Why Is Sleep So Important to Good Health?
A good night’s sleep is a lot more important than just feeling rested in the morning. Why? Because many important substances are produced by the brain and the endocrine system during sleep, and when we don’t sleep well… WE DON’T PRODUCE ENOUGH OF THESE SUBSTANCES… AND OUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING SUFFER! Two of the more important substances produced during sleep are Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and Melatonin. Both play crucial roles in your health and well-being. HGH HGH is described as the body’s master hormone. As levels of HGH decline in later life so does much of the body’s youthful vitality. All is not lost, however… Research on HGH supplementation has shown that, after 6 months of use it can produce: • Significant loss of fatty tissue without increased exercise • Reshaping and re-defining of muscles (again without increased exercise) • Strengthening of the immune system • A more relaxed mental attitude and a higher threshold for stress • Deeper sleep • More rapid healing of wounds
