Natural Inflammation Relief

People who play contact sports such as American Football or Rugby are putting themselves at greater risk of premature deaths according to a grow number of reports which demonstrates in sobering reality the silent killer in all of us: inflammation. Consider the following:

• Heavy (overweight) NFL players are twice as likely to die before the age of 50.
• Twenty-eight percent of all pro football players born in the last century who qualified as obese died before their 50th birthday, compared with 13 percent who were less overweight.
• One of every 69 nine players born since 1955 is now dead. Twenty-two percent of those players died of heart diseases; 19 percent died from homicides or suicides.
• The average weight in the NFL has grown by 10 percent since 1985 to a current average of 248 pounds. The heaviest position, offensive tackle, went from 281 pounds two decades ago to 318 pounds.
• In 2011, scientists at Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine found that 35 percent of 513 retired NFL players scored poorly enough on a test for Alzheimer's symptoms to indicate dementia.
• Paul Russell of Bolton University in the UL commenced a three year study of 200 young rugby players in 2010 looking at the pressures they face to bulk up too fast.

The core reason known as Muscle dysmorphia or reverse anoreia nervosa involves gaining a lot of weight and also effects body builders is a disorder where a person becomes obsessed with the idea they are not muscular enough.

Sufferers often believe they are skinny when they are actually above average in terms of muscle mass. It is a relatively new condition but the prevalence is thought to be increasing.

Muscle dysmorphia can leave sufferers vulnerable to a range of psychological, biological, and environmental risks including depression, heart failure, renal failure, and dehydration. The sports psychologist Paul Russel believes the condition can be particularly damaging for young rugby players, whose determination to make the first team can lead to them turning to extreme methods of gaining muscle as they try to 'make weight'.

'These young players will be aged between 17 and 19 and nowhere near fully grown or ready to deal with a 16 stone adult, first-team player,'

'But the pressures to get into the first team are huge and to do that you have to make weight.

'Muscle dysmorphia can also lead to extreme dieting, exercise addiction and the use of anabolic steroids that have been associated with the premature death of several bodybuilders.'
