"The most obvious is body building. body building is contaminated with drugs - one just has to look at all those artificial muscles, and know without further investigation. Anabolica is the talk of the day in fitness studios. Insiders talk about structures similar to the illegal drug market. Four out of ten professional athletes enrolled in fitness centers take drugs. And a higher percentage of them are younger in age. But the consequences are horrible." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "In an interview with a body building coach who no longer uses steroids, the coach mentioned 269 NIDA: National Institute on Drug Abuse 270 Creatine is a natural substance found in the body that plays a powerful role in energy metabolism. Taking creatine gives you more energy and allows the taker to exercise longer with out tiring out. 271 N02 is nitric oxide that triggers the body to an increased blood flow to the muscles. This normally occurs during exercise anyways, but with N02 this increased blood flow does not stop once exercise has ended." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "How about the body building trainers; what is their thought on this? " Dr. John Feulner: "In general, the trainers feel that they can support and control the foot's arch by strengthening the muscles that control the arch." "Isn't muscle training important? " Dr. John Feulner: "Yes, but I don't agree with that fully. It's part of it, but structurally, if the skeleton is not in a sound position a person can strengthen muscles all he wants but the structural misalignment is going to ultimately overpower the muscles every single time." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"In many sports where body composition or body weight is believed to be important (gymnastics, dancing, body building, and weight category sports like judo and boxing), athletes often try to maintain a negative energy balance in order to lose weight [3]. It is known that the energy intakes in these sports can be very low [4, 5]. At the other extreme are the endurance sports in which we can find extremely high energy expenditures and energy intakes. These sports include triathlon, cycling, cross-country skiing, and ultraendurance running." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Just a high dose of cholesterol medication, combined with a beta-blocker for hypertension, along with five hours a week of body building, destroyed his muscle and damaged his heart. And worst of all, he never really needed either one! I realize this is getting a little off the subject, but it's a critical issue that many in the nation are also unnecessarily dealing with. Elevated cholesterol never has been the risk it is made out to be, although if it's excessively elevated, in my other book I do provide several natural drug-free options for lowering it." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"You can find whey protein powder in a variety of flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, in premeasured individual serving packets and bulk canisters in the "body building" section of a health-food store. In our clinical research center, we recommend high-quality whey protein concentrates or isolates for smoothies, and utilize whey protein within the SlimStyles meal replacement formulas with PGX from Natural Factors. The total protein requirement for long-term weight maintenance in adults is about 0.4g per pound of body weight per day." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

"Worse, in the last few days leading up to the shoot or body building competition, they drink barely any water (you might hold on to it) and stop eating anything with minerals that might cause the body to retain water. And this is just if they do it naturally without steroids, HGH or any other muscle building, performance enhancing drugs. Many of the fitness and diet programs you've done or read about are variations of this technique. You throw your body out of its natural balance for limited periods of time to achieve short term results through subtle deprivation or extreme overexertion." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"Weight lifting and body building are forms of resistance exercises. So is rowing, which builds both arm and leg muscles. Resistance exercises can sculpt your body by firming up the muscles in your torso, arms, and legs. Researchers have found that regular short bursts of activity (such as sprinting, dancing, or chopping wood) are every bit as good as endurance exercises (such as jogging or long-distance cycling). Why We Recommend Walking Because you are likely prediabetic or overweight, we recommend that you start with safe, low-intensity physical activities." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Generally speaking, body building follows this pathway—DNA to RNA to protein. Think of DNA as a library of master blueprints for a whole town and all the different cells in your body as different kinds of buildings—schools, municipal buildings, houses, apartment buildings. When an organism needs to build a particular building, it uses a helper enzyme called RNA polymerase to copy the plans for that building onto strands of messenger RNA, or mRNA. The mRNA takes those instructions to the building site and directs construction of whatever building—or protein—is called for." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"This surprised me since I have never done any body building. But there was no question that through supplementation, I was physically much stronger. While it may be natural for our bodies to decrease the production of these hormones over time, it is also possible that because of internal toxins, poor diets, and the like, our bodies lose the ability to produce these hormones as efficiently as they should too early in our lives. I'm not a seeker of the "fountain of youth," but I think it is very wise to do all we can to maintain our hormones at youthful levels for as long as we live." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)
