Steroids are drugs that were primarily formed to imitate the male hormone testosterone. Steroids are also called gear, juice, and anabolics. In medical backgrounds, they are inured to take care of deadly diseases such as cancer and AIDS, and to treat hormonal troubles such as delayed puberty in males.

Bodybuilders and other jocks make use of steroids in order to encourage muscle development and reduce body fat proportions. As of 1990, the non-medical use of these drugs is illegal. The various steroid users include bodybuilders, weightlifters, football players, and Olympic athletes.

Some steroid users inject them into their bodies with the help of needles, while other steroid users use them in form of a pill. Some steroid users become careless, and use non sterile injections or share needles with other steroid users. Muscle-builders and other steroid users regularly take large doses that are hundreds of times greater than the medically suggested dosages.

Many steroid users are at risk for hepatitis B and C, HIV, and other viral diseases. Additionally, liver tumors and blood filled vesicles in the liver are also related to steroid use as well. When these cysts burst, they cause inner bleeding and other serious conditions. Acne is the most common side effect among steroid users that is caused because of the growth in testosterone.

Steroid users are prone to many other side effects including premature baldness, wooziness, sleeping problems, queasiness, sadness, mood changes, pain in joints, delusions, mistrust, problems related to urinary system, jaundice, stroke, increased risk of heart disease, trembling, high levels of blood pressure, increased chance of injuring muscles and tendons. In order to avoid the negative effects, steroid users can stop their abuse or over usage.

Mistreatment of such drugs may also affect reproductive systems of steroid users. Investigators have discovered that steroid users may experience paranoid jealousy, harsh fussiness, and vitiated judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility. Steroid users should be aware of the possible side effects or other problems related to steroid abuse or misuse.

Starting off your with a healthy well
balanced diet is the best thing you do for yourself
and your baby. This way, you’ll only need to make
a few adjustments during your pregnancy.

Your first trimester
If you find it tough to maintain a balanced diet
during your first trimester, you can rest assured
that your not alone. Due to queasiness, some
women will eat all of the time and gain a lot of
weight in the process. Other women have trouble
getting food down and subsequently lose weight.

Preventing malnutrition and dehydration are your
most important factors during first trimester.

Calories
When you are pregnant, you need to consume around
300 calories more than usual every day. The best
way to go about doing this is listening to your
body when you are hungry. You should try to eat
as many foods as possible from the bottom of the
food pyramid.

If you gain weight too slow, try eating small
meals and slightly increase the fat in your diet.
You should always eat when you are hungry, as you
are now eating for 2 instead of one.

Calcium
By the second trimester, you’ll need around 1,500
milligrams of calcium each day for your bones and
your baby’, which is more than a quart of milk.
Calcium is something that’s missing from many
diets. Along with milk, other great sources for
calcium include dairy products, calcium fortified
juices, and even calcium tablets.

Fiber
Fiber can help to prevent constipation, which is
a common pregnancy problem. You can find fiber in
whole grains, fruits, and even vegetables. Fiber
supplements such as Metamucil and Citrucel are
safe to take during pregnancy.

Protein
Unless you happen to be a strict vegetarian, your
protein intake is not normally a problem for women
who eat a healthy diet.

Iron
A lot of women will start their pregnancy off with
a bit of iron deficiency. Good sources of iron
include dark leafy green vegetables and meats. Iron
supplements should be avoided, as they can cause
internal symptoms such as cramping, constipation,
or diarrhea.

Vitamins
Seeing as how you get a majority of the vitamins you
need in your diet, you may want to discuss prenatal
vitamins with your doctor. Folate is one of the most
important, and if you are getting enough of it, you
may be able to avoid vitamins all together – just ask
your doctor to make sure.
