THE ULTIMATE BABY-BOOMER BUMMER
It’s
been called the middle-age spread and the middle-age
blimp-out. But whatever it’s called, it’s
a physical reality for 80 million middle-age
adults. Officially, medical researchers call
this condition the somatopause (sa-mot-a-pause).
SYMPTOMS OF THE SAGING SOMATOPAUSE
Are you middle-age and experiencing weight-gain,
energy decline, and loss of muscle? Are lab
reports showing bad cholesterol going up and
good cholesterol going down? These are all symptoms
of the somatopause that typically begins in
the 30s.
Medical researchers report that the somatopause
is related directly to the decline of HGH growth
hormone (a natural substance produced by the
body during aging).
HORMONE REPLACEMENT
HGH growth hormone replacement therapy has
proven successful in many anti-aging research
experiments. It has produced a 14 percent drop
in body fat and an 8 percent gain in muscle.
Researchers also report improvements in the
skin, bone density, and cholesterol.
These remarkable clinical results are not the
best case outcome. These are the typical, average
results. So you can see why many are calling
HGH therapy the fountain of youth.
Initially, HGH growth hormone injections were
given to children with clinical stature growth
problems to help them grow normally. Today,
there are 15,000 children being treated with
growth hormone.
When given to adults, growth hormone replacement
therapy does not make adults grow taller, but
it does reverse several clinical measures of
the somatopause.
CELEBRITY ANTI-AGING DRUG OF CHOICE
It’s widely reported that several well-known
actors take HGH growth hormone injections for
its anti-aging, youth rejuvenating properties.
HGH has been banned for athletes because of
its ability to improve performance.
While there’s research to show serious
side-effects are possible with this therapy,
everyone knows instinctively -- when you inject
something into your bloodstream that costs $1,500
a month (that can put on muscle like steroids
and pull 30 lbs of body fat off a 200 lb person),
it doesn’t take rocket science to figure
there’s a price to pay in the long run.
Hold on! There’s a better way to get
the benefits of increasing HGH growth hormone.
And it’s 100% natural and it doesn’t
cost a dime — just a little of your time.
THE NATURAL CURE FOR THE SOMATOPAUSE
There are two cures for the middle-age somatopause
— HGH growth hormone injections, or the
natural method, anaerobic exercise.
HGH growth hormone can be increased 530% with
anaerobic exercise — the short-burst,
get-you-out-of-breath quickly, sprinting types
of exercise. You don’t have to spend all
day in the gym, jog for hours, or starve yourself.
But it does require high-intensity exercise
for short periods.
Now, before you go out and run, cycle, or swim
a few 100 meter sprints or power-walk some steep
hills, it’s important to note that anaerobic
exercise is the most productive form of exercise
(from the HGH anti-aging standpoint), but it’s
also the most dangerous. Even young athletes
need to warm-up, and progressively build intensity
levels or risk pulling hamstrings, calf muscles,
and Achilles tears.
Middle-age adults need to slowly ease into
high-intensity anaerobic exercise. And for some
reason, many of my X-jock friends believe that
this warning does not apply to them. Even well-conditioned
athletes, who can jog for miles, need a progressive,
six to eight week buildup period.
Adults can successfully add anaerobic
fitness training to their fitness program,
but there needs to be a slow, progressive buildup
period. And physician clearance should be obtained
before beginning any type of high-intensity
training.
