Blood pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the wall of arteries. When the doctor measures your blood pressure the results are given in two numbers. The first number, called systolic blood pressure is the pressure caused by your heart contracting and pushing out blood The second number,called diastolic blood pressure,is the pressure when your heart relaxes and fills with blood.Your blood pressure reading is usually given as the systolic blood pressure number over the diastolic blood pressure number, such as 138/72.Normal blood pressure for adults is defined as a systolic pressure of less than 12o and as a diastolic pressure less than 80.This is stated as 120/80.

The only way of knowing whether  you have high blood pressure is to have a blood pressure test.

All adults over 40 are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least every 5 years. Getting this done is easy and could save your life.

You can get your blood pressure tested at a number of places, including

At your GP surgery

At some pharmacies

As part of your NHS health check

In some work places

You can aslo check your blood pressure yourself with a home blood pressure monitor.one reason to visit your doctor regularly is to have your blood pressure.Routine check of your blood pressure will help pick up an early rise in blood pressure,even though you might feel fine.If there’s an indication that your blood pressure is high at two or more checkups,the doctor may ask you to check your blood pressure at home at different times of the day.If the pressure stays high,even when you are relaxed,the doctor may suggest exercise changes in your diet,and most likely medication.

If your blood pressure is too high,it puts extra strain on your blood vessels,heart and other organs such as the brain, kidneys and eyes.

Persistent high blood pressure increase your risk of a number of serious and potentially life-threatning conditions such as:

Heart disease

Heart attack

Strokes

Heart failour

Peripheral arterial disease

Aortic aneurysms

Kindney disease

Vascular dementia

The risk factor for essiential and secondary blood pressure are following:

Age:The risk of high blood pressure increase as a person become older because the blood vessels become less flexible.

Family history:people who have close family members with hypertension have a significantly of developing it themselves.

Ethical background:African-american people have high risk of developing hypertension than other people.

obesity and being over weight:people who are overweight or have obesity more likely to develop high blood pressure.

Some aspects of sex:high blood pressure is more common in adults men than adult women .however,after the age of 55 years a woman’s relative risk of high blood pressure.

physical inactivity:lack of exercise and having a sedentary lifestyle raise the risk of hypertension.

Nonsmoking intake the high blood vessels to narrow resulting in high blood pressure.Smoking also reduces the blood’s oxygen content so the heart pumps faster to compensate,causing an increase blood pressure.

Poor diet:Many health care professionals say that a diet high in fats and salt leads a high risk of hypertension.Plant source of fat such as nuts, olive oil, avocados and omega oil,are healthful. Saturated fats and trans fats which are common in animal-sourced and processed food,are bad for health

High cholesterol:More than 50 percent of all people with high blood pressure have high cholesterol.A diet that contains a lots of unhealthy fats can cause cholesterol to build up arteries.

Diabetes:People with diabetes have higher risk of hypertension.Prescribed use of insulin and consistent blood suger can reduce the long term risk of people with Type 1 diabetes developing hypertension.People with type 2 diabetes are at risk of hypertension as a result of high blood pressure sugar,as well as other factors,such as certain medication,underlying cardiovascular disease and began overweight and obesity.

Pregnancy women have higher risk of developing hypertension than women of the same age who are not pregnant. Precambrian is a placental disorder that can increase blood pressure to dangerous level.

High blood pressure is very common in older people.As we age,our vascular system changes.Arteries get stiffer,so blood pressure goes up.This is true even for people who have heart health habits.The good news is that the blood pressure can be controlled in most people.There are many lifestyle chang you can make to lower your risk of high blood pressure:

Keep a healthy weight:Being overweight adds to your risk of high blood pressure.Ask your doctor if you need to loss weight.

Exercise every day:Moderate exercise can lower your risk of high blood pressure.Set some goals so you can exercise safely and work your way up to exercising at least 30 minutues a day most days of the week.Ckeckwuith your doctor before starting an exercise plan if you have any health problems that are not being treated.You can find more infirnation about exercise and physical activity.

Eat a healthy diet:A diet rich in fruits,vegetaes,whole grains and low fat dairy products may help to lowrr blood pressure.

Cut down on salt:As you get older,the body and blood pressure become more sensitive to salt so you may need to watch how much salt in your diet.Most of the salt come from processed(for example soup snd baked goods)a low salt diet such as the Dash diet might help lower your blood pressure.Talk with your doctor about eating less salt.

Don’t smoke:Smoke increase your risk of high blood pressure heart disease,stroke and other.If you smoke,quite.You are never old too quit,and the health benefits of quitting can b seen at any age.

Get a good night sleep:Tell your doctor if you have been told you snore or sound like you stop breathing for moments when you sleep.This may be a sign of problem called sleep apnea.Treating a sleep apnea and getting a good night sleep can help to lower blood pressure.

Manangingstress:Relaxing and coping with problems can help lower blood pressure.

If you are diagonse with high blood pressure your doctor may recommend taking ine or more medicines to keep it under control.These usually needs to be taken once a day.Common blood pressure medication inculde:

ACE inhibitor:such as enalapril,lisinopril,perindopril and ramipril.

Angiotension-2 receptor blocker(ARBs) such as candasarten,irbesarten,losertan,volsaran and olmesarten.

Calicum channel blockers: amoldipine, felodipine,nifedipine or diltiazem and verapamil.

Diuretics:such as indapamide,bendroflumethiazide.

Beta blockers: such as atenolol and bisoprolol.

Alpha blockers : such as doxazosin.

Renin inhibitor: such as aliskerin.

Other diuretics : such as amiloride and spironolactone.

It’s not always clear what causes high blood pressure,but certain things can increase your risk.You are not at an increased  risk of high blood pressure if you:

Are over the age of 65

Are overweight or obese

Are of african or carribean decent

Have a relative with high blood pressure

Eat to much salt and don’t eat enough fruits or vegetables

Don’t do enough exercise

Drink too much alcohol or coffe

Smoke

Don’t get much sleep or have distrubed sleep.

Making healthy lifestyle changes can help reduce your chances of getting high blood pressure and help lower your blood pressureif it’s already high.The following lifestyle changes can help prevent and lower high blood pressure:

Reduce the amount of salt you eat and have a generally healthy diet

Cut back on alcohol if you drink too much

Loss weight if you are overweight

Exercise regularly

Cut down on caffeine

Stop smoking

Try to get at least 6 hours a sleep at night

Some people with high blood pressure may also need to take one or more medicine to stop their blood pressure getting to high.

High blood pressure is serious because it can lead to major health problems.Make a point of learning what blood pressure should be and remember:

High blood pressure may not make you feel sick,it is serious see a doctor to treat it.

You can lower your blood pressure by changing your day to day habits and by taking medicine,if needed.

If you take high blood pressure medicine making some lifestyle changes may help lower the dose you need.

Don’t take more of your blood pressure medicines than your doctor prescribes.Don’t stop taking your medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop.Don’t skip a day or take a half pill.Remember to refine your medicine before you run out of pills.If you can’t afford your medicines,talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder involving the airways and is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms. It is usually associated with airflow obstruction, inflammation, and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. Asthma is one of the most important chronic diseases worldwide and it affects individuals of all ages. Patients usually present with occasional episodes of asthma attacks, breathlessness, wheezing, and chest tightness. The allergen or precipitating factor causes airway hyper-responsiveness that leads to narrowing of the passages, causing obstruction of airflow.

There is a huge variation in the incidence rate of asthma geographically. While in the Asian continent, Pakistan [6] has an incidence rate of 15.8%.

Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in the Dominican Republic and its impact and burden on society and children’s development continues to rise. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of childhood asthma and its associated risk factors over a larger sample size in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. This will provide a more reliable baseline data on the prevalence of asthma in the pediatric population in the Dominican Republic, which in turn can help improve policies, screening protocols, and guidelines for asthma detection and control.

Around 7.5 million Pakistani adults and 15 million children suffer from asthma due to the increasing urban population, enlarging intercity industries, air pollution and other environmental factors, disclosed a detailed research study conducted by doctors associated with the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH).

“Around five percent of adults of total population and ten percent of total child population suffer from asthma in Pakistan, and the last few decades have seen a growing increase in these numbers,” Dr. Nawal Salahuddin, associate professor of medicine at the AKUH, told Pakistan Today on the eve of World Asthma Day that is being observed on Tuesday (today).

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and it is characterized by recurrent breathing problems and symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. These symptoms vary over time, and from individual to individual.

“Correctly using anti-asthma medication and avoiding allergens is really the cornerstone of achieving control. Inhalers are the first line of treatment and are the safest way of delivering medicine to the lungs,” Irfan said, but lamented that many asthma patients have serious reservations over using inhaler therapy and avoid regular use of medications that have to be inhaled.

In Pakistan, there is great variation in reported asthma prevalence ranging from 4.3% to 31.58% in different areas. Indoor and outdoor air pollution in the region is representing a major cause of asthma.

Asthma cannot be cured, but could be controlled. The strongest risk factors for developing asthma are exposure, especially in infancy, to indoor allergens and a family history of asthma or allergy. Exposure to tobacco smoke and exposure to chemical irritants in the workplace are additional risk factors. Other risk factors include certain drugs, low birth weight and respiratory infection. The weather (cold air), extreme emotional expression and physical exercise can exacerbate asthma.

Urbanization appears to be correlated with an increase in asthma. The nature of the risk is unclear because studies have not taken into account indoor allergens although these have been identified as significant risk factors.

“When i have an asthma attack, i feel like a fish with no water”.

In Islamabad

About seven percent of Pakistan population is suffering from asthma and there might be an increase of about 20 to 25 percent within next 10 to 20 years, said Dr Khalid Waheed, chest and asthma specialist.

He said that asthma was a chronic disease of the lungs which causes breathing problems. Symptoms of asthma include breathlessness, coughing, wheezing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. These symptoms vary in frequency and severity, he said, adding when the symptoms were not under control, the airways can become inflamed making breathing difficult.

Whilst asthma cannot be cured, the symptoms can be controlled enabling people with asthma to live full lives. In case of asthma, external elements (allergins) cause difficulty in breathing due to disturbance in breathing pipe, he elaborated. Out of every 100 asthma patients, he said that 10 were children. He cautioned that there should not be carpet and cockroaches in the bedroom.

“Inhalers are the best option to control asthma,” he said, and suggested preventive inhalers in this regard. He dispelled the impression that bananas, rice, milk etc aggravate the disease. It is pertinent to mention here that May 3, being the Asthma Day, is being observed in Pakistan as well as across the world with aim to raise awareness, care and support for those affected by asthma.

Symptoms

• Breathing problems
• Wheezing
• Chest tightness
• Coughing
• Whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling

Asthma is Serious. Asthma is a serious disease, and can kill if it is not treated the right way. One large study showed that in the children who died of asthma, one third of them had mild disease! When it is treated the right way, people with asthma can live normal, active lives.

Electronic

BACKGROUND: Electronic media such as social media (Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace), email, and text messaging could be useful in the management of asthma. However, patient use and preferences for electronic media in asthma management is currently unknown. Electronic media offers a novel way to improve asthma care. Email was the most preferred method, though text messaging and social media sites like Facebook may be appropriate for certain patients.

Number of things — your age, symptoms,

Asthma triggers and what works best to

Keep your asthma under control.

Preventive, long-term control medications reduce the inflammation in your airways that leads to symptoms. Quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators) quickly open swollen airways that are limiting breathing. In some cases, allergy medications are necessary. Long-term asthma control medications, generally taken daily, are the cornerstone of asthma treatment. These medications keep asthma under control on a day-to-day basis and make it less likely you’ll have an asthma attack. Types of long-term control medications

Quick-relief (rescue) medications are used as needed for rapid, short-term symptom relief during an asthma attack — or before exercise if your doctor recommends it. Allergy medications may help if your asthma is triggered or worsened by allergies. Taking steps to reduce your exposure asthma triggers is a key part of asthma control, including:

• Use your air conditioner. Air conditioning reduces the amount of airborne pollen from trees, grasses and weeds that finds its way indoors.
• Maintain optimal humidity. If you live in a damp climate, talk to your doctor about using a dehumidifier.
• Prevent mold spores. Clean damp areas in the bath, kitchen and around the house to keep mold spores from developing.
• Reduce pet dander.
• Clean your home at least once a week.
• Cover your nose and mouth if it’s cold out.
• Get regular exercise. Regular exercise can strengthen your heart and lungs, which helps relieve asthma symptoms.
• Maintain a healthy weight.

Control heartburn and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). You may need treatment for GERD before your asthma symptoms improve.

Alternative medicine

Certain alternative treatments may help with asthma symptoms. Talk to your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements, as some may interact with medications you take.

Preparing for your appointment

You’re likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred to an allergist or a pulmonologist.Because appointments can be brief, and because there’s often a lot of ground to cover, it’s a good idea to be well-prepared. Here’s some information to help you get ready for your appointment, as well as what to expect from your doctor.In Pakistan are several misconceptions and myths related to asthma attacks and their treatment in the country. For exam triggers for management of asthma. So following are some recommendations to control the increasing number of asthma patients in Pakistan.

1)Although International asthma management guidelines address almost all aspects of disease but it is felt that awareness campaigns and training programs for general practitioners and careers of asthmatic patients are needed, so that these can be used to reduce the morbidity and mortality in addition to improving the quality of life of asthmatic patients.

2) An extensive educational media campaign is required for awareness of the masses.

3) The burden of asthma can markedly be reduced using strategies that have been adapted to the local societal, economic and health care environments.

4) Poor compliance of guidelines is one of the major problems in treatment of asthma and lack of knowledge and understanding about the disease is the major reason for poor compliance. So an extensive effort on government level is required to control the number of asthmatics in Pakistan.

5) There is a need for the development of a common national strategy and action plan by the government to combat the rising dilemma.

6)It is also the responsibility of asthma experts and healthcare professionals to collaborate with government public health authorities and international organizations to improve efficiency in management and care of asthmatic persons in the community.

Heart Attack

A heart attack is the death of a segment of heart muscle caused by a loss of blood supply. The blood is usually cut off when an artery supplying the heart muscle is blocked by a blood clot. A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is most often a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries) .The plaque eventually, breaks away and forms a clot. The interrupted blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.

A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, can be fatal, but treatment has improved dramatically over the years. It’s crucial to call 911 or emergency medical help if you think you might be having a heart attack.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) currently looms as the greatest health threat to Americans. The rise of coronary heart disease to the top of our medical “to-do list” is relatively recent. In 1900, pneumonia was the leading cause of death in the United States, and the average life expectancy was only 47. During the first half of the 20th century, doctors and scientists focused on treating infectious diseases — for example, developing new drugs to cure pneumonia and virtually eradicate tuberculosis. These dramatic advances enabled people to live longer — and inadvertently opened the door to coronary heart disease.

By 1930, average life expectancy in America had risen to about 60, and heart disease had become the number one cause of death. These statistics reflect an important feature of CHD: the incidence of the disease increases strikingly with age. Longer life means more time for arterial plaques to develop and cause problems. The risk of an 85-year-old man having a heart attack is 25 times that of a 45-year-old.

Longer life does not by itself cause CHD, but the combination of longer life and damaging lifestyles increases the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Contemporary lifestyles have created a minefield of risk factors for CHD. Liberated from the grip of infectious diseases, too many of us fill our extra years of life with smoking, eating, and many excuses not to exercise.

A heart attack happens when there is a sudden complete blockage of an artery that supplies blood to an area of your heart. A heart is a muscle, and it needs a good blood supply to keep it healthy.As we get older, the smooth inner walls of the arteries that supply the blood to the heart can become damaged and narrow due to the build up of fatty materials, called plaque.

When an area of plaque breaks, blood cells and other parts of the blood stick to the damaged area and form blood clots. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot completely blocks the flow of blood and seriously reduces blood flow to the heart muscle. This also results in patients experiencing chest pain.

As a result, some of the heart muscle starts to die.

The longer the blockage is left untreated, the more the heart muscle is damaged. If the blood flow is not restored quickly, the damage to the heart muscle is permanent.A heart attack is sometimes called a myocardial infarction (MI), acute myocardial infarction, coronary occlusion or coronary thrombosis.

The heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to nourish it. The coronary arteries provide the heart with this critical blood supply. If you have coronary artery disease, those arteries become narrow and blood cannot flow as well as they should. Fatty matter, calcium, proteins, and inflammatory cells build up within the arteries to form plaquesof different sizes. The plaque deposits are hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside.

When the plaque is hard, the outer shell cracks (plaque rupture), platelets (disc-shaped particles in the blood that aid clotting) come to the area, and blood clots form around the plaque. If a blood clot totally blocks the artery, the heart muscle becomes “starved” for oxygen. Within a short time, death of heart muscle cells occurs, causing permanent damage. This is a heart attack.

Some are the fast facts of heart attack:

• During a heart attack, the heart muscle loses blood supply and is damaged.
• Chest discomfort and pain are common symptoms.
• The risk of a heart attack increases when a man is over 45 and a woman is over 55.
• Smoking and obesity are big factors, particularly in the at-risk age range.

How to find heart attack?  So there are symptoms of heart attack  that can easily understand by Cardiology doctors.

There are clear symptoms of a heart attack that require immediate medical attention.

A feeling of pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing, or aching in the chest or arms that spreads to the neck, jaw, or back can be a sign that a person is having a heart attack.

The following are other possible signs and symptoms of a heart attack occurring:

• coughing
• nausea
• vomiting
• crushing chest pain
• dizziness
• shortness of breath called dyspepsia
• face seeming gray in color
• a feeling of terror that life is ending
• feeling awful, generally
• restlessness
• feeling clammy and sweaty
• shortness of breath

Changing position does not alleviate the pain of a heart attack. The pain a person feels is normally constant, although it may sometimes come and go.

Warning signs of heart attack that an attack is occur in any time, so that you should actively know and go to hospital.

As heart attacks can be fatal, it is vital to recognize the warning signs that an attack is occurring.

While the symptoms listed above are all linked to heart attacks, there are four warning signs listed by the American Heart Association (AHA) as being crucial signs of an attack. These include:

• discomfort, pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest that lasts several minutes or resolves then returns
• pain or discomfort in the arms, neck, back, stomach, or jaw
• sudden shortness of breath

Other signs can include a cold sweat, a sick or nauseous feeling, or being lightheaded.

When a person has these symptoms, the emergency services should be called immediately.

Some complications happen during heart attack. There two types of complications. The first one is Immediate complications and the second is complications that can occur later.

Immediate complications

• Arrhythmias: the heart beats irregularly, either too fast or too slowly.
• Cardiogenic shock: a person’s blood pressure drops suddenly and the heart cannot supply enough blood for the body to work adequately.
• Hypoxemia: levels of oxygen in the blood become too low.
• Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulates in and around the lungs.
• DVT or deep vein thrombosis: the deep veins of the legs and pelvis develop blood clots that either block or interrupt the flow of blood in the vein.
• Myocardial rupture: the heart attack damages the wall of the heart, meaning an increased risk of a heart wall rupture.
• Ventricular aneurysm: a heart chamber, known as a ventricle, forms a bulge.

Complications that can occur later

• Aneurysm: scar tissue builds up on the damaged heart wall, leading to blood clots, low blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms.
• Angina: not enough oxygen reaches the heart, causing chest pain.
• Congestive heart failure: the heart can only beat very weakly, leaving a person feeling exhausted and breathless.
• Edema: fluid accumulates in the ankles and legs, causing them to swell.
• Loss of erectile function: erectile dysfunction is generally caused by a vascular problem. However, it can also be the result of depression.
• Loss of libido: a loss of sexual drive can happen, especially in the case of men.
• Pericarditis: the lining of the heart becomes inflamed, causing serious chest pain.

It is important that a doctor monitors a person for several months after they have had a heart attack to check for any of these complications that may occur.

There are some causes of heart attack:

The following factors are associated with increased risk of a heart attack:

• Age: Heart attacks are more likely when a man is over 45, and when a woman is over 55.
• Angina: This causes chest pain due to lack of oxygen or blood supply to the heart.
• High cholesterol levels: These can increase the chance of blood clots in the arteries.
• Diabetes: This can increase heart attack risk.
• Diet: For example, consuming large quantities of saturated fats can increase the likelihood of a heart attack.
• Genetics: A person can inherit a higher risk of heart attack.
• Heart surgery: This can lead to a heart attack later on.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure can put unnecessary strain on the heart.
• Obesity: Being significantly overweight can put pressure on the heart.
• Previous heart attack.
• Smoking: Smokers are at much higher risk than non-smokers.
• HIV: People who are HIV-positive have a 50 percent higher risk.
• Work stress: Those who are shift workers or have stressful jobs can face a higher heart attack risk.

Physical inactivity is a factor in heart attack risk, and the more active people are, the lower their risk of having a heart attack.

Often, when it occurs, a heart attack is caused by a combination of factors, rather than a single one

How tom diagnose a heart attack?

Any doctor, nurse, or healthcare professional will send someone straight to hospital if they suspect they may be having a heart attack. Once there, several tests may be done, including:

• ECG or electrocardiograph
• cardiac enzyme tests
• chest X-ray

Some are the treatments during a heart attack

The quicker someone is treated when having a heart attack, the greater the chances of success. These days, most heart attacks can be dealt with effectively.

However, it is crucial to remember that a person’s survival depends largely on how quickly they reach the hospital.

If a person has a history of heart attacks, they should speak to a doctor about treatment plans.

Sometimes, a person who is having a heart attack will stop breathing. In this case, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, should be started immediately. This process involves:

• manual chest compressions
• a defibrillator

Most people will need several kinds of medications or treatments after a heart attack.

 The aim of these measures is to prevent future heart attacks occurring. They may include:

Aspirin and other antiplatelets

Beta blockers

ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors

Statins

Angioplasty

CABG or coronary artery bypasses graft

Preventions about heart attack:

The best way of preventing a heart attack is to have a healthy lifestyle. Measures for healthy living include the following:

• not smoking
• eating a balanced, healthful diet
• getting plenty of exercise
• getting plenty of good quality sleep
• keeping diabetes under control
• keeping alcohol intake down
• maintaining blood cholesterol at optimum levels
• keeping blood pressure at a safe level
• maintaining a healthy body weight
• avoiding stress where possible
• learning how to manage stress

It may be helpful for people to learn more about the warning signs of a heart attack, as well.

Recovering from a heart attack can be a gradual process. It depends on the severity of the heart attack and other factors, such as a person’s age.

A person’s recovery may involve:

• Resuming physical activity: it is vital that a recovering heart attack patient stays active. However, a specialist should design any exercise program for them.
• Returning to work: the appropriate time for someone to go back to work depends on various factors, including the severity of the heart attack and the type of job they do. It is vital not to rush back to work.
• A period of depression: many people who have had a heart attack experience depression not long afterward. Those who feel depressed or anxious should tell their doctors.
• Driving again: experts advise that a person refrains from driving for at least 4 weeks after a heart attack.
• Erectile dysfunction: approximately one-third of men have problems getting or sustaining an erection after a heart attack.

It is important that men with erectile dysfunction talk to their doctors, as medication can restore function in most cases.

Experts say that sexual activity does not raise a person’s risk of having another heart attack.

 Basics  of Magazine:

 I will examine Men’s Fitness magazine, specifically discuss the purpose of this dissertation was to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the reading of men? fitness magazines and concerns related to leanness and muscularity.The reading of these magazines and internationalization of the fit ideal, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorder attitudes among men’s. However, little was known about the nature of this relationship.that fitness magazines disseminate only one type of male physique as healthy, fit, and attractive: the lean and muscular physique, characterized by clear abdominal muscles. Dissemination of this ideal may have the positive effect of promoting involvement in healthy activities, such as exercising with weights. However, the ideal is an extreme, unrealistic representation, which may contribute to body dissatisfaction and engagement in unhealthy, appearance-driven pursuits. In fact, few men can achieve the ideal without doing so. For men suggest that they may be internalizing the ideal and engaging in behaviors designed to attain it, such as limiting carbohydrates and/or fat in their diets, increasing consumption of protein, exercising (particularly with weights), and using performance enhancing supplements such as whey protein, creating, caffeine, and Phaedra to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass. Some of these behaviors, particularly the use of supplements, could lead to serious health problems.

 Overall,  that exposure the magazines was a significant factor in motivating either men’s acceptance of the lean and muscular ideal or their involvement in behaviors linked to the pursuit of that ideal. Rather, findings suggest that other influences, such as previous involvement in competitive sports or interactions with friends who engage in these behaviors, may contribute to an interest in body change that precedes the reading of fitness magazines.Which readers-exposure to fitness magazines may serve to reinforce existing concerns related to achieving a lean and muscular physique.
