HOW TO LOSE BODY FAT ON THE LEGS, Part 3: Sleep For Increased Growth Hormone
Improving Sleep Quality with Nutrition
Magnesium for Improved Sleep
There are several nutritional deficiencies that can result in poor sleep, and thus poor growth hormone – making potential, but the most common is magnesium deficiency. Approximately 65% of the population is Mg deficient; 100% of the athletic population is. If you have problems getting to sleep, Mg Orotate may be the answer.
Mg Orotate, in addition to helping to fill a common Mg deficiency, has another unique property: it lowers the stress hormone, cortisol. In a normal person, cortisol is produced in a wavelike cascade. In the morning, your body begins producing cortisol, which helps to wake you up.
As the day progresses, cortisol should gradually come down, until the evening, when it is very low. It is not uncommon these days, particularly in urban areas with longer work hours, more light pollution, and higher stress levels, for the cortisol curve to be inverted. Think about the night owl in your life who very closely resembles a pissed-off vampire or a zombie in the morning – they have an inverted curve.
Zinc for Improved Sleep
Although Zinc itself does not improve sleep, it does improve the uptake of Mg in the human body. I always recommend taking the two supplements together. Zinc is also another mineral commonly found to be deficient in active populations, so it is a great idea to add it to the evening protocol.
