Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 I have been reading about human growth hormone- I'm sure all you guys in the US are very familar with this stuff. I understand that it is made naturally after vigourous aerobic exercise and hypothesised that after starving oneself (not advisable!- no point in being a good looking corpse). Exercise seems to be a major rosacea trigger for many, myself included. Although, after a week or two working out and ignoring the stares in the gym. I have found that my skin, when relaxed looks a lot better. I wonder if this is due to a lowered blood pressure or HGH.. I know we have been advised to do anything that causes flushing but I seem to have different types of flushing. As mentionned I flush INCREDIBLY intensely during and after vigourous exercise, I also get immediate rosacea symtoms and the pimples rough skin are a bit of a nightmare. Despite this the symtoms clear up more quickly than if I am flushing say to a warm room, or stress or food even. The rosacea symtoms caused by this type of flush last for longer and results in longer lasting skin sensitivity in comparison to an exercise induced flush. I wonder if the vigourous exercise does indeed stimulate Human growth hormone and as a result the skin thickens a little..... or whether it is just the lowered blood pressure, or it is a combination of other variables ie skin gets oilier when exercising, more nutrients are passed to the skin etc It's hard to know what to do as less vigourous exercise (not getting the heart beat really going type) has been advised for us rosacea folk. I find though that mild exercise, although better than nothing, doesn't really make me feel as good as a good workout. This leads to a bit of a dilema because I wonder if the intense flush caused by the aerobic exercise is doing long term damage..... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
