Steroids are more than just muscle enhancers. It goes deeper than that. Athletes use them to gain an advantage over their opponent, but that's all that's really known. What actually happens to the user's body besides becoming weak or strong? It is the science that comes into play to provide the user with the physical results. Steroids have many effects on the body, both good and bad, whether or not it becomes bigger than a man or a woman, literally. When someone chooses to use steroids, they are getting more than they can imagine. Steroids completely change your body and can do more harm than good. Steroids have more effects than you might think and are definitely overlooked when it comes to being a medicine and a science rather than a performance enhancer. There are different types of steroids. Steroids are in your body to help your body with stress and puberty; Medical steroids exist and are taken for pain, asthma or a skin problem, but these are not the steroids that athletes use to overcome their opponent. Athletes take anabolic steroids and they are artificially produced hormones. They are taken in the form of pills, injections, or powders. Steroids are illegal if you don't have a doctor's prescription. Steroids increase the rate of protein synthesis within cells. Athletes use anabolic steroids; Anabolic steroids resemble androgenic hormones such as testosterone (2). These steroids increase weight gain, speed, power and aggression. Taking anabolic steroids induces an increase in muscle size both through hypertrophy and the formation of new muscle fibers (1). Anabolic steroids have androgenic and anabolic effects, which are essentially due to the male hormone testosterone. The androgenic effect... middle of the paper... esterol (HDL) is usually numbered according to the bad (LDL). Blood clots increase and can even lead to heart attacks. Your body is severely affected and made worse by the decision to take extra, unsafe amounts of steroids. They hurt you more than they help in the long run. Your heart gets severely affected and could cause serious medical problems and could be life-threatening. With all the lights and cameras, obviously, athletes want more attention than others and for them steroids are the answer. Steroids not only affect your body physically, but also your brain emotionally and that is why there is a higher risk than previously thought when it comes to deciding whether to use steroids or not. For your body, you are essentially accelerating its deterioration and actually weakening it while trying to strengthen it. It's a domino effect of future health problems. From
