Users who inject steroids are exposed to the same risks as addicts of other drugs that are administered in the same way: hepatitis and AIDS.

Regardless of the way in which they are used, anabolic steroids can produce:

In MEN:
- a reduction in the size of the testicles,
- a lower sperm count,
- infertility,
- baldness,
- enlargement of the male breast tissue.



In WOMEN:
- facial hair,
- changes to or cessation of the menstrual cycle,
- enlargement of the clitoris,
- deepening of the voice.


In ADOLESCENTS:
- a premature stop in growth,
- accelerated changes during puberty.

"These applications are alternative, you can choose whichever one suits you better,and the temperature can be adjusted to each individual."

The application of cold water produces a greater stimulation of the skin and a more intense reaction of the body. There are two well-defined stages.

1- The first stage is a direct, local response to the application. When exposed to cold the blood vessels in the skin contract, reducing the flow of blood through the skin.


2- The second stage is a general, reflex-type action, which consists of reactive vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), which increases the flow of blood through the skin, giving it a reddish appearance.

In hydrotherapy treatments it is important to always favor this second, reactive phase by:

> Covering up in bed as soon as the application has finished,
> Taking physical exercise, or
> Applying friction to the skin.

"Never apply cold water to a cold body"

Rest, emotional change and exercise may alter blood pressure temporarily.

Some people who tend to suffer from either high or low pressure constantly, and in this case the body may be undergoing a pathological process that needs to be diagnosed and perhaps treated by a doctor.

The heart pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries, pressurizing the artery walls and exerting a tension that is known as blood pressure.

Walking, swimming, cycling, rowing, cross country skiing are the exercises that provide the greatest benefit to the heart & circulation, both in terms of prevention and treatment. This requires a mild, constant effort.

While walking, the blood flow returning to the heart increases as the veins of lower limbs contract, and this leads to a series of benefits:

- it helps stabilize the heartbeat, preveting arrhythmia.
- it protects against arteriosclerosis.
- It helps to prevent heart attacks and angina. Indeed, under medical supervision, it is an essential exercise for people recovering from these disorders.
- it stabilizes blood pressure, and is therefore benefecial for people with low and high blood pressure.
- it reduces harmful (LDL) levels, while increases good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
- it prevents blood from accumulating in lower imbs, especially in the case of varicose veins. It also prevents chilblains, helps to combat phlebitis and edemas, and, under medical supervision, forms part of treatment indicated for intermittent claudication (limping).
- since it improves the blood flow to the lungs, it can help protect against respiratory infections.
