STOP EXCESS SUPPLEMENTATION

PROTEIN  SUPPLEMENTS  ARE  HARMFUL

We know that bodybuilding demands more protein to enhance muscle growth by providing the nitrogen base for them. But try to fulfill your proteins needs from natural ways as much as you can do, and avoid the excess use of protein supplements. Although they are useful when consume in a limit and under a physician’s guidance.





MAJOR  HARMS  OF  PROTEIN  SUPPLEMENTS

Ø KETOSIS

This is the condition of human body when it starts dissolving fat  into energy, when there is insufficient amount of glucose in our body. Now you think that fat burning process is good but friends in this situation the load on liver and kidney is increased in such a manner that they may damage.



Ø STERIODS IN PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS

As we know that steroids act as shortcuts which are help for muscle growth, bulkiness, strength and even for cutting cycles. So some of the protein supplement companies add some percentage of steroids in their supplements for fast results, which make their consumption very harmful for our body.





Ø KIDNEY STONE


Protein supplements are rich in calcium content, which when taken in excess further reacts and form calcium oxalate and other calcium byproducts. Actually these products are the main reason for kidney stone and other kidney related problems.




Ø EXCESS STRESS ON LIVER

When we are going to feed ourselves with high quantity of protein during  the whole day, which increase the work load on our liver for their digestion. This may lead to liver damage.



Ø INCAPABLE TO DIGEST FAT AND CARBS

Frequently feed up from protein during the whole day make our digestion system incapable to digest fat and carbs for energy. As our body learns to sweep calories from protein sources itself.




Ø BLOOD BECOMES ACIDIC


Blood pH should be around 7.But Due to the result of high protein intake our blood gets reacted with different contents of protein supplements and become acidic in nature.



Ø OSTEOPOROSIS


As above mentioned that blood becomes acidic and to maintain its pH level. The body must correct itself by making your blood more basic. The most basic available element in your body is calcium. Your bones will release calcium into your blood, which will then bond to the acidic byproducts of the protein, turning your blood back to a neutral level. But your bones have lost some amount of calcium from them, which results into low bone density and weaker bones.


Ø Some less severe side effects of excess protein consumption are nausea, diarrhea, bloating, and thirst.


Ø  Kidney shrinkage

kidney size reduces
