Does Body-building Negatively Affect The Intelligence Of An Individual?
I am an electrical engineer who wants to be an intelligent electrical scholar. I am a big fan of body-building and have been practicing it for the past 9 years. As rumoured by many, will body-building affect my studies/intelligence in becoming an excellent electrical scholar ?

Hello,
Thank you for asking your question at health care magic
No, Body building have not shown to cause any ill effect on intelligence.
However while body building follow a healthy diet according to your calorific needs, use approved supplements that are safe under terms of Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act .Do not use any supplements containing steroids /testosterone as these have bad effects on health.
Hope I was able to help you
