More teens using muscle enhancing productsMore teens are using muscle enhancing products, according to a study published Monday in Pediatrics, a journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "These behaviors are a little more common among young people than we previously thought," said lead study author Dr. Marla Eisenberg "We want to put it on the radar for pediatricians, parents and other people working with adolescents." Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician in Atlanta, says some teens don't always realize that these type behaviors can be harmful. "First thing to do is try to educate and say, 'You know, I’m glad you are active and playing sports and trying to be happy. Just remember most kids don’t need protein supplements, or even energy drinks because they are getting the electrolytes in their diet,'" Shu says. "It's good for parents to be aware because they might think it’s good and buy teens these protein powders." Researchers found the number of teens reporting muscle enhancing behavior to be substantially higher than in previous years. Boys were more likely to report these behaviors, which included supplement use and consumption of protein shakes. The concern is that this type of behavior leads to more serious behavior, excessive use and use of illegal substances (something that was reported by some of the teens). Parents need to be aware of what to look for in their kids, says Eisenberg, especially if they notice a big change in exercise patterns. She says parents should treat it the same way they would a body image disorder. Fletcher says he definitely sees kids working towards increasing their body mass and overall strength. While he says hasn't found muscle enhancing products an issue in his practice, he says he does find kids trying to be like their idols. "As their idols have increased in size they are continually pushed to get stronger, bigger and faster... there is that trickle down effect." Researchers looked at a diverse group of about 3,000 teens who were attending urban middle or high schools in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area during the 2009-2010 school year. Of the study subjects, 46.8% were male and 53.2% were female. The average age was 14 years old. Thirty-five percent of boys reported using protein powders; 6% reported using steroids; and two-thirds reported changing their diet to increase muscle tone or size. Twenty-one percent of girls reported using protein powders; 4.6% used steroids; 5.5% used other muscle-enhancing substances. Twelve percent of boys and 6% of girls said they used three or more of these substances and/or behaviors. Teens were monitored using the EAT (eating and activity in teens) 2010 data analysis - a 235 question survey where teens self report their weight status, dietary intake, physical activity, weight control behaviors and other related factors. Prevention programs need to alert pediatricians, parents and coaches so they are aware this is happening, Eisenberg said. She does't want this study to make it seem as though exercising isn't important. "We want kids to be active and eating right to improve overall health and well-being," she said. |

Решение для текущий вопрос наверное очень обычным:
естественно же, на том сайте, тот который зовет это в целом осуществить.
Тем не менее все точно несложно с одной стороны так же намного затруднительнее,
нежели показывается, с другой.
Прежде только надобно сортировать ресурсы с замечательной подборкой секс видео – подобное предоставит возможность вечно
фильтровать те видео, которое-нибудь заводит и конечно точто не терпится узнать.
В такой мере что если уж на ресурсе в итоге порядочно десятков видео, тогда быстрее всего на долгие годы всего этого еще не хватает.
Точно также безумно имеет важное значение смотреть данные апдейтов – они должны
фигурировать относительно частыми,
в совершенстве – повседневными.
Это конечно гарантирует юзеру
желанный свободное время так же говорит об таком, что администрация сайтов не без того о нем хлопочет, каким образом ухаживает так же об всех своих
пользователях.
Тоже, выбирая, где посмотреть порно он-лайн, следует глядеть так же дополнительно на
стилевое различие. Подобное все-таки совершенно
не частная сборка, так как
это именно там подобает стать показано все, что единственно можно
конечно себе изобразить – и далее, ясное дело же, то, что представить неосуществимо.
