Bodybuilders who like to drink should consider the effects of alcohol on both muscles and hormones. A 1989 study of alcohol found that heavy alcohol consumption damages the heart muscle in one third of the subjects, and skeletal muscles in half of them. It’s very clear that alcohol’s toxic effects on muscles are significant and far more widespread than anyone thought.

The study also found that muscle weakness is proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed. But the study also noted that such detrimental effects occurred over a sustained period of heavy drinking. Nonetheless, the study concluded that alcohol is a toxin for striated muscle, regardless of where it is.

Consider the effects of alcohol on the endocrine system. Large amounts of alcohol increase the liver breakdown of testosterone 2 – 5 times normal. Alcohol also prevents the conversion of Vitamin A into an active form in the testes. This may cause sterility. Even a single bout of heavy drinking raises cortisol levels (an adrenal stress hormone) enough to cause a significant drop in blood testosterone. Large amounts of alcohol decrease the binding of luteinizing hormone from the pituitary to its receptors in the testes. Luteinizing hormone normally stimulates the testes to synthesize testosterone.

Chronic alcohol intake eventually decreases LH receptors in the testes, thereby making the testes insensitive to LH and lowering testosterone production. Alcohol also interferes with several enzymes in the testes that manufacture testosterone.

Good grief! How the heck are we supposed to keep up with all those articles and all that contradictory information?

It’s almost impossible really, you would pretty much have to have your own personal nutritionist by your side morning, noon and night, just to monitor what you eat. Then, if you happen to be trying to loose weight, or struggling with a particular health problem, it’s even more complicated! Now you need a nutritionist, a physician and a personal trainer trailing you along day in and day out, just to make sure you get the nutrients you need.

Now take a look at soil conditions and how they have deteriorated over the years and studies on nutrient content of food and how it has declined over the years and by golly, you are going to be certain that you really do need extra nutrients, but how do you get them?

The general rule is if it’s big and stinky, it’s a good vitamin. Natural nutritional supplements are big, because they are not compacted, condensed, and artificially made. You may have to take more than one at a time, because it’s had to get all you need in whole food vitamins into one little pill! And the stinky part? Well, it’s just true, most all natural vitamins are smelly.

Advances in liposuction techniques and technology allow plastic surgeons to reshape the body into a more pleasing contour.

Some patients benefit from fat transfer from one area to another (for example from the hips and thighs to the buttocks) to achieve better form. Surgeons utilize liposculpture techniques to improve the appearance of cellulite and dimples. In patients who maintain a stable weight, liposuction results can be permanent.

For patients with excess skin in the abdomen and loss of abdominal muscle tone due to pregnancy or weight loss, plastic surgeons perform the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure. Tummy tuck outcomes can be improved by incorporating liposuction in order to restore the natural curves of the body. Placement of the scar can be modified based on patients’ fashion preferences.

The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
