Growth hormone and fat oxidation

October 6th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

Lower growth hormone levels reduce the ability to burn fat during workouts. This, most likely, is one of the many contributing factors to age related weight gain.

Growth hormone levels can be increased naturally with anaerobic exercise (especially weight training), maintaining low insulin levels and increasing dietary protein.
