The Risks of Body Building Steroids

If you've been using body building supplements for a while and have not seen the results you want, or if you're looking for way to increase your muscle mass in a short amount of time, you may have considered body building steroids.



While some steroids, such as anabolic substances, have become legal to use in conjunction with many body building formulas, there are still some risks involved that you should be aware of before you start taking steroids.



When you're taking weight lifting supplements, it's important to give your body some time to get used to the formula before you determine whether or not your muscle supplements are working.



This could take a month or two, so keep this in mind before you consider taking body building steroids. Usually, when the supplements you are taking begin working over time, it means they are conforming with your body chemistry to help your muscles develop naturally--this is always a good sign.



Steroid Side Effects



Some of the negative effects of body building steroids include tears in your muscles, as well as enlarged prostate, insomnia, acne, and even an enlarged heart just to name a few. Eating foods high in lycopene (which is found abundantly in tomatoes), has been suggested as a counter substance in lessening these effects, though it efficacy is still in question, and to take willow bark for muscle pain and headaches.



If you do choose to take steroids for muscle gain and you do notice these symptoms early in your use of body building steroids, discontinue your use and try to take protein or calcium supplements in order to restore your muscles and regulate your blood levels.



Other effects of taking weight lifting supplements that contain steroids include hypertension, which could lead to heart and attack and stroke. You may also experience stunted growth and premature hair loss as a result of taking steroids, and your mood could change dramatically.



Many men that take steroids become very aggressive and angry for no apparent reason, and have been known to take this aggression out on friends and family members. This is a direct result of the hormonal imbalance that occurs in the body as a result of taking body building steroids.



To find the best alternatives to steroids, be sure to visit your local health food store to find herbal supplements and natural formulas that will help you to build muscle mass naturally. If you are already taking steroids and want to know how to get off of steroids safely, be sure to visit your doctor to find out ways to change your diet and lifestyle in order to make the transition healthily.

Calories per Hour offers the following tips to help you lose weight to look better, feel better, and live a healthier life. These tips are short and sweet and are intended as a starting point or quick reference for individuals seeking to lose weight by using the resources offered on Calories per Hour. Read the related tutorial topics to learn more about the topics discussed in these weight loss tips.



How to Start Losing Weight



• I want you to forget everything that has happened so far. Forget about your dieting failures, forget about any recent weight gain you might have experienced, forget about your fat tummy or thighs and give yourself a clean sheet. I know this is easier said than done, but it's very important if you want to lose weight and take back control of your life.



• I want you to stop trying to be the "perfect dieter". No one is perfect when it comes to dieting and losing weight - not me, not you - no one! So you are going to make mistakes. You may crash in the first week. You may go on a huge eating binge in the second week. You may not do a single minute of physical exercise in week 3. It doesn't matter. Why not? Because when (not if) these things happen, you are gonna start over. And eventually you will get it right and achieve all your weight loss goals. Trust me.



Stay focused on being healthy, not on becoming thin



Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motivation changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.



If we take carbohydrates more then there is risk to health as carbohydrates changes their form in fats and taking fats is not good for health. So we should take carbohydrates in less quantity in our diet. When we buy food products we should see the quantity of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, calcium, fats and calories. We should eat low fat food, which are rich in proteins such as fish, chicken, vegetables, grains, and nuts, which are also low in calcium. while following these diet plans we should also do exercise and walking regularly which keeps our body fit and active which helps us from tensions and depressions.



Monitor your results



You will not know whether there has been improvement or everything is according to plan if you don’t monitor your performance constantly. You will know which weight loss methods suit you and which don’t. With this, you can optimize your time on methods that will give you the best results rather than wasting your time on methods that won’t deliver

Dieting Sucks? 5 Tips To Keep Your Weight-Loss Hope Going

by Terence Ng

Subscribe in a Reader

Nobody likes dieting. Generally, a person may put on about 5 to 10 pounds a year. So what can a person who hates dieting do to keep off the excess weight?

Here are 5 simple tips to help you:

1. You Must Have The Right Attitude

When you are younger, you can eat whatever you like, anytime, and yet do not get fat. Yes, but do you realise that your metabolism then was working hard for you? Now, you cannot just eat and hope the same thing will happen to your body. You must be disciplined to moderate your eating habits. You must have that right attitude to pass that pizza and cheese cake.

2. Eat Only What You Need

Do not stuff yourself silly during meal time. Avoid those “all-you-can-eat” buffet, and during meal, stop when you fill slightly full. Do go for those fresh fruits as a rewarding dessert instead.

3. Be On The Move

If you hate to go to the gym like I am, but love to watch the NBA or PGA programs on TV, then don’t just sit on the couch. Imitate the moves of your favorite players executing their moves. Just watch out not to break any of your furniture. You may want to bring your kids for a walk just after dinner. They will appreciate the talks and companionship, not to mention enjoying the fresh evening air and exercise.

4. Keep Cool!

Do you know that when you get stressed, the consequences can be detrimental to your health? You will smoke more, eat more and drink more. Just remember to take in deep breaths and count to 10 and your anger or stress will subside. Keep a cool head.

5. Remove Those Temptations

If you are easy prey to snacks like chips or crackers, then the best way would be to clear those unhealthy foods from the house. Instead, stock up fresh vegetables and fruits in your fridge. They are good snack alternatives to your chips and crackers.

Here you have it, 5 simple tips. Not to worry if you can’t do all 5, just choose one that you are confident of achieving. You can try the others slowly.

Remember, you must have fun on your weight loss effort, and most important, be happy. Yes, you can still lose weight easy even when you are not undergoing any dieting program.

Knock Out Weight Loss Strategies: 7 Dynamic Ways To A New You

by Ted Cantu and Dr. Jerry Berneathy

Subscribe in a Reader


I got the phone call early on a Monday. It was from California and I had no idea what I was about to learn from the amazing Dr. Berneathy. Dr. B, as he is affectionately known, has created a dynamite weight loss formula for his patients in his Chiropractic clinic. I was about to embark on a real education.

If you want to lose the weight then you will have to lose any type of victim mentality and get positive. I learned from Dr. B that weight loss was not that hard to do. This guy had the secret that so many other programs out there seemed to miss.

I am going to tell you some of these strategies now.

Lesson 1: You Got To Detoxify – Now what does this exactly mean? You have to get rid of all the junk in your diet. If you are serious about weight loss then you must get rid of the excess garbage in your daily diet. There is a time period here that you will have to observe. This is a multi-step process that you must start on if you want to lose the unwanted pounds.

Lesson 2: Keeping A Positive Mindset – Getting powerful results starts with a healthy mindset. I suggest getting rid of all the substances in your daily pattern that lead to racing thoughts. In this category I include caffeinated drinks, alcohol, sugar and other stimulants. I recently switched to herbal teas from around the world and noticed a huge difference in every aspect of my life.

Lesson 3: Move – You got to get in motion if you want to lose weight. Life is about motion, it is about doing, it is about experiencing new things, you got to get out of your living environment and breathe fresh air. Even if you are not used to exercising you have to get up and out. Mobility is everything. This is going to help you build up your mindset to finally exercise.

Lesson 4: Water Based Foods – Just like Dr. B said do not eat junk foods. Artificial colors and flavors are ultimately bad for you and they must be avoided. Taking the bold step to water based foods will take some imagination There are a lots of great things to be said about what kind of vegetables you buy. You can either buy organic produce, eat vegan, or go totally vegetarian. Avoid taking too many radical steps to reach your goal. Your shifts in this area should be gradual.

Lesson 5: Love Yourself – I always found that I usually got the munchies around 10 PM every night. This became a problem but I found ways around it. I was never tempted by late night advertising by Taco Bell because I had problems with dairy and my sinuses. I was able to find some guilt free snacks to help tide me over. I found things like black bean dip and blue corn chips that were fat free. I also found this amazing Green Tea Non Dairy Ice Cream. If you are willing to stretch your imagination you will come across some incredible finds. This is totally up to you. The other thing I can tell you is to get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water.

Lesson 6: Take Control – Avoid being a victim whenever possible. Avoid living in a constant state of “reaction”, (ex: you’ll never believe what this guy said to me, you’ll never believe what happened to me today, I could only get that promotion if so and so was out of the way etc.). These types of inner conflicts are not healthy for the mind. You are controlling the situations around you. It is for this reason you must have self mastery.

Lesson 7: Eat Often – You can achieve great things with smaller meals. You can eat multiple times a day and not have to worry about going hungry. If you are eating the right things in the right combination then hunger pangs are a thing of the past. You are going to be well settled and will not have to worry about calorie counting. The body will start to adjust to your eating habits and you won’t have to worry about how much you need to eat. Your portions will be smaller.

Dr. Berneathy is well schooled in all of these areas. He is an abundant wealth of knowledge and I decided to take him on as a client. These areas of weight loss intrigued me and yet I wondered how I could apply these rules to my life.

We talked about fundamentals and what it would take to get fantastic results. Weight loss is a complicated game if you don’t approach it the right way. That is why there are so many diets that fail and fall off the market place. But talking to Dr. B made things really simple. We need to stop stuffing ourselves with fake food. But more importantly we had to follow a process that would help eliminate waste before the pounds would fall off.

The importance of this subject matter cannot be underplayed. Disease can settle in if the body is not where it should be. Losing weight is a very serious subject matter and you should take proper steps to take care of your body.

As Dr. Berneathy says, “You only got one you!”. And I couldn’t agree more.

Lower Stress, Lower Blood Pressure

by Alvaro Castillo



Subscribe in a Reader

The medical profession is finally waking up to what logic and intuition has always told us: stress is a major factor in high blood pressure. Until recently stress was considered only a contributing factor and not in itself a primary cause of hypertension.

It therefore followed that relaxation and stress relief would have only a negligible and/or temporary effect on blood pressure. But fresh research is now beginning to reveal the obvious: high stress levels are linked to high blood pressure.

As part of the natural human reaction for fight or flight under pressure, stress causes hormone levels in the body to rise. These changes, if they occur chronically, can easily become a major factor or even the primary cause of high blood pressure.

Even in cases of secondary hypertension, whereby high blood pressure is caused by some organic cause, stress can be a significant aggravator of the condition. So if high levels of stress are a prime factor in high blood pressure, it stands to reason that reducing stress can lower blood pressure.

This approach is quick, effective, and does not require medication or costly doctor's visits. Many high blood pressure sufferers are looking for easy ways to manage their blood pressure at home, without drugs.

The first step in lowering your blood pressure should always begin with a few simple lifestyle changes, including learning stress management techniques. These techniques, together with your doctor’s advice, can help lower your blood pressure quickly and easily.

Here are a few easy ways to start reducing stress:

•Get more sleep. The human body needs at least eight hours of sleep per night. This gives both the mind and body a chance to rest, recuperate and recharge. Without this opportunity, you will quickly become tired, cranky, and stressed. Lack of sleep can lead to elevated stress levels and elevated blood pressure.

•Exercise regularly. Regular, moderate exercise will help lower your blood pressure, while adding energy and vitality to your daily life. Exercise is also a great stress reliever, allowing you to work off tension while you move your body. Losing weight may be an added benefit of exercising frequently and this can further reduce blood pressure.

•Eat a balanced diet. Eating nutritious and whole foods will not only help lower your blood pressure, but your stress levels as well. A diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, with plenty of whole grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables, is crucial to good health.

Processed foods, for example, often contain unnatural amounts of salt, which upsets the normal balance of sodium, magnesium and potassium in the body, raising blood pressure.

You can counteract this by eating whole foods with a natural balance of minerals and/or by taking a modest magnesium supplement. The extra benefit is that magnesium and calcium also help calm the nerves and reduce stress.

•Take regular time out for yourself. Eating nutritious and whole foods will not only help lower your blood pressure, but your stress levels as well. A diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, with plenty of whole grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables, is crucial to good health.

•Express your feelings. Making sure you get down time is a great way to lower your stress levels. Don’t bring work home with you. Take time to relax, spend time with your family, play a game, read a book, or just unwind. This time is essential to your well-being.

•Practice slow breathing. You will often hear this described as "deep breathing" but slow breathing is a much more helpful way to think of it. Slow breathing and relaxation can be an easy way to lower your stress. Taking just a few minutes every day to relax and unwind to some gentle music while breathing slowly and deeply may be just the ticket to dropping those numbers at your next doctor’s visit.

By making a few simple lifestyle changes like these, you too can lower your stress levels and lower your blood pressure. Start a stress management program today! You’ll be glad you made these changes, and your blood pressure will show it too.
