Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Have you started exercising to prevent disease? Or maybe you’re looking to strengthen yourself because you’re approaching your fifties.
Whatever the reason behind your pursuit of more activity and increased muscle mass in your body, it is important to avoid using hormones and steroids to achieve your goal, as the official account of the Gulf Health Council indicated in a tweet via “Twitter” that this leads to serious complications.
Possible complications of using growth hormone and steroids:
- ED
- liver problems
- Kidney damage
- Heart disease, such as a heart attack
You can increase muscle mass without using these substances by taking protein supplements to cover your daily needs, but the health status of people with kidney or liver problems must be taken into account.
Lower levels of physical activity and less exercise lead to muscle loss and weakness with age.
Often, muscle loss begins to appear in the 30s, then accelerates in the 50s, and picks up dramatically in the mid-70s.
However, the process of muscle loss can be slowed down through muscle-building exercises and supporting the connection between nerves and muscle cells to maintain them.
Strength training also helps improve the body’s response to dietary proteins.
