Why We Age

Our cells replicate every minute and the genetic material becomes shorter each time, causing our organs to gradually decline, leading to reduced enzyme activity. Additionally, the pituitary gland and other glands also shrink, as we get older. This can cause a decline in the total output of hormones. All of this and more can lead to premature aging.

Furthermore, another substance called somatostatin suppresses the body’s human growth hormone levels. This is ironic because during the very time that we need more human growth hormone to revitalize our cells, we don’t have enough. We have enough during the growth phase in childhood, but during adulthood and as we become seniors, this decline allows our bones to deteriorate,
our muscles to become weaker, our body fat to increase, our mental function to decline, and our nerves to have slower conduction rates.

Scientific evidence for restoring human growth hormone for seniors to slow the aging process….

From his breakthrough pioneer work in 1986 using recombinant injectable growth hormone on a group of elderly patients, Dr. Rudman’s findings reported less cellulite, decreased wrinkles, thicker
skin and increased collagen production, sharper vision, and improved memory. The results also included increased energy, better exercise performance and cardiac output, a stronger heart, stronger bones, reversal of conditions of osteoporosis, more rapid healing time for wounds, an overall 8.8% gain in muscle mass, a 14.4% reduction in body fat, and re-growth of organs.

Definitely food for thought.
