Fit Facts by George Mangum
High Intensity Training, or Burst training, activates fast-twitch muscle fibers, which release HGH naturally. This leads to weight-loss.
As we age, our HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is produced less by the body, thus leading to all of those things associated with aging, including death. Staying fit is a great way to increase HGH naturally in your body.
The higher the body fat, the higher the insulin levels, the less HGH that is produced.
