Abby's Magazine - Volume 5 Issue 1| Page 67 However, I believe it is totally inappropriate for the vast majority of non-athletes that exercise casually, or just to get healthy as their muscle mass isn't as well developed and their insulin and lep n signaling is typically impaired. Another point to consider in this study is that, while whey is great for s mula ng muscle protein synthesis, I disagree with the use of whey protein isolate as whey protein concentrates are clearly superior. As I'll discuss below, the focus on carbs is one of the most detrimental pieces of advice that is s ll widely promoted to athletes and non-athletes alike, and there are FAR be er ways to boost HGH produc on than what was tested in the featured study, in which par cipants ran for 90 minutes with a four-hour long break in between repeated session. First, it's important to remember that what you eat can either add to or detract from your exercise benefits, and if you're devo ng the me to exercise for health and longevity, you'd be well advised to harness your meals to support your goals, not detract from them. First and foremost, contrary to popular advice, to maximize the benefits of exercise you'll want to avoid fructose and other sugars unless you are engaged in intensive and prolonged cardio exercises that will allow you to burn these sugars, especially fructose, and not store them as fat. However, exercise, which in and of itself improves insulin and lep n sensi vity, will NOT completely compensate for excessive use of fructose. This means that most casual exercisers and those seeking to improve their body composi on and op mize health and fitness rather than boost athle c performance or compe veness, need to ditch the energy drinks, sports drinks, most energy bars and even "healthy" drinks like vitamin water, as these will effec vely sabotage your exercise benefits. Fructose, which is found primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup, is par cularly detrimental as it tricks your body into gaining weight by turning off your body's appe te-control system. This happens because fructose does not appropriately s mulate insulin, which in turn does not suppress ghrelin (the "hunger hormone") and doesn't s mulate lep n (the "sa ety hormone"). The end result is that you end up ea ng more, causing uncontrolled accumula on of sugar metabolites in your liver, which then leads to insulin resistance. Fructose also rapidly leads to decreased HDL ("good" cholesterol), increased LDL ("bad" cholesterol), elevated triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and high blood pressure – i.e. classic metabolic syndrome. And if that's not bad enough, fructose has shown to increase the levels of TNF-α, a pro- inflammatory cytokine known to inhibit fat burning and promote muscle was ng. Eating Whey Protein During Your Exercise Recovery May Boost HGH Your produc on of vital human growth hormone increases by up to 771 percent during a high-intensity, interval workout like Peak Fitness because you are s mula ng your fast twitch muscle fibers, which are rarely used during most exercise programs.
