I've had a lot of negative things to say about bodybuilding
supplements in my previous articles. After all, the
bodybuilding supplement industry is a huge industry that
relies on human nature. What do I mean by this? Well, I
believe that many people are looking for an easy way out to
their problems, and this is especially true when it comes
to improving their physical health or fitness. Instead of
following a solid muscle building program, many people take
supplements as a shortcut to achieve their weightlifting
goals. Many other people may also take these kinds of
supplements because they believe they are mandatory for
gaining large amounts of muscle or losing body fat.
Does that mean that all supplements are worthless? Of
course not. My beef was mainly with the bodybuilding
industry, along with the weight loss companies. To me,
these industries are responsible for much more deception
and exploitation than other supplement companies. There
are definitely some legitimate supplements out there, and
many are getting fantastic recommendations from doctors.
For example, the American Medical association recommends
that every adult take a multivitamin supplement, and the
Food and Drug Administration recognizes that omega three
fatty acids may help prevent heart disease. So there are
definitely some supplements worth considering.
One group of nutrients that you really need to consider as
part of your muscle building program (and general health
maintenance) is antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free
radicals, which otherwise would wreak havoc on your body's
cells. Without the protection of antioxidants, this
long-term damage could increase your risk of degenerative
diseases like cancer or heart disease.
That should be motivation enough for you to take these
nutrients seriously. But if you're wondering how they
relate to weightlifting or muscle building, try to keep the
big picture in mind. You need to keep your body in the
best shape possible if you want to build huge amounts of
muscle (or even small amounts of muscle for that matter),
and antioxidants help you to accomplish that. You should
immediately increase the amount of fruits and vegetables
that you eat each day. In addition to eating several
servings of fruits and vegetables each day, you should
consider taking a multivitamin. After all, you're
demanding more from your body than the average person. You
may even want to take additional amounts of some
antioxidants such as vitamin C, since a multivitamin may
not contain very much on its own.
