Concerned about the novel coronavirus spread in the country, fitness expert and nutritionist Gurpreet Singh Batra, who runs academy fitness programmes says that the use of steroids should be avoided in the fitness industry as they do more harm than good.
“I want to make India to make steroid-free as it harms people a lot. These days, many people are using steroids to build good physique but they are unaware about its life threatening effects,”Batra, who has been running a fitness progamme since 15 years, tells you.
Good physique is only for a short span of time but eventually the use of steroids lead to testicle shrinkage, steroid agression, acne, hair loss and gynaecomestia to name a few.
Regular usage of steroids means that you are dependent on them and they have become an addiction. It can be because you are enjoying the feel of that pump it gives and therefore it becomes difficult for you to get rid of it in future.
Hence, it is advisable for people to overcome the addiction gradually and focus on body building by improving diet and following a proper and healthy lifestyle.
