefits include: loss of body fat, elimination of cellulite, slowing of the aging process, increase of lean muscle, disappearance of hot flashes, reduced occurrences of mood swings, and more.
Men receive many of the same benefits women do in addition to the following: decreased cholesterol, reduced stress levels, increased sex drive, and all the related side effects from those improvements.
If those results seem more attractive to you than whatever coping mechanism or self-treatment you currently depend on, then you might want to ask your physician about HGH therapy.
