[GoLdeN M 07]

injury.

Ok so will injury leave permanent damage or will it get better and back to normal during time.

 

[camarosuper6]

depends on severity. Obviously most injuries heal, but its dependant on the type of injury to say whether or not you will fully recover or not.

STRESS

That's a big one. If your stressed out your acidity level is through the roof.

Underuse is another way, like in the case of someone who is bedridden.

I remember a few years ago I was buff as hell from all that heavy weightlifting. After that I was on vacation for about a month and I didn't do a single push-up or any other excersise other than walk and I came back skinny. So yeah, you need to make sure the muscles are in use.
