HGH

What is HGH? Why does some people need it?

I had to research on this one because I bought my mom some medication for her joints which had hgh on the label. I never knew what it was until lately. I thought it was some kind of chemical compound added to medications to alleviate joint pain.

HGH is Human Growth Hormone which is secreted by the pituitary gland. It aids in reversing the effects of ageing, improves mental and physical health, and provides energy. It also aids metabolism and reduction of body fat.

Health Nut - Drink This to Burn More Calories

I have been reading this time and time again. Drinking tea is beneficial in burning extra calories even when you are not doing anything. Why you might ask? Here are the reasons why drinking tea is great in hiking the metabolism.

1. It has catechins which aids in the metabolism.
2. White Tea helps shrink fat cells.
3. Tea helps in curbing appetite and hunger.

If that does not convert you to become a tea-lover, I don't know what will :) Skip the soda vending machine and brew yourself a nice cup of tea instead.

Lean, Mean Protein

We all know that protein help build those lean muscles which in turn help boost our metabolism. Right? As we eat food rich in protein, our body takes time to digest them, thus making us full and satisfied for a longer period of time.

Here are great sources of lean, mean protein: fat-free and skinless chicken breast fillet, egg whites, peanut butter, almonds and cottage-cheese.

Don't hoard them like they are your best friends. Remember, everything should be taken in moderation. Ideal would be at least 10 to 35 percent of your daily calorie intake should come from these lean, mean protein food group.
