"People worship muscles."



In a documentary on bodybuilding I saw on Netflix, a bodybuilder made an impressive statement.

Even if you don't fully sympathize with it, you can see the background and the psychology of this statement.

Humans have a vague longing for strength.

Big muscles are the most representative symbol of strength.



Their main weight training is an exercise that increases muscle size while handling heavy equipment.

Body Building, a sport that focuses on building the body.

He is interested in not only performance but also the beauty of muscles.

Both endurance and agility are more than basic.

This is why weight training is the basis for any sport.



Didn't the nickname'health' also mean health?

Of course, there is no disagreement about the benefits of the general public's health.

There seems to be no better exercise for health.

If you learn well, there are no injuries, and it's not bad for getting older.



But is it just good for your health?

Among the general public, they become semi-professional bodybuilders and are often illuminated as "opening a new curtain of life."

All are positive.

As a doctor, meeting people in the doctor's office is a little concerned.

It is not necessarily the case.



The most important thing to watch out for is steroid abuse.

While pursuing large muscles, the temptation of steroids reaches.

Because even a little exercise, your muscles grow rapidly.

However, if you abuse it, you end up paying a great price.

Bone fractures and sexual dysfunction also develop.

It is natural to exercise without drugs, but since there are many cases of abuse, normal people who do not use and exercise are called'natural' separately.




Let's point out one more thing besides steroids.

There is a risk of kidney (kidney) damage if you consume too much protein and engage in fitness.

The kidneys are usually not damaged by a single fruit.

If the kidneys are congenital weak, however, they are usually slowly damaged by irritation several times.

In other words, chronic renal failure occurs through several acute renal failure.

There are many causes of acute renal failure.

One of them is excessive protein intake.



Protein itself is nephrotoxic.

Once on TV, I saw a craftsman scolding his son-in-law badly, because he said he eats too much meat.

Jang-in was a professor of kidney medicine at a university hospital.

As a professor who specializes in kidney medicine, how worried would you have been about your son-in-law pouring meat side dishes into every meal?

I got a bitter smile when I understood that heart.



Of course, the right amount of protein is naturally necessary for muscle growth, but it's not good to overdo anything.

Because of the lack of protein consumed as food, powders and pills are sometimes used.

If you eat like this for a lifetime, your kidneys can gradually weaken.

Be wary of recurrent acute renal failure.



The second is rhabdomyolysis.

It is a disease that anyone who does some exercise suffers at least once.

It's an exercise that puts stress on your muscles, so if you do heavy exercise, you're not bored.

Excessive exercise breaks the muscles, and the myoglobin that spills out of it damages the kidneys.

In severe cases, blood urine may come out, so you notice it right away, but there are many cases where it is not.

At this time, if you do not receive fluid treatment, your kidneys suffer a great deal.

But usually, the symptoms are ambiguous, so I know that I am tired and go on.



The last thing to note is dehydration.

If you are a sportsman who has to pass the weight, you cannot avoid the swamp of dehydration.

Boxers and wrestlers sometimes lose 10kg or more in a day to match their weight before the competition.

This serious diet causes dehydration, and the more frequent competitions or the longer the athlete's lifespan, the more susceptible to dehydration.

The risk of acute renal failure as mentioned earlier also increases.



Once your kidneys are weak, you can endure it when you are young, but you will get older and have uncontrollable problems.

When sepsis comes, dialysis treatment is required, and when urinary poison builds up, you lose your mind.

Constant exercise is important to keep you healthy.

However, anything too much can be poisonous.



Broken health is irreversible even to doctors.

I am the only one who will take care of my health.
