Building muscle is healthy as long as it is done in moderation. Exercising and eating muscle-building foods are the best way to build muscle. Using steroids to build muscles can have very unwelcome side-effects.

About Build Muscle

The best and safest way to build muscle is through exercise and a healthy diet. A personal trainer can help you build specific muscles for specific activities, for example: running, rowing, or succeeding at particular sports.

Many people use steroids to build muscle, but that can be dangerous. Muscle building steroids are in high demand among teenagers, body builders and athletes. But, steroids are very powerful hormones that can be extremely dangerous! They can cause a variety of health problems some of which can have lasting ramifications.

Anabolic steroids cause many different types of problems. Less serious side effects include acne, purple or red spots on the body, swelling of legs and feet, premature balding, dizziness, trembling, persistent bad breath, and less commonly jaundice, or yellowing of the skin.

More serious side effects are: addiction, increased amounts of LDL cholesterol (the bad kind), lowered HDL cholesterol (the good kind), mood swings (including anger, aggression, and depression), nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure that can damage the heart or blood vessels, heart attack risk, stroke risk, aching joints, a greater chance of injuring muscles, liver damage, the shortening of the final adult height and death.

Specific risks for girls include:

Facial hair growth, masculine trait development and loss of feminine body, deepening voice, characteristics such as shrinking of the breasts, menstrual cycle changes and sterility.

Specific risks for guys include:

Testicular shrinkage, deepening voice, pain when urinating, prostate enlargement, breast development, impotence (inability to get an erection) and sterility (inability to have children).
