The old song says "You Gotta Have Heart", and it's true.
If your heart were to suddenly give out on you, you would be dead within minutes.

That's how important the heart is.
Given the importance of the heart, you would think people would do what they could to keep it strong and healthy.

Sadly, this is not the case. For decades, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in America. Of late, many people have taken to looking after that crucial organ: cutting down on fats, going out jogging or walking, and so on.

Even still, the years catch up. The heart is a muscle and it must beat up to 100,000 times a day, which works out to a few billion times throughout the average life span - without a rest. Although heart muscle is a different kind of muscle from our skeletal muscles, it is, like them, made up of cells - cells that eventually lose the ability to maintain and repair themselves with age. Even with proper diet and exercise. But this aging of the heart, as with much else in the body, can be slowed - and in many cases, reversed - by keeping HGH levels to where they were in our younger years.

At Sahlgrenska Hospital in Sweden, a study done by Bengt-Ake Bengtsson showed that patients with an HGH deficiency had twice the normal mortality rate as did those with normal HGH levels, when matched for age and sex. These were patients that also carried risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as being overweight. The extra fat carried by these patients tended to be concentrated in and around the abdomen, the Tweedledumb fat. As we have seen, HGH is very effective in promoting fat loss of this sort. In so doing, HGH is also effective in promoting heart health.
