10 Risks For Over Changing Your Body

There are many cases of body alteration that happen since the 20th century along with considerable improvements in medical technology. Even genetic modifications are already in the grasp of our knowledge, with the limitation of ethics. But I support this boundary because people tend to lose control and addicted to some physique adjustments driven by trends.






1. Balance Disturbance
Homeostasis as we called it. Stability, fairness, moderate, modest, yudha_f.

The human body has a system to manage the concentration of substances inside to be in the balance. When you go over-ripped, you lose numerous lipids which are essential for metabolism, immune, etc. Oppositely, if you go overweight, you'll also risk your heart to work very hard.

2. Arduous Adaptation


Some persons like to change portions of their limb. This will cause direct effect based on the adjustment. Leg affect posture and circulation; skin affects liver and metabolism; bone affects blood and muscle; etc.

This one example will probably get you. When you turn on the light while previously opened your eyes in the dark, your vision will get blurred for a while. This is due to an adaptation process from the less bright place to see. Your eyes convert some protein needed to absorb light at a limited speed.



3. Injury

Scissor, Hammer, and Fire are examples of thing that can cause harm. Illustration, art, paint, a warning sign.

A physical injury is a daily event, our cells are dying every day and regenerated. But some cells are not regenerating at all or hardly regenerate. In the organ level, there are some kinds of injuries such as blunt, penetrating, lacerating, heat, electricity, etc.



Moreover, direct interventions to adjust your form will almost certainly put injuries.



4. Loss of Function

When changing your body, you should take extra knowledge as it may reduce some organ functions. Illustration, cartoon, image, steel beam, malfunction.

After injuries or changes happen, your body will respond it with an alerting, eliminating, and regenerating effort. When you decide to alter or put additional features to your self, they will be responded to same responses I've mentioned. Some of the eliminated pieces might not entirely be regenerated, but also has the probability to be replaced by collagen fiber that less functional compared to normal tissue.



Search "Fibrosis" for more.



5. Accelerated Aging

RNA used telomere to transcript protein needed for cell metabolism.

Just as I've said, our cells are in a cycle of expiring and rejuvenating, but the length of telomere strand is shortened whenever a regeneration occurs. This becomes the limit of our body. You should also know that there are things that can accelerate the shortening of telomeres.



For a simple sample, from the point 3, injuries will trigger the regeneration of cells. The more regeneration forced to occur, the faster the telomere is shortening. Especially if you decide to do many experiments on your body that injures yourself.



Keyword: Senescence.



6. Absorbing

Unnecessary transfiguration will result in the waste of precious resources. Art, illustration, yudha-f, dollar, paint, image, picture, fire.

Injuries and adaptation require more nutrition. With all due respect in the athletic field where people pushed their limit, nutrition is as important as the practices themselves. Without the right nutrition, some organs will sacrifice some functions and resources to replace them. That's why the physician should be involved when one decides to be a pro.



7. Inaesthetic

Even if someone asked for aesthetic surgeries, too many alterations would just turn out bad. Scar, illustration, picture, yudha_f_health.

Over alterations resulted in injury, the injury resulted in a scar. The scar is inaesthetic.



Commonly, people have the choice to counter-act this with aesthetic departments available in the medical sector, but back again to point 7, it requires an adequate amount of resources.



Nevertheless, an over-change will generate an internal reaction that will always struggle to adapt. It can be suppressed, but if the suppression stopped, the internal struggles might show its sign.



8. Dependency

Supplements are the manifestation of dependency because it's sometimes unnecessary for normal people. But for some cases of physique modification, it's inevitable not to consume one. Art, illustration, image.
Body changes will require further follow-up such as immuno-suppressant agent, supplement, etc. Just as absorbing as point 6.



9. Mutation

Whether it's chemical, physical wave, or mechanical, many artificial products generate additional cell mutation. Mutant, art, image, illustration, medical, health.

In a sub-topic of adaptation, cells may undergo mutations. In the regeneration process, due to exposure to free radical and aging, cells could behave inappropriately. Mutations for the purpose of survival is good, but many are bad and called "Cancer".



10. Pain

Electrifying and localized pain depicted by this illustration symbolizes the use of nerve to alarm a person to avoid further exploitation. Art, illustration, picture, inflammation, dolor, cardinal sign.

Whenever a drastic measure is applied to the body, it will result in pain. It's a primal reaction to alert the brain that the body is receiving harm.






People are ever changing no matter who, where, when, and why. Those changes are what propel us to be better. But sometimes some changes provide more risks than benefits.



One indicator of something is "Over", is that it creates disruptions for you and people around you to do daily tasks.
