HGH is naturally produced in your body by your pituitary gland.


How Does One Gain A Higher Metabolism


Actually, the reason why some people are able to stay slim so easily, is because they have a higher metabolism. Perhaps you’ve heard about this before, but just in case you haven’t, I’ll explain. Your metabolism is, quite simply, the rate at which your body works, the rate at which it burns fuel and puts out energy. These people, (those with a higher metabolism), seem to have boundless energy and seem to be on the move all the time. If you sit down when you want to think of something, you will find that a person with a higher metabolism paces the room in thought. And so on. Naturally, they are burning five times as much energy as you are, and it’s no wonder that they remain slim.

So, how does one gain a higher metabolism? It is all linked to the endocrine system, which uses a complex combination of hormones to control energy production and energy levels within your body, all of which directly control your body’s metabolism. Your metabolism is directly affected when this hormonal balance is off. So you need to be aware of all the different hormones that your body uses, and how they impact your metabolism. So, let’s discuss them in a little more detail, shall we?

One of the main substances that affect your bodily functions is insulin, which works to control levels of glucose within the bloodstream. You eat food, and it is digested, and this process of digestion turns it into sugars. These sugars merge into your bloodstream, but they cannot really be used by the cells for energy. This where the pancreas comes into the picture, as it secretes insulin which causes your liver to turn these sugars to glycogen. This is a complex system, but it is nevertheless, a system that works very well, so long as you eat natural, healthful foods. However, if you habitually eat large quantities of food that is highly processed, or which contains unnaturally high amounts of carbohydrates and saturated fats, you create a ‘sugar-spike’ in your bloodstream. This creates a deadly imbalance in your body, leaving your blood awash with insulin as you pancreas desperately tries to compensate for the sugar. In the short term, you will find yourself putting on weight very easily. But in the long-term if you maintain such an unhealthy diet, your body, from being subjected to so much insulin so regularly, will being to develop what is known as ‘insulin resistance’, which can directly lead to permanent Type-II Diabetes.

You see here how absolutely essential it is to have a natural and healthful diet. A person who has a natural and healthful diet will never encounter these dangerous issues. Type-II Diabetes is now virtually endemic in every area of the globe where there is not a shortage of food. Essentially speaking, though this attitude may seem rather Spartan, you eat to fuel your body, and you should take in only those foods that it actually requires for fuel, and to be healthy. If you insist on eating carbohydrate-rich, and extremely fatty foods, you place an unnatural strain on your body’s systems that it was never designed for, and will pay the price for this callous attitude in terms of excess weight, and ultimately, in terms of developing diabetes.

Your thyroid is another gland in your body that is extremely crucial in regulating the body’s metabolism. The thyroid can, in fact, be said to be the gland in the body that most controls metabolism. As with most of the body’s systems, there is a subtle balance involved here. The thyroid is more or less, directly controlled by the secretions of the pituitary, and works by converting iodine to hormonal T4, as well as T3. These hormones influence a vast variety of factors, including the very ambient temperature of your body. The ambient temperature is crucial, as your body will burn less carbohydrates and fat if it is too low, and you will also feel more lethargic and less energetic. If your body’s temperature is too low, you will be unable to concentrate on tasks, and will get tired easily. So, you can see how important it is that your thyroid functions properly. The hormones, T3 and T4 can also directly affect mood, and how optimistic (or pessimistic) you feel. I am just giving you the rough outline – in reality, the thyroid works to control a host of other bodily functions as well, including fertility.

A number of factors can affect the thyroid, and therefore, how your body functions as well. One thing you must absolutely avoid is dieting too much. Regular and intense dieting is virtually sure to destroy the subtle balance that keeps your thyroid working properly. If you want to burn off excess fat, then exercise. Run and lift weights, which is a potent combination. So, exercise causes you a little pain. Well, doesn’t starving yourself cause you ‘a little pain’ too? One sort of pain (the pain caused by exercise) is highly beneficial. The other sort of pain (the pain of dieting), is extremely harmful to the body. Why is it that so many people always choose the pain of starving themselves to the healthy tiredness generated by exercise? It is a poor choice, and anyone who engages in it will pay the price for their lack of vision, if they ‘binge’ diet in the form of a metabolism that is completely out of kilter, and a body that is basically unhealthy as well.

Besides intense dieting, you can also affect the thyroid through vitamin deficiency. So, make sure that you eat a wide range of foods, and have your doctor prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements if he thinks that it is necessary. Stress can also affect how the thyroid functions, so you need to take measures, such as engaging in medication or yoga, to relieve the stress in your life. Remember that your bodily health comes before even your job or earning money, for money provides you with luxuries, but it cannot ever provide you with good health.

One unavoidable factor that affects the thyroid is pregnancy. This can certainly send your thyroid out of kilter, but is not something to worry about, as your thyroid will revert to normal after pregnancy. It is, of course, essential that your doctor have you tested for issue with your thyroid if you are pregnant, and it is crucial that your doctor prescribe you medication if you do have issues with your thyroid, caused by pregnancy.

Then, there are the so-called ‘sex hormones’, which are testosterone, estrogen, progesterone. These hormones are best known for their role in controlling fertility, virility, and sexual appetites. But what many people don’t know is that these hormones control far more than mere sexual function. Let’s take testosterone for example. Most people associate this hormone with male-function, but the simple fact is that testosterone is required by women as well. It does not make a woman ‘more manly’, but rather, both in women and men, directly controls the ratio of lean muscle to fat in your body. Higher levels of testosterone always mean lean muscle, denser bones, and a better libido. Not exercising, experiencing too much stress, having too much body fat, and suffering from diabetes, all affect production of testosterone.

Estrogen and progesterone are crucial to female function, and they affect the heart, the density of the bones, and memory. Women have serious problems after menopause, when estrogen levels fall. Besides menopause, other factors that also affect levels of estrogen are impurities such as pesticides and plastics, that somehow enter your diet. Smoking is also known to play havoc with levels of estrogen, as can having too much body fat, or experiencing too much stress.

Cortisol is a hormone that is released under stress, and was originally designed as part of the ‘fight or flight’ response. However, if you release adrenaline and cortisol after a stressful conversation at work, you are going to be eating too much immediately afterwards even if you haven’t burnt energy by physically fighting or running. This can lead to a build-up of fat.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is also important, firstly because it directly controls the metabolic rate. It also enables you to have better workouts. Human Growth Hormone falls if you don’t exercise sufficiently, if you don’t sleep enough, or if you take in too many carbohydrates.

As you can see, maintaining the body’s balance takes a careful control of what you eat, making sure you only eat healthful food, as well as exercising sufficiently, and making sure you get enough sleep. Do not take in too much salt, fats, or sugars. Alcohol, caffeine, and smoking are unnatural substances for your body, and will play havoc with your body’s systems if you don’t leave them alone.

Lastly, never underestimate the importance of exercise. Make sure you get enough exercise every day and every week, and you will have a fit and healthy body.
