Bette Davis once said, "Old age is no place for sissies." Evidently, high levels of human growth hormone, also known as simply growth hormone (GH), also shy away from old age. When we are young, our bodies naturally produce the GH from childhood into early adulthood. This hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and influences our energy, fat-burning ability, desires, libido, skin, muscles, and other attributes of our body.Human growth hormone (HGH) is the man-made hormone that mimics the natural substance. Given as an injection under the skin, HGH may come in the name of Genotrpin, Humatrope, Nutropin, Saizen, Serostim, Somotropin, or Zorbtive. Here is a great science related website http://www.sciencecanbefun.com. All of these are supposed to fight the aging process by increasing energy and strength, decreasing fat while increasing muscle tone, lifting the libido, tightening skin tone, aiding memory functions, increasing focus, and improving sleep and emotional states.Fundamentally, the HGH is being manufactured to help make us young.

The dreaded SID (Sudden Infant Syndrome) has caused alarm to parents worldwide. This also moved medical experts to look closely into the sleeping habits of infants. For the longest time, it is believed that the best position for babies is to sleep on their stomach. This is actually not the case. Modern studies attested that sleeping in this position could cause some medical issues since the infant's mouth and nose, which are the vital organs for proper airflow, are somehow blocked because their heads are faced down.Since 1992 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strongly recommends that babies should sleep on their backs. Recent studies show that the instances of SID's are reduced by almost 50% once parents are advised to change their baby's sleeping position from sleeping on their stomach to sleeping on their backs or side.Suffocation is a possibility when a baby sleeps on his stomach. Some babies have weak neck muscles and once they turn their heads, it may cause them to suffocate. It would be better if babies were allowed to sleep on their backs. It is important to keep their face up and not faced down.Sleeping on one's back can cause some minor discomfort for babies. During...more
