Steroids Persuasive Speech

Have you ever thought of taking steroids? If you take a look at some of the world's best athletes you must think, they have to take steroids how else would they be so big? Most of these athletes work hard and have dedication to their sport. Steroids can have a big effect on your health both mental and physical, it has negative ramifications in the sports world, and there are many ways to get bigger and stronger naturally. First off what are steroids? Anabolic steroids, technically known as anabolic-androgenic steroids, are drugs that are structurally related to the cyclic steroid rings system and have similar effects to testosterone in the body (wikipedia.com, “anabolic steroids”). Steroids have an immense list of side effects some from the list are, acne, breast development in men, heart attacks, and liver cancer. A study done on male mice show that mice that did not take steroids lived longer than those who did. (drugabuse.gov, “What are the consequences of steroid abuse”). The mental health of steroid abusers is not great either. Steroids can cause angry feelings that can lead to behavioral problems otherwise known as roid rages. Some short term effects of steroids could be impaired judgement, paranoia, and jealousy.
If you want to get bigger naturally it will take time and you will have to dedicate to it. Some things that make you a better athlete and bigger are working out with someone better than you. By working out with someone better than you pushes you and motivates you to get to their level. Another thing would be work on your weak points in your body. You may not notice it but if you work on the smallest weak points it will make you better. Athletes are built from the ground up and if you spend all your time just working on your arms you can create a muscular imbalance. The last thing would be to flush your diet of all bad or unhealthy foods and
