Can Human Growth Hormones Extend Your Youth

By Robert Franklin

Human growth hormones are not just something that body builders take. Produced in your Anterior Pituitary gland they play a big role in cell reproduction and in your immune system function. Natural production of these hormones in your body starts to fall off when you turn twenty and is at half of its original production when you turn sixty. Several factors contribute to the decline in production of these hormones which accelerates our natural aging posses. Genetically there are few resins why, outside of not needing these hormones, our bodies slow down their production.

When you were a baby your mother's milk gave you an extra boost of these growth hormones. This is why babies who was not breast fed, in early development, are smaller and less developed than those that were. Some scientists theorize that the resin our bodies slow down this production is that it's only been in the past one hundred years that the average age of the human population has surpassed fifty. Giving the body no real resin to waste energy on these hormones.

Think about it hard enough and you'll probably have to agree with them. The farther back in time you go to the younger the average life expectancy was. Two thousand years ago, which is not much time in evolutionary development, the average person lived into their thirties giving the body no resin what so ever to produce these hormones.

The problem we face today is that our life span has reached a point that we now need these hormones in order to maintain a healthy body and productive life.

Artificial Human Growth Hormone like body builders takes should not be confused with the dietary supplements that if taken regularly can feed and substantially boost your anterior pituitary gland's ability to produce these hormones.

If taken on a regular base dietary supplement high in Vitamin B6, Hydrochloide, Leucine, Glutamine, Hydrochloride, Gama Amino Butyric Acid, Soleucine Valine Colostrum, Ornithine hydrochloride, and Glycine can normalize your anterior pituitary gland's ability to produce hormones.

The older you are the longer it well takes for these compounds to take effect. This is due to your anterior pituitary glands function being been shut down and needing time to repair, but if taken regularly it should be up to full production within a year. To feel the life time benefits feeding your anterior pituitary gland the nutrients it needs. Start taking these supplements in your thirties to sustain production of your growth hormones. This can only benefit your body by slowing your ageing posses. This works by giving your cells the hormones it needs to reproduce themselves like when you, we're younger. By doing this all of your body's organs well be able to renew themselves and preserve your health. - 17268

Start With the Best Muscle Building Supplements By Reading Reviews

By Aaron Wilding

With all the different supplements on the market these days, it can be hard to know which brands or products are the best to buy. One way to find good muscle building supplements to purchase is to look at user reviews and awards.

You can find user review sites all over the internet. Sometimes the reviews are helpful, but sometimes they are not. Don't base your opinion about a particular supplement on just one review, make sure you read several from trusted sources to really get an idea of how good a supplement might be.

One other place you can go to find out which muscle building supplements are worth trying is to look for which ones have won awards. There are several sites that put together brand and individual supplement awards each year. For example, Bodybuilding.com recently ran their 2009 awards contest.

These awards are based on not just which products are the top sellers, but also on which ones users voted for the most. In this way awards are also like a large group review of the different products on the market. For example, for four years now BSN nutrition has won the 'Brand of the Year' award. Do you think, then, that this is a brand worth considering?

Awards like this have given companies like BSN nutrition a good following. This is one way that they become a brand that others use and respect. But this doesn't just go for BSN. Others that have constantly been nominated for such awards include Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, Universal, and many others.

If you're looking to add any muscle building supplements to your nutrition plan you should start with the products and brands that others are having success with. But, you can read all the reviews in the world and you'll still never know if something is going to work for you until you give it a shot yourself. Different supplements work better for different people, so get ready to do some experimenting.

Keep it safe while you're experimenting with different supplements, but you're going to have to put the time and money into it to find what works. But also keep in mind that if your nutrition and workout discipline are not in line yet you may not get good results from your supplements anyway.

So work hard to get your workout and nutrition plan right first. Once you have that part down you can start looking into which muscle building supplements to try. That's when you'll find that they give you the most bang for your buck. - 17268

Discover How to Determine Daily Calorie Needs to Rapid Muscle Gain

By Cecil Kelly

Adequate nutrition and calories from good sources are of primary importance to gain lean muscle. You need to eat big to bulk up; there is no way around it. But exactly how much is "big"? Use the formula given here to calculate your own requirements.

Muscle building programs revolve around optimizing daily caloric needs to your specific requirements. Eating more can make you gain fat, not muscle. And eating less can make you never gain the bulky muscles you wish to build. Here is the four part formula:

1) Lean muscle mass calculation: Measure your body fat percent with the help of a skin caliper. For instance consider it is 10%. If you weigh--0 pounds, 10% of it is-- pounds. This is the amount of your fat mass. Subtract this number from your total body mass (140 minus--) to get your lean muscle mass - 126 pounds.

2) Find RMR (resting metabolic rate): RMR, the number calories a day you require to just keep on breathing, can be calculated by multiplying lean muscle mass by 10 and adding 500. In our example, it works out to 1760 calories (126 x 10 + 500).

3) Calculation of calorie intake to stay the same weight: Now let us find out your daily caloric intake by taking into consideration your level of activity. Multiply RMR by your Activity Index to calculate how much you need to maintain your current weight. If you are mostly sedentary, your activity index is 1.2. If you are moderately active, your activity index is 1.4. If you are very active, your activity index is 1.6

For example if you have a moderate lifestyle, you shall need (1760x1.4=) 2464 calories a day to weigh the same.

4) Optimizing additional calorie intake: Add 500 calories to your calculations so far and this should be your ideal calorie intake to gain muscle not fat. If you feel you are gaining fat and not muscle, cut down by 250 and if you are not gaining any muscle at all add 250 more.

Try out your nutrition plan for two weeks before deciding whether to add or subtract calories. Work out with intensity and take adequate rest to put yourself firmly on the path to muscularity. - 17268

Discover 7 Workout Rules to Build Muscle Fast

By Cecil Kelly

Here are 7 rules to help you make your workout effective and turn your skinny body into a huge mass of muscle in quick time.

How to select exercises: Choosing exercises that use free weights and bodyweight is the best way on how to bulk up fast. Never use the machines. You need a good range of motion to strengthen muscles and joints. Also go for the heaviest weights that you can lift over 5-8 reps.

How many sets to perform per workout: Less is more for the skinny beginner. 12 to 16 sets are all you should perform per workout to really gain muscle. There are many advantages of low volume training over high volume training, like better recovery from workouts, no soreness after exercise, no overtraining, faster muscle growth during recovery time, etc.

How many sets to perform per exercise: Beginners and skinny guys are prescribed 3 to 5 sets per exercise. As you advance and start gaining some muscle and get used to the training program, 1 to 3 sets per exercise is enough.

How many reps to perform per set: Most muscle building programs promote the 8-12 rep range but it is a much generalized range that doesn't help skinny people grow any muscle at all. Use much heavier weights and get into the 5-8 rep range to stimulate muscle growth. Hypertrophy happens only with heavy stress that is not very repetitive.

How fast should the rep speed be: Reps need to be fast for the skinny guys - a second at most for lifting and two seconds at most for lowering. As long as you don't jerk you can do it speedily. Slow, deliberate motion that is advised in many programs does no good to the skinny lifter.

How much to rest between sets: Depending on the intensity of the exercise, take a rest of a minute to a minute and a half between sets. Advanced exercisers need much more rest - from 2 to 4 minutes. You will need more and more rest as you build more muscle and gain weight.

How long to train in one session: Never go beyond 30-45 minutes in one session. This is the optimum duration of a training session for testosterone to build up to peak levels. Any more than that and cortisol (catabolic hormone) will start eating away your muscle tissues. - 17268

Frbiz.com Reports Life In A European Health Claims Wasteland

By Frank Zhou

Ka-CHING! Hear that? No it's not the sound of overflowing cash registers as consumers throw endless wads of euros at scientifically-backed, healthy foods in greater numbers than ever before.

Rather, it's the metallic snap of padlocks chaining the doors of food research laboratories across western Europe. No need for them any more.

Maybe they can be sold to the pharma industry - they may well need them as there'll probably be a huge increase in demand for drugs now that a vast majority of nutrient and health relationships have turned out to be bogus. Zut!

Say what you like about the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) scientific methods - misguided, methodical, harsh, not-harsh-enough, unfathomable - but their effects are being felt right here, right now in the EU's 27-member states. And that means reduced spending on supposedly healthy foods. Not to mention drastically reduced innovation.

The first opinions were written into the Official Journal of the European Union on October 21 and were followed up by another batch a week or so later. Negative opinions for the likes of omega-3s, probiotics, herbs and more are now law. In theory, local authorities will be able to prosecute companies breaching these laws in six months.

At least two companies: Red Bull (in regard to taurine) and Efamol (omega-3 supplements), have said they will not change their marketing because of negative opinions so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Of course positive opinions for the likes of plant sterols/stanols, vitamin D and calcium were also written into the register.

Time to see a (economic) shrink

In addition to the first opinions becoming law in October, the month kicked off with EFSA rejecting 70 per cent of 523 article-.1 generic health claims. Bummer. For industry, October has been the cruellest month. And so to the effects.

What we are talking is reduced spending on research and development; on marketing; reduced spending by consumers. It means a smaller healthy foods industry in Europe; investments in other lands; the best minds of a nutrition research generation, lost.

We are talking billions of euros sucked from the economies of the EU.

Don't believe me? Ask Barry Callebaut. Ask GAT Food Essentials. Ask Ocean Spray, Brudy Technology, Valio. Ask Clasado, Merck and Martek Biosciences. Ask Beneo-Orafti and DSM Nutritional Products. Ask Danone, Yakult, Danisco, Chr Hansen, Indena, Bio Serae, Naturex, Frutarom, Solbar, Lycored, Lallemand, Ingredia...I could go on...all have been affected by EFSA's negative opinions.

These companies are trying to put a positive spin on events, talking about the process as a "learning experience" and the like, but the fact is concern at the situation has moved into overdrive. Concern has become EXTREME ANXIETY.

You only have to see a 17-page document like the one issued by three prominent EU-wide trade groups last week to see that.

For many years these companies and others, along with the trade associations they are members of, have been playing devil's advocate, warning Europe's 500 million citizens of the economic catastrophe that awaits if companies are unable to make health claims.

Well, those fears have become reality. They are not arriving, still something unformed on the horizon, some distant blip that may become threatening at some indiscriminate point in the future. They have filled the horizon, to some, looming spectre-like.

Time to come clean

Fair enough, I hear you say. There's been about enough of this wool-pulling-over-the-eyes going on. It's time these deceitful evil-doers were put to the sword or rational science - that was one of the aims of the regulation after all. If the science isn't there, the science isn't there.

For the sceptical it's 'told-you-so' time. Big Food has for too long been peddling countless forms of voodoo nutrition so it can lift billions of euros from the innocent, ill-informed pockets of 500 million gullible western European consumers (hell let's include the kids too - health claims are for everybody!).

It's a righteous thing that EFSA has ridden into health claims town on a big, shiny scientific horse of uber-logic carrying a huge health claims bashing, anti-fun jousting stick? Party's over folks.

Oh no - not EFSA scientists! Boooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Quick close the door - maybe they'll go away.

Of course they don't go away. And they won't go away. That's why the talk of a legal challenge grows. Maybe this thing has got so convoluted only a high court of the land can sort it out and rethink the burdens of proof.

For now at least, as T.S. Eliot wrote in his early 20th century poem, "The Wasteland", (which, as a common hack, I am near-obligated to reference since I have included the word 'wasteland' in my headline), it really is, "Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight" for hundreds and potentially thousands of health claims in Europe and all the investment that goes on around them.
