Since your body’s natural human growth hormone production (HGH) slows down dramatically from about age 20 onward, you might need a boost from time to time. This can be done in a variety of ways, including increase in insulin.
Further Explanation
Insulin is not just a substance used by diabetics. It is also what everyone’s body needs to keep going. However, too much of it can cause a more significant decline in HGH production.
In order to keep your human growth hormone level up, you should avoid eating too many rich, white pastas and breads. These are loaded with the wrong kind of carbohydrates, which leads to the drop in production of this hormone.
High-Insulin Foods
The above process is indirectly caused by the rise of insulin in your body. Therefore, make sure you instead use breads and pastas that are made from whole grains and limit your consumption of them.
You should also limit (or even eliminate) the consumption of these high-insulin substances:
Potatoes, peas, and other starchy vegetables
Deep-fried foods (Breaded meats, French fries, onion rings, cheese curd)
Rich baked goods (cakes, pies, cookies, etc.)
Whole milk and high-fat cheeses, milk, and cream
If you want to keep your insulin levels down instead choose foods such as the following:
Whole wheat bread, brown rice, and whole grain cereals
Nuts and seeds (preferably raw or roasted, not fried)
Beans and Legumes (Depending how they are prepared)
Spinach
Broccoli
Avocados
Lean meats and fish (grilled, baked, broiled, or boiled)
Soups
Yogurt
Skim Milk and low-fat cheese
Do you see a pattern here?
Restoring HGH production is only one example of why it is important to eat a healthy diet. Excellent nutrition is what affects your everyday physical, emotional, and mental health the most.
If you have any question about what would a healthy diet you should consult the USDA food pyramid website. You can also ask a doctor or nutritionist for help.
