The Role of Nutrition in Muscle Development

Proper nutrition is crucial for muscle growth and development, as it directly impacts the effectiveness of human growth hormone (HGH). If athletes fail to eat sufficiently and stimulate their muscle tissue through training, they will not see desired results, regardless of HGH levels. Regular intake of adequate nutrients is essential for muscles to grow and recover effectively. This underscores the need for a balanced diet alongside any physical training regimen.
