HGH Up

We frequently receive questions about Human Growth Hormone, its facts, how to use it, who should use it and so on. I think the sudden insurgence of questions has to do with the growing awareness people have about HGH and the benefits it offers. So often you hear of several ways in which it can help every individual. Some benefits noted include increasing muscle mass, providing unlimited natural energy; reverse the effects of aging and increasing metabolism.

The majority of questions we respond to have something to do with figuring out what makes HGH the “miracle” product that everyone should take. To start to answer that question we often provide our customers with a brief definition of HGH. Human Growth Hormone is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland located in the center of the brain. In every individual, the pituitary gland secretes HGH, which assists in an array of health functions in the human body. Research has found that the levels of growth hormone begin to naturally decrease in the human body around the time your turn 30. Following that age on average, levels being to further plummet at a relatively consistent rate. Researchers believe that because of this drop it allows many mid-aging health problems and diseases to more regularly occur. (For example: Weight gain, loss of energy, muscle loss, wrinkles, alertness, vision loss, a weakened immune function, and more.) To combat these negative of effects we suggest using an HGH supplement or releaser such as Bio Renue for Men by BioPharm, Growth Hormone by Schwartz Laboratories, Renewal HGH Power by Always Young, or many more of the other products we provide for out customers.

Research has found that supplements provide an effective release of Human Growth Hormone for the human body. Often virtually providing similar levels that you would get from costly HGH injections. With supplements, you are most often provided with a combination of HGH in a tablet, capsule, or liquid form. The directions usually will say to ingest the supplement prior to bedtime, because HGH is actively produced in the pituitary gland during rest. Unlike Injections, supplements do not contain any synthetic blend HGH, but do contain herbal natural ingredients. Some researchers mention that the correct combination of herbs can stimulate the pituitary gland, causing it to produce more abundant levels of natural growth hormone. By doing so your body is forced to somewhat reverse the effects of aging that have already begun. Doesn’t seem like it makes all too much sense, but according to research HGH Supplements provide the body with a natural way to boost the production of growth hormone. We hear so often that people who regularly use HGH products accordingly with proper diet and exercise see amazing results. Some of the results we’ve hear include; increased lean muscle mass, energy increase, decreased body fat, reduced signs of aging, relief of PMS symptoms, and the list goes on! Growth hormone is great for everyone because of its numerous effects on the body. HGH is able to allow everyone to look, feel and perform at his or her best. Always consult your physician prior to starting any new supplement or medicinal product.

Take care of your heart people

Congestive heart failure is a condition that no one wants to learn they have. It can’t be cured, but the good news is, it can be managed by making healthy lifestyle choices and with certain medications. Congestive heart failure (or heart failure) is caused by high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary artery disease. It reduces the ability of the heart to pump blood to the lungs and or to muscles of the body. Symptoms of congestive heart failure include dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath, a result of the build up of fluid in the lungs.

Since congestive heart failure cannot be cured, here are some things you can do to lessen the symptoms:

- Be mindful of your salt intake. It will lower your blood pressure and help you to eliminate fluids. This will cut down the likelihood of edema.

- Lose weight. A ten percent drop in body fat will reduce the workload on your heart.

- Eat the right foods. Fish, whole grains and lots of fruits and vegetables will provide your body with the essential “good fat” and nutrients it needs.

- Getting enough exercise will help reduce body fat as well as add years to your life.

- Most likely your doctor will put you on a diuretic to help keep your fluid retention at a normal level. Eat foods that are high in potassium because diuretics deplete the body’s potassium levels.

- Stay clear of sick people because bronchitis and respiratory infections double the symptoms of congestive heart failure.

A weakened heart muscle can compromise several systems in your body. If you are diagnosed with a heart condition, make sure you take your medications as prescribed and watch your diet and exercise levels so you can live as symptom free as possible.

12 Best Power Foods for Women

Parmasean Cheese – Strengthens bones
Calcium is key for preventing osteoporosis (especially in your 20s). Yogurt and nonfat milk help, but who wants them three times a day? Work Parmesan cheese into your diet; its 340 mg of calcium per ounce – compared to about 200 mg in cheddar or Swiss – goes a long way toward your 1000 mg/day quota.

Apples – Boosts immunity
Smart and sweet, apples are rich in quercetin, an antioxidant that can bolster your body’s disease-fighting abilities. In one study from Appalachian State University, just 5 percent of people who ate more quercetin came down with a respiratory infection over a two-week period, compared to 45 percent of those who didn’t.

Lentils – Builds your iron stores
Low-calorie lentils pack about 30 percent of your daily iron per cup cooked. About 12 percent of young women have low iron stores – at the extreme, that leads to anemia. But one study found that even women who were iron deficient (not anemic) had poorer performances on skill tests than those with normal levels.

Broccoli  - Fights wrinkles

A cup of broccoli has 100 percent of your vitamin C—crucial for production of collagen, which gives skin elasticity. It’s also rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This vitamin assists in cell turnover, so old skin cells are replaced with fresh ones.

Potatoes – Healthy carbs

Potatoes contain a fat-fighting compound called resistant starch that can help keep weight in check. One medium spud with the skin will run you just around 100 calories, and with more potassium than bananas, potatoes also help fight heart disease by keeping blood pressure low.

Spinach – Dense with key nutrients

This leafy green is high in vitamin K and also contains calcium and magnesium – a combo that may help slow the breakdown of bone that occurs as you get older – as well as folate, a B vitamin that helps prevent birth defects. And it packs just 7 calories per cup raw!

Dark Chocolate – Combats stress and fights disease
European researchers found that people who ate an ounce and a half of dark chocolate – about 200 calories worth—every day for two weeks produced less of the stress hormone cortisol and reported feeling less frazzled. Cortisol causes a temporary rise in blood pressure; consistently high levels up your risk for depression, obesity, heart disease and more.

Mushrooms – Delivers cancer-fighting antioxidants
One study showed that women who ate just one third of an ounce of raw mushrooms a day (that’s about one button mushroom) had a 64 percent reduction in breast cancer risk. Other research suggests that mushrooms reduce the effects of aromatase, a protein that helps produce estrogen – a major factor in some breast cancers.

Sardines – Fights heart disease

These pungent little fish are good sources of omega-3 acids, which decrease inflammation that can lead to blocked arteries. They also prevent blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes, and keep blood vessels smooth and supple. Three ounces of sardines have about 1.3 grams of omega-3s (you need about 1 gram a day).

Avocados – Helps flatten your belly

Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, which has been shown to help you drop weight, including from your troublesome middle. In one study, people who got the most monos (about 23 percent of their daily calories) had about 5 pounds less belly fat than those who ate a high-carb, lower-fat diet.

Bell Peppers – Protects your eyes
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts are leading causes of vision loss, but foods rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C, like bell peppers, can keep eyes sharp. A cup of sliced red, yellow and orange peppers contains nearly twice your daily vitamin C, plus 116 micrograms (mcg) of lutein, and 562 mcg of zeaxanthin.

Whole Grain Pastas – Boosts energy
Whole-grain pasta is loaded with B vitamins, which help your body convert food into energy. And unlike processed grain products that lack fiber, whole grains are more filling than their refined counterparts. In other words, you’ll feel satisfied with fewer calories.

1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces soft goat cheese
1/2 tablespoon 2% milk
4 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, patted dry
6 basil leaves
3/4 cup walnut halves, toasted and finely chopped
1 12-ounce jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and patted dry

Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex

An over-the-counter dietary supplement, the best advantage of glucosamine is that it’s completely safe; it’s a natural, non-toxic compound; and now, there is mounting evidence that glucosamine not only helps ease joint discomfort but also *may* help improve the structure of joints. Suddenly, every company in America ‘hit the market’ with a glucosamine product they claim is the solution you have been looking for.

Glucosamine is an amino sugar necessary for the construction of connective tissue and healthy cartilage. It is the critical building block of proteoglycans and other substances that form protective tissues. These proteoglycans are large protein molecules that act like a sponge to hold water giving connective tissues elasticity and cushioning effects. This also provides a buffering action to help protect against excessive wear and tear of the joints. Without glucosamine, our tendons, ligaments, skin, nails, bones, mucous membranes, and other body tissues cannot properly form.

Normally we generate sufficient amounts of glucosamine in our bodies to form the various compounds needed to generate connective tissue and healthy cartilage. But gradually the rate at which our bodies use glucosamine begins to gradually change with our increased athletic activity, injuries, burns, arthritis and other inflammatory disorders, age and other chronic degeneration. In such situations our bodies may not be able to keep up with the demand for glucosamine, leading to a decrease in the amount of proteoglycans produced. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of protective lubricating substances like the synovial fluids, which cushion our joints, and protects them from damage. In a nutshell, more glucosamine is needed but less is produced.

This is why researchers began to suggest extra dietary supplements containing glucosamine. Their studies showed that oral glucosamine could be easily absorbed and lead to the stimulation of healthy new cartilage and other protective molecules. The studies also showed that oral glucosamine carried this benefit without any toxicity, contraindications, or other harmful side effects. This is a stark contrast to dangerous COX-2 medications such as Celebrex or Vioxx. Vioxx was removed from the market in September 2004 and which may have been tied to tens of thousands of heart attacks and strokes.

Glucosamine must be taken every day. This is a slow acting supplement that may take a month or more to show any effect. Dosage in most studies was 1,500 mg of glucosamine per day. The product is available in powder, pill and cream form. Glucosamine in a cream form may be nice for your skin, but there’s no evidence suggesting that Glucosamine alone can be absorbed through the skin. Anecdotal evidence suggests that liquid glucosamine, in fact, is the best form to take.

In several countries, glucosamine is approved and regulated as a prescription drug. But in the United States, glucosamine is a nutritional supplement, and is therefore not tested or regulated as other prescriptions are. Of late, market tests have shown that some supplements do not contain the amount of Glucosamine advertised on the label. Be sure to select a reputable brand and ensure that their manufacturing facilities are GMP (good manufacturing practices) compliant. It is important to note that dosages of glucosamine vary. The vast majority of manufacturers put 1,500 mg of glucosamine per day in their products.

There do not appear to be any major side effects other than mild gastrointestinal upset for some people. Those with diabetes however need to consult with a physician and have their condition monitored (as usual). Persons allergic to shellfish should avoid glucosamine and due to lack of data, pregnant or nursing individuals should avoid glucosamine. Overall, glucosamine is very well tolerated and has a long history of safety in many different countries of the world.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea is a type of tea made solely with the leaves of Camellia sinensis, that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East. Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed.

Green tea is a remarkable substance that is utilized by the body in many ways.

Green tea has been widely recognized as an effective way to protect skin from ultraviolet light radiation, and protect against many different cancers including stomach, ovarian, colon, oral, prostate, breast and cervical cancers. Green tea has been clinically shown to dramatically increase antioxidant levels from a single dose, preserve good cholesterol, encourage the death of cancerous cells, and even inhibit the formation of cavities. When used in conjunction with anti-cancer medications green tea has been shown to have synergistic effects. Green tea has also been used successfully as a weight loss agent, due to its ability to cause rapid fat loss.

Although it is widely believed that consuming green tea with milk or other dairy products may negate its beneficial effects, research has shown that drinking green tea with these additives does not result in a loss of its benefits. Some have also believed that drinking green tea increases ones risk for developing gastric cancer. Recent research has demonstrated that no link exists.

Although we know much about Green teas positive effects, there is still much that we do not know. The potential that green tea does other helpful things is very probable. Exciting research continues into this wonder-supplement and the benefits it has.

Soy Protein

The soybean has been a part of the human diet for almost 5,000 years. Unlike most plant foods, the soybean is high in protein and is considered equivalent to animal foods in terms of the quality of the protein it contains.

Soy in your diet can lower cholesterol. There are many scientific studies that support this conclusion. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed that 25 grams per day of soy protein, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Soy may also reduce symptoms of menopause and the risk of osteoporosis. Soy products may possibly prevent certain hormone-dependent cancers, including breast cancer , endometrial cancer , and prostate cancer.

Not all soy protein products contain the same amount of protein. The following list ranks some popular products from greatest amount of soy protein to lowest:

· Tofu
· Soymilk
· Soy flour
· Tempeh
· Miso

The best way to find out about protein content is to look on the Nutrition Facts label to see the percentage of soy protein. Also look at the list of ingredients. If a product contains isolated soy protein (or soy protein isolate), the protein content should be fairly high.

There is a difference between soy protein (commonly sold in tablets or capsules) and soy protein products. Soy supplements are generally made of concentrated soy isoflavones. These substances may help relieve symptoms of menopause but there is not enough evidence to support using soy isoflavones for any of the other health benefits, such as lowering cholesterol.

Omegalyze

Omega 3 Fatty Acids have numerous health benefit claims, including lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reducing coronary heart disease, and fighting memory loss. The FDA recommends that people consume no more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per day from food. Here are some of the best sources of omega-3s.

Fish
Oily fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines are great sources of omega-3’s. While diets high in fish consumption run the risk of mercury exposure, a study at Harvard’s School of Public Health found that the long-term benefits of fish intake outweigh any potential risk. If you don’t like eating fish in its traditional presentation, try a tuna burger!

Flaxseed

Flaxseed is an omega-3 rich ingredient that you can easily incorporate into your healthy diet plan. It comes whole or crushed, but many people favor crushed because the body absorbs and digests it better. You can sprinkle flaxseed onto your morning cereal or add to yogurt for a hearty crunch.

Other Supplements and Seeds
If you’re interested in taking a fish oil supplement, choose a pill that’s free of mercury and other impurities. Look for enteric-coated capsules because they prevent the fishy aftertaste and your body absorbs them better. The FDA suggests you don’t exceed 2 grams per day if you’re taking supplements. It’s always a good idea to consult a physician first.
