In the next few lines ai am going to tell you why alcohol affects the muscle growth process.

Too much alcohol will almost definitely have a significant negative impact on your muscle-building results. Alcohol is far more harmful than most people think, and it's very important that you understand how this drug is affecting your progress.

It negatively affects protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is the process where amino acids are joined together to form complete proteins. Excessive alcohol consumption slows this process down by up to 20%, and since your muscles are made up of protein, you can see how this is a problem.

It is able to lower testosterone levels and increase your estrogen. Testosterone is the most important muscle-building hormone in your body. Among the factors that can limit the capacity for muscle building is the person's level of available testosterone. You will want to get all the free testosterone levels you can if you are serious about building muscle.

Alcohol causes dehydration. The body can quickly become dehydrated because the kidneys have to use so much water to be able to process the alcohol. A minimal amount of dehydration can be critical to body builders due to the fact that water is crucial to the muscle-building process. Our body's muscles are made up of 70% water.

Significant vitamins such as A, C, B, Calcium and several others are depleted quickly when you drink alcohol. Natural supplements keep your bodies running correctly and much of this is related to muscular development and maintaining such.

Alcohol can be surprisingly fattening because of the 7 empty calories per gram. One key process in burning fat, the Kreb's Cycle, is influenced negatively by alcohol consumption.

If you consume alcohol close to bedtime it could have an effect on your quality of sleep. Another important step in the process of building muscle is getting the sleep you need. If you do not get the right amount of rest and let your body take time to recover, you will not notice the same benefits.

While it is vital to enjoy things in life, excesses may result in trouble. For attaining substantial results in muscle-building, one's alcohol consumption must be checked and if need be, brought down moderate levels, and this is imperative if you are serious in your intentions.

Don't be afraid to go out and have a good time once in a while, just make sure to keep your drinking nights infrequent and properly nourish yourself to lessen its effects.
