Diabetes: overtime it was discovered that athletes do spend lots of time in coffee shops and bakeries, engaging in chronic consumption of scones, also they’re used to carbohydrate laden foods such as pasta, pizza and spaghetti. Also in between these meals is the constant intake of sugar packed energy bars, energy chews and energy drinks. Not only do these cause constant damage to blood vessels but can easily lead to type II diabetes, as the cell surface receptors for insulin becomes less and less sensitive to elevated insulin levels attempting to shove all the extra sugar into the muscle.
   Solution:

Avoid this only by less intake of sugar contents and low carbohydrate intake.

1. Premature aging: The heart has a finite number of beats and the back has a finite number of bends and the cartilage has a finite number of shock absorption, and once you reach your quota your body begins to fail. Combined with a fibrotic heart, worn adrenal glands, and chronic systemic inflammation. You have the perfect storm for a prematurely aged and broken down body.
