3. Consume less sugar
It’s no secret that consuming high amounts of sugar is bad for your health. It can lead to significant weight gain, impact the health of your heart, and negatively affect various other organs within the body. Eating a lot of sugar can also have a direct impact on your body’s ability to produce growth hormone.
Why? – Because sugar raises insulin levels, and when your body produces large amounts of insulin, the function of the pituitary gland can be compromised, which can lead to reduced production of growth hormone. Furthermore, ingesting high amounts of sugar can lead to weight gain (as mentioned), which can also negatively affect the production of growth hormone.
If you’re looking to increase your levels of this hormone, reduce the amount of sugar you consume. If you enjoy sweets, try substituting sugar for natural sweeteners, such as Stevia, coconut sugar, or organic honey.
