POM,
Fasting and fitness boost human growth hormone:
Intermittent fasting for periods ranging from 12-24 hours along with high intensity exercise has a positive effect on boosting human growth hormone (HGH). HGH is a very important protein-based hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland. HGH enhances the cellular repair processes that allow us to age with grace. HGH regulates metabolism to burn fat, build muscle, and slow down the negative effects of stress.
Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that men who had fasted for 24 hours had a 2000% increase in circulating HGH. Women who were tested had a 1300% increase in HGH.
A 2009 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that lactic acid accumulation helps to trigger HGH. Lactic acid is only produced in response to intense anaerobic training. Aerobic training is not intense enough to produce the kind of lactate triggering of HGH.
Low-intensity, long duration aerobic training is catabolic in nature. This means that it produces lots of free radicals without promoting significant amounts of repair peptides, enzymes and hormones. The net effect is a wearing down of bodily resources.
High-intensity training also produces free radicals but it triggers an abundance of repair peptides, enzymes and hormones to be released. The net effect of this is healthy tissue repair and favorable effects on body composition and anti-aging qualities.

Thanks so much Lotus. I hope people will act on it. POM
Your speaking To me again pom! I'll read the above post but just wanted to tell you that you've had me looking into biotin and I never realised how crucial it really is ESP to gut health and flora along with vit k and b12.
So I have ordered biotin and hope fully have it tomorrow. I also learned today that vit c is crucial to collagen production especially higher doses so need to up that too.

And thanks to you for the rather pure natural C that you gave its name to me. Better than the one I'm using now. I'll get it after this is over.
