Exercise can increase your human growth hormone (HGH) level. However, some exercises are better than others to boost HGH.
Human growth hormone or HGH has been called the “fitness hormone.” This is because HGH is essential in helping you to burn fat and build muscle. The converse is also true – working out can also increase your body’s ability to produce and release HGH.
Personal trainers and doctors agree that strength training and resistance training, such as weightlifting, are the best types of exercises to boost HGH levels.
HGH levels decline as you age. Age-related growth hormone deficiency can impact a man’s emotional and physical health. Exercise alone cannot treat men with a severe growth hormone deficiency. However, for men who may feel moderate symptoms of age-related HGH loss, the right kinds of exercise may help.
