Morning glory

Melatonin-rich foods can increase HGH production by up to 157%. Raspberries give the best boost to your levels, so throw some on your oats for breakfast.

Fish for a compliment

Vitamin D deficiency is directly related to lowered levels of male hormones, but raw fish such as salmon sashimi provides 271% of your RDA per 100g serving.

Sleeping giant

Pineapple is a great source of serotonin: a hormone made between the brain and digestive tract that works as a neuro-transmitter to relax you. Eat it late to aid sleep and boost HGH.
The Journal of Clinical Investigation

Well-oiled machine

Add some coconut oil (1g per kg of your bodyweight) to your pre-workout shake to boost your HGH for up to four hours – and improve your resistance training power in the process.
Journal of Endocrinology

Veg out for workouts

If you need a snack pre-gym, go vegan. Soy beans are a great source of L-arginine, which increases your hormone levels after only 30 minutes.

Hannibal Lecter’s favourite, fava beans are high in L-dopa. This stimulates your pituitary gland to make extra growth hormone available to your muscles.

Beef up your meal

OK, you knew it would be in here. But protein benefits aside, the amino acids found in your favourite steak help you synthesize L-orthinine; a compound that raises your growth hormone by up to four times above baseline levels.
University of Houston, Texas

Pot of gold

Research shows that as little as 2g of foods high in the amino acid glutamine, such as yoghurt, is enough to raise production of HGH. Eat after dinner to top up your levels.

Connie’s comments :Women and men should choose no hormones in their eggs,meat,cheese and milk. Plastics are toxic, causing hormonal imbalance. Cortisol and sleep should have a balance. Happy foods such as eggs, yam and beer increase dopamine levels. Have a healthy intestinal flora with pickles, kefir,apple cider vinegar,cranberries and alkaline producing veggies. Have some sunshine and do dim your bedroom when sleeping.
