why do people use steroids
Steroids are man-made or synthetic substances that enhances testosterone and testosterone is the male hormone that is related to the growth of muscles and bones for the development of masculine attributes like a deeper voice and facial hair. Steroids will increase muscle strength and muscle mass in faster time compared to following a supervised regimented weight training program. The biological effect is to stimulate protein synthesis; to heal muscles faster and more effectively.
People who are slow to reach puberty are often prescribed steroids. They’re also prescribed for patients with certain types of breast cancer, blood disorders and other diseases that will result in a loss of muscle mass, like HIV/AIDS. Some athletes use steroids to improve upon their performance, especially in sports that required a burst of power and strength, such as track and field, football and weight lifting; steroids increase motivation, and reduce fatigue.
Steroids are not for professional athletes only, a minority of men and women will use steroids to improve upon their appearance, especially young men who are skinny or lean; when using steroids while under supervised training and while eating well, these young men will increase their strength and muscle mass exponentially. Men that use steroid to change the way they look, feel better about themselves and feel they have more sex-appeal to the opposite sex. Women, will begin using anabolic steroids if they have a condition such as muscle dysmorphia, which is a disorder where the female feels she is not muscular enough. Another reason for females wanting to ‘bulk’ up is a form of protection. In a study by the National Institute of Drug abuse (NIDA), says twice as many women weightlifters who use steroids, have been have been physically abused by men or have been raped, compared to those women who have not been abused or raped.
Steroids use for athletes and non-athletes alike is a dream of instant gratification; it’s thought of as an opportunity to get stronger, lose body fat and gain muscle mass within 5 to 6 weeks minimum. Using steroids motivates one to workout more consistently and with enthusiasm because of the great results.
