The Somatopause

Are you 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.

THE SOMATOPAUSE

by Phil Campbell, M.S., M.S.A., FACHE, AGE 50

If youre middle-age, then youll want to know about the somatopause -- or the middle-age spread as many call it. This condition impacts 80 million middle-age adults.

DO YOU HAVE THE SAGING SOMATOPAUSE

Are you 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 THERAPHY

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 CURE

Its 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 theres research to show serious side-effects are possible with this therapy, everyone knows instinctively -- when you inject something into your bloodstream that cost $1,500 a month (that can put on muscle like steroids and pull 30 lbs of body fat off a 200 lb person), it doesnt take rocket science to figure theres a price to pay in the long run.

Hold on! Theres a better way to get the benefits of increasing HGH growth hormone. And its 100% natural and it doesnt cost a dime - just a little of your time.

CURE FOR THE MIDDLE-AGE 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 dont 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, its important to note that anaerobic exercise is the most productive form of exercise (from the HGH anti-aging standpoint), but its 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.
