10 Harmful Effects Of Body Building Drugs
Body building has become a fashion these days. People who want to build up their body either go to a gym or take body building drugs and supplements. But is this really healthy, is the question that comes into mind. Men always keep searching for new and effective ways of improving their body. The public is under the belief that steroids are sufficient to become built and muscular, however, this is not the truth. But does one know that there are many effects of body building drugs? Read on to know more.
Many body builders and athletes, both men and women, consume steroids, not realizing the fact that health is more important than rapid muscle growth. They are sometimes even unaware of the harmful effects of body building drugs on health. Studies have proved many ill effects of body building drugs.
Body Building In A Healthy Way
Today, for athletes, the usage of steroids has become illegal. There are many athletes who are competitive and are very serious about winning a metal for their country and self-satisfaction. In such a serious environment, the usage of body-building and performance-enhancing drugs become common.
This is called doping and believe me, the benefits obtained are not worth the dangerous effects of drugs on body & overall health.
This article details on the numerous ill effects of body building drugs.
Liver Damage
Body building and weight loss are the dietary supplements, which more often cause liver damage. Since these drugs do not need a prescription and can be purchased directly from the counter or online, many people have started using them, not knowing the harmful effects of body building drugs. However, due to the serious liver injury being caused, these drugs are being taken off the market.
Kidney Damage
Creatine is a man-made form of chemical found in the body and is needed for muscular contraction and muscle growth. Consumption of creatine in the form of body-building drugs to build up muscles can lead to serious kidney disorders, especially for people who already had mild kidney problems.
Breast-feeding Babies
Nursing mothers who breast feed their babies should strictly avoid the consumption of body-building drugs, because creatine will harm the nursing baby. This is yet another ill effect of body building drugs, which needs to be paid careful attention.
Infertility
The usage of body building steroids has a direct impact on fertility in both men and women. The craze for body building has shown a rise in infertility.
Impotence
The excessive use of body building steroids has been one big reason for impotence in many men, as they tend to have the inability to attain and maintain penile erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse.
Hair Loss
Body-builders, both men and women, who consume steroids for body building, see thinning of hair and increased baldness.
Increased Body Hair
Increased body hair is a common symptom seen among women who consume body building steroids. This is called Hirsutism.
Irregular Periods
Another disorder caused in many women who consume these steroids is the irregularity of periods and severe pain during the menstrual cycle.
Acne
Acne is very common in body builders who consume steroids and medication and is caused when the body over-produces oil from the sebaceous glands beneath the skin.
Drug Dependence
A person tends to become addicted to these drugs and after a point of time, cannot do without it. This is one of the dangerous effect of drugs on your body.
