Growth Hormone is one of the main anabolic hormones responsible for muscle growth and development. But research shows that our levels of HGH decrease as we age, making it harder and harder to gain muscle as we get older. However, L-arginine has been proven to help increase basal levels of HGH. Many bodybuilders take advantage of this relationship by taking arginine supplements before bed. But there is no need for expensive supplements as arginine can be found in lots of foods. Shrimp are jam packed full or arginine and make a perfect meal when trying to gain muscle. Additionally, avocado and almonds are perfect protein foods, helping to make this meal an anabolic masterpiece. Enjoy!
