The Advantages Of Drug-Free Bodybuilding

By Samuel Gilbert


Over the years, there has been a fluctuating interest in bodybuilding; the techniques have varied from high drug ingestion to achieve the desired appearance, to natural bodybuilding. This term, when applied to body sculpting, also has at least two relatively different meanings. For one group of fans, absolutely no substances, which are, not part of a normal healthy daily diet, are permitted, another group is rather more liberal with the definition. The benefits of sticking with the first definition include better overall health and more sustainable weight management. There are several healthy alternatives to the use of drugs.

Bodybuilding without the use of drugs, hormones and other substances is good for management of weight and for overall improved health. Many individuals take up this activity because they want to look better. The added advantage is that when you look good, you feel good. A fit and trim body enhances self-confidence.

Under the strict definition of non-assisted bodybuilding, it is understood that even a short period of using anabolic steroids in the past permanently alters the body chemistry. These items should not be part of the routine of a person who wants to follow the drug-free regimen. Items that are typically found in common medications or products while they may not be healthy are still considered okay on a regimen that does not include drugs.

Some of the specific advantages to taking the natural approach to body sculpting include financial and legal. You will not be running the risk of purchasing or ingesting substances that are illegal. You avoid long-term health risks, choosing rather to improve your health. Purchasing questionable substances can be expensive. You would be better served by spending the money on top quality foods. Using no banned substances means you do not have to lie about your improved physique. You will know the look is due to your own hard work.

Natural methods are focused on a sound diet, exercise, and weight lifting. Substances such as certain steroids, IGF, growth hormone, testosterone, and insulin should be avoided. This practice means only beneficial products will be in your body.

When you use only beneficial substances, and techniques, you will not have any side effects and there will not be joint injuries. Joints can be damaged by muscle development going at a faster rate than the joints. Naturally paced growth in muscle development is long lasting. When you do the work, you get a sense of satisfaction because you know you are responsible for the positive results.

Determining the best weight for your size and age and figuring out the right proportion of body fat is easy. Getting to the goal is not. You must plan on determination and hard work.

The effects of natural bodybuilding are both positive and avoidance of negative actions and results on your body. Those who are seeking honest and long-lasting health benefits will choose to ingest only the best and most healthful foods. The activities will be selected with a goal of improving overall health as well as appearance. Whether you want to compete or just be sure of a fit physique, natural is better.
