Growth Hormones Are The Essential Fountain of Youth
We have all heard of REM sleep and how important it is, but did you also know that deep REM sleeping also provides a growth hormone stimulus (GH) release? This growth hormone is secreted directly from the pituitary gland, which promotes for overall strength as well as vitality. GH will stimulate growth in body tissue, including the bones, the muscles and every organ as well. Unlike other hormones, GH has a universal effect throughout the entire body. GH is the most active during our childhood years as well as during puberty, but is unfortunately followed by a sudden reduction in our adult years. Observing this decline is based on studies of primarily the Western culture and population, or who may also be overweight or sedentary. So do you see the pattern and connection here?

A good sleep is vitally essential towards the management of our bodies composition as well as weight. During our sleep, we will naturally release GH in ‘pulse’ rhythmic cycles, which acts to reorganizing and then restoring the basic structure of our being.
For Example: Let’s say that our mind and our body is a library which is filled with lots of books which are scattered on the floor as well as the tables in a complete state of disarray and chaos. It would then be extremely difficult to be able to find the exact book that you are looking for, and this could lead to frustration or anxiety, especially if you happened to be short on time.

But instead, imagine you walking into a same library where all of the books are organized on shelves as well as in alphabetical order. The environment is neat and comfortable for finding the exact book that you are looking for quickly as well as efficiently. So the less stress, the less cortisol release.

What Is Cortisol
Adequate sleep will improve one’s cortisol chemistry and it’s balance. Cortisol is released directly from the adrenal glands when we are under stress, and excess cortisol is released during prolonged emotional or mental states of stress, which will ruin the make up of the body as well as weakening the immune system. During our sleep, the adrenals are all at rest.

If there is any anger, guilt, fear, blame, jealousy or resentment in our lives, and is keeping you awake at night, then just let it go! Try to ensure a peaceful body and mind before and as you drift off to sleep, which is never easy to do. But as someone once said, “I am just too damn tired to think about that right now, I will think about it in the morning.”
