Protein powder is harmfull for health: In today’s time, it is seen that most people prefer to go to the gym to keep themselves fit and along with the gym, they also consume protein powder found in the market. But they do not know how harmful protein powder can prove to be for their health. A group of orthopedic experts expressed a serious public health concern, saying that the misuse of steroids and untoward protein powder is causing serious damage to the hips of youths of 20-29 years of age to the gym.
More problems in 20-29 year old people
The warning was given during the ‘Delhi Hip 360’ conference held in the national capital Delhi, where orthopedic expert highlighted an anxious increase in the cases of Avskular Necrosis (AVN) and hip damage in the youth, which is usually seen in the elderly. Organizing the conference, Dr. L. Tomar said, “In recent years, we are seeing a significant increase in complaints related to hip in young patients. Every week in my OPD, I see two to three patients under the age of 30, many of whom are around 20-29 years of age, who constantly complain of hip pain.
Dr. Tomar, head of Orthopedics and Joint Replacement Unit at Max Hospital in Delhi, said, “Often, the investigation reveals auskular necrosis (AVN), which is a condition in which the blood supply in the hip bone is interrupted, which makes the bone useless. In more than 70 percent of these cases, there is a history of the use of anabolic steroids or excessive intake of uncomfortable protein powder. ”He said that recent research has shown that hip problems have increased in youth and the use of alcohol and steroids is the main reason for AVN in youth.
Having damaging the health of his bones- Dr. Tomar
Recently, Maharashtra FDA began a statewide investigation on protein powder, as many brands were found to be demonstrating steroids, many of which are freely available online or in gym without proper labeling or approval. Dr. Tomar said that the youth, especially those who want to have physical changes, are inadvertently damaging the health of their bones, especially the female head of the hip joint, which is particularly sensitive to changes in blood flow.
Senior Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Rajiv Jain said that steroids, especially when it is misused or consumed without maintenance, directly affects the blood supply in bones. Another observation presented by the orthopedic researcher at the conference revealed that more than 30 per cent of AVN cases seen in the tertiary hospitals of Delhi in the last three years were related to patients under 35 years of age and most of them had a history of steroid injections, oral steroid misuse or supplementary misuse.
Dr. Sharad Aggarwal, the scientific president of the conference and senior orthopedic surgeon, said that fitness in India has become a fast growing industry, but due to proper regulation and lack of education. Physicians have urged fitness trainers, influential individuals and gym owners to educate their customers about the dangers of shortcuts such as steroid cycles and uncomfortable protein supplements.
