Jojo ruby france Biological age

Do you ever look in the mirror and think you look older than your years, or worse still look at some one else and think they look much much younger. Every year everyone ages at the same rate chronologically. But our bodies have their own “biological clock.”

Our biological clock is very dependent on our individual cells and make up. Some facts about aging.

Once we reach middle age, our bodies slow and then stop producing Growth Hormone secretion.

You may have heard this called “Low-T” or “Low Testosterone” in men.

You might be surprised that women experience growth hormone reduction as well when estrogen levels decline around middle-age.

This is called “somatopause.”

Here’s what happens during somatopause:

Lean body mass goes down

You gain weight (especially in the midsection)

Bone density decreases

Sex drive diminishes

Energy levels decline

Wrinkles form

Cholesterol increases (Bad Cholesterol goes up, Goodcholesterol goes down)

It’s basically all the signs and symptoms of getting older.

And there are two things you can do about it:

1.- Visit an anti-aging doc, get hormone injections. He’ll give you injections of HGH (growth hormone).

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Maybe. You have to fight through a ton of side effects. And there are many years of research to do until the final outcome of the hormones are fully known.

2.- Exercise. The right kind of exercise is a proven way to increase growth hormone. Long slow workouts do very little to encourage natural growth hormone, this is why my exercise programme supports high intensity exercise .

Short, high-intensity intervals are a proven way to trigger the release of growth hormone and fight the signs of aging.

They also burn more calories during (and AFTER) each workout.

After a thorough warm up- my maximum time spent in the high intensity zone is approx 20 mins, I find this to be extremely challenging but not draining, it doesn’t stress my body or age it faster, unlike a slow burn workout.

Remember, high intensity training is tough, not advisable for a novice!
