What makes us old…?
As you grow older and older, the amount of HGH your body produces begins to decrease, and it eventually stops the growth of this very important hormone. This decline in HGH is known as somatopause. Similarly, the reason that you cannot lose weight when you begin to age is because of the continuous decline of this critical hormone. According to an estimate, levels of HGH and IGF-1 naturally decline after the age of 30, though the pituitary never stops producing them completely. The amount of HGH, after the age of 21 to 31, falls about 14% per decade, so that the total 24-hour growth hormone production rate is reduced in half by the age of 60.
This drop in the balances of human growth hormone is what may provoke us to seem old and give rise to age-related health problems such as diabetes. The wrinkles you begin to see on your face, your energy level and all those joint pain that you never felt before can be due to the lack of HGH in your body.
As mention above, the decline of Growth Hormone with age is directly associated with many of the symptoms of aging, including cardiovascular disease, increased body fat, osteoporosis, wrinkling, gray hair, decreased energy, reduced sexual function, and other symptoms. Many of these symptoms have been also found in younger adults who have human growth hormone deficiency.
Due to the fact that HGH production decreases as we age there is a wide array of effects that this has on the body and most of these aging symptoms occur due to the loss of protein in the tissues, which is often replaced with fat. The physiological effects of this process include increase in fatty tissue, an increase in wrinkling of the skin while, at the same time, a decrease in muscle strength and overall muscle mass.
