The Magnificent Seven Prescriptions for Wellness and Longevity
Prescription #3:
Eat Sensibly (page 1/4)

If you are raising your levels of HGH to youthful levels, and are taking adequate quantities of antioxidants, then it would make sense to embrace a sensible diet as well. HGH will promote the building up of muscle and the loss of fat no matter what, but it will do a far better job if a reasonable diet is added to the mix.

The same can be said with respect to the antioxidants. If we want them to do their job most effectively, we would be well advised to stay away from junk food loaded with preservatives and chemicals, as well as foods that are obvious carcinogens (cancer producers), such as meats loaded with nitrites. As a corollary, we would do well to include foods rich in antioxidants in our diets.

A strong priority in setting up a sensible diet is to keep the total number of calories we take in limited to what we need. All calories are derived from proteins, carbohydrates and fats. We have seen that on a diet where calories are extremely restricted, the aging process is slowed. For those not inclined to that degree of abstemiousness, a more moderate, and more achievable goal, is to keep our caloric needs met, and no more.

Another reason for managing the calories wisely is that, although HGH tends to promote fat loss regardless, the levels of HGH tend to be lower in people who are obese.


These recommendations, although simple and relatively easy to follow, can add years - even decades - to your life.
More importantly, they increase immensely the prospect of having those extra years and decades filled with wellness and activity.
