A new study is making waves in the bodybuilding community that hints that IFBB professional bodybuilding carries a higher risk of death compared to amateur bodybuilders. Almost 20,000 bodybuilders were followed for an average of 8 years. Results: 1 in every 167 bodybuilders had died and of those 46 deaths were related to sudden cardiac arrest. Their hearts stopped working suddenly, without warning. Among Mr. Olympia competitors, it was 1 out of every 20. What’s the cause and are these results to be believed?

How to raise NAD naturally? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a very important molecule that helps us make energy, repair damaged DNA, and is involved with sirtuins, protein-based enzymes that play a role in aging. We appear to make less NAD as we grow older. Replenishing NAD via supplements like NMN and nicotinamide riboside is a popular anti-aging strategy, and I give my thoughts on what supplements would be the best options. Let’s discuss the research showing how you can raise NAD without supplements and what I believe is the very best way.    To see the research watch the video https://youtu.be/lLqWMDGey6w   Read My Rhabdo Book   Education is the best defense against getting rhabdomyolysis.
