Avoid Heart Attack when Bodybuilding: Promising Results from Scientific Study

After years of weight training you can still have a heart attack. What? Can you choose bodybuilding supplements that work to build muscle and protect your heart?

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, July 17, 2012

Workout. Build Muscle. And die of a heart attack. It's hard to believe, but it happens. And when a well-known athlete or bodybuilder is the one that goes in for bypass surgery or suffers from a heart attack, you can almost hear a collective sigh of relief among many non-exercisers because they have yet another excuse to avoid exercise.

Well, don't take that excuse to the bank. The science team behind Active Life Global Solutions, the company that makes Military Grade Nutritionals, has been studying the benefits of their Multipurpose formula on cholesterol and homocysteine levels. What they see looks promising.
After a seven month study at a recommended dosage of 8 capsules a day, their test revealed lower levels of LDL cholesterol, homocysteine, and uric acid and an increase in the beneficial folic acid.

So why is lower homocysteine and the best dietary supplements so important for active people like bodybuilders, elite athletes, military and law enforcement personnel?

With their special need for nutritional support, these individuals often supplement their diets with protein and other dietary supplements. This alone is not a problem.

The challenge is how to build muscle and enhance your performance while still maintaining a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. Too often bodybuilders will go for extreme measures to build muscle at the expense of their overall health.

Protein powders are often used to encourage this muscle growth. And for the most part they are safe. However, the problem lies in the source of protein, how much is consumed in addition to other food sources, and how your body is able to metabolize it.

Many of these protein powders are derived from animal sources such as milk. Yes, this is a complete protein. However, it's also possible that milk-based protein powders increase estrogen dominance and do not contain the necessary amounts of vitamins to metabolize homocysteine.
Too much homocysteine in the blood causes a plaque build-up which leads to clogged arteries. This is well known, well studied and well documented.

In addition, adding animal based protein can increase your LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). And, for bodybuilders that use anabolic steroids their cholesterol level is further negatively affected.
Adequate Folic Acid, part of the B Vitamins that are good at metabolizing homocysteine, is missing in milk-based products. And since protein powders are often used to get the protein requirements for building muscle while maintaining a favorable caloric intake, the result can be an imbalance. Too much homocysteine, not enough metabolizing.

The body is simply not able to metabolize the homocysteine in the blood putting many bodybuilders at greater risk for heart problems.

And while some athletes in training can offset this imbalance by eating more Vitamin-B rich vegetables, the fact remains that most of us don't. The food may be grown in nutrient-depleted soils or the vitamins are cooked out of the food when it's prepared.

That is why the best dietary supplements to support your bodybuilding, sports and training are so important. And, it's important to understand the science and benefits that back up your bodybuilding supplements that work to give you results, and keep your heart healthy.
