Insulin in Body Building

Insulin is a natural hormone that is secreted from the pancreas in response to high sugar levels. Its main use is to regular sugar levels in the body. The use of insulin in body building is a controversial subject as using it is constituted as steroid use and it is used to enhance a body building workout.

When blood sugar levels are high, insulin works to increase the storage of glucose which provides energy to the body. The benefit of insulin use in body building is to provide more energy which allows for longer and more intense workouts. While insulin does make for a conducive anabolic environment in the body, it can truly do more harm than good.

Diabetics are not able to produce their own insulin which is why they must either take synthetic insulin or control their insulin production through diet. If you are not a diabetic, taking insulin when you don’t need it will cause your pancreas to stop producing it naturally. What is the end result of that? You will essentially become a diabetic.

Unfortunately, in the body building world, insulin is readily available if you just ask for it. It is taken in the form of a shot once a day and is often used to “bulk up” before body building competitions by hardcore body builders.

The insulin will “force feed” the muscles with sugar. An increase in sugar will allow for longer workout time before you are exhausted, but it will also cause harm to your natural insulin producing abilities.

We do not in any way endorse the use of any artificial substances in your body building program. You should strive for a healthy body when you start working out.  Introducing substances like insulin into your body in amounts that your body can’t take will do more harm than good.

For a diabetic, insulin use is necessary. It saves their lives and allows them to live a normal lifestyle with their disease. When insulin is used in body building, serious complications can arise that can affect your ability to even continue in this sport that you probably love. You shouldn’t take chances with your health – no matter what your body building goals are.

Insulin use in body building can lead to some serious health problems including coma, elevated blood pressure, and an increase in your respiratory rate. When you use insulin as a body building supplement, you are seriously risking your health and well-being.

9 Ways to Naturally Increase Testosterone Levels:

1. Maintain healthy body weight. This is probably the most important thing a man can do. As belly fat increases, there is an increase in activity of the enzyme "aromatase," which converts testosterone in the fat cells to estrogen. Having less testosterone and more estrogen can deposit fat in areas of the body similar to women (breasts, hips, thighs). So if you're overweight, loosing excess weight may increase your testosterone levels, according to research presented at the Endocrine Society's 2012 meeting.
   
2. Exercise. A combination of aerobic (increase in heart rate) and high resistance (weightlifting) exercise has been found to increase the production of testosterone. This also helps prevent the most common diseases from which we will die (heart disease and cancer).
   
3. Consume a plenty of zinc.The mineral zinc is important for testosterone production, and supplementing your diet for as little as six weeks has been shown to cause a marked improvement in testosterone among men with low levels .
4. Avoid tobacco products. Tobacco reduces testosterone levels.
5. Limit alcohol. Alcohol (more than two drinks a day) causes more testosterone to be converted into estrogen.
6. Eat well. Poor nutrition is at the root of many diseases. It can also create an imbalance of male hormones.

      Food to avoid. Avoid red meat and animal fat, food
      dyes, processed foods. Limit caffeine, dairy products, 
      and sugar (by itself or in other products)
      Foods to include. Green tea, multi-coloured fruits and
      vegetables, nuts (particularly Brazil nuts, which are rich
      are rich in selenium. Just two a day are plenty.), fiber 
      (covered by eating fruits and vegetables), ground flax
      seed(1 tablespoon a day), soy products (e.g. drink soy
      milk instead of cow's milk).
    

    7. Manage your stress. When researchers study long    

      term stress, they measure cortisol in the blood. This is

      a steroid hormone. When cortisol levels are high, they 

      can increase fat deposits. This in turn results in more

      testosterone being converted into estrogen.    

     8. Avoid over Training. Over training is a phenomenon 

      which has a negative effect on testosterone levels.

      Research done by Wheeler et al. concluded that   

      endurance training at marathon runners resulted 

      in decreases in testosterone levels, but not to very low 

      levels. So must avoid over training at gym to maintain

      testosterone levels.

   9. Eat healthy fats. Olives and Olive oil, Coconuts and  

      coconut oil, Butter made from raw grass-fed  

      organic milk, Palm oil, Raw nuts, such as, almonds 

      or pecans are some healthy fats you can eat more

      of to boost your testosterone levels.

                                 

                                  good luck .. .   .   .    .      .       .
