10pm – 2am, our body secretes this hormone called Human Growth Hormone.
Also known as growth hormone (GH), it plays a key role in growth, body composition, cell repair and metabolism.
HGH also boosts muscle growth, strength and exercise performance, while helping you recover from injury and disease.
Lower HGH levels may negatively impact your quality of life, increase your risk of disease and make you gain fat.
Optimal levels are especially important during weight loss, injury recovery and athletic training.
Interestingly, your diet and lifestyle choices can have a huge effect on your HGH levels.
So sleep earlier, so HGH levels are always produced at a HIGH.
One study found that three days into a fast, HGH levels increased by over 300%. After one week of fasting, they had increased by a massive 1,250%.
Other studies have found similar effects, with double or triple HGH levels after just 2–3 days of fasting.
