Growth hormone is an important hormone for growth, especially in children. If a child lacks this hormone, they will become dwarf-like and short, but if a child has too much of this hormone, their hands, feet, arms, legs, or face will be larger than normal. In adults, having less growth hormone than normal for their age increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or abnormal heart and vascular diseases. It also causes skin to wrinkle, not firm, and the face to sag, making them look older than their age. Therefore, having an appropriate level of growth hormone is best to reduce the risk of disease and delay premature aging.
Currently, medical technology can detect growth hormone through blood tests to determine the actual value. A doctor will diagnose the degree of abnormality and decide on corrections or necessary adjustments. Additionally, natural methods that can increase growth hormone in the body include:
- Consuming foods high in protein, such as fish, egg yolks, red meat, etc., should be free from chemicals, pesticides, genetic modification, and devoid of artificial color, flavor, or additives.
- Exercising regularly, at least 30 minutes per day, 3-4 times a week.
- Avoiding smoking or alcohol consumption.
- Reducing stress and keeping a positive mindset.
- Getting enough sleep because while sleeping, the body releases growth hormone to repair body wear and tear that occurs during the day.
