5. Train smart
It is well known that your HGH levels are increasing when you incorporate intense physical training. Try keeping your training sessions short and intense and limit them up to 45-60 minutes or less. Training more than 90 minutes decrease your testosterone and HGH levels because of the increase of cortisol levels which is the stress hormone. Some scientists think that even an intense cardio session can help you increase your HGH levels, but it very much depends on the activity we are doing, basketball players being one example.
6. Your liver needs cleansing
The liver is the main organ in your body that is in charge of getting rid of your bodily wastes. If you diet choices are very poor, chances are your liver is very unhealthy, which may not be evident at first, since it may not give any symptoms of a disease, it can merely not function at its optimal state.
