A well built physique is much desired by everyone, no matter how it is achieved- be it through exercise, body building or the yoga, which is the art and science of living.
Anyone who opts for bodybuidling, either as a career or merely only to keep onself, definitely has to add protiens, fats, carbohydrates and other minerals in the diet at the standard levels.
Thus one may sip a protien shake, glusose biscuits or protien bars and other sort of supplements.
But a man’s desire for body building has come as a shocker for many.
Blindly believing that zinc would help him in building a well-toned physique, the 26-year old man from Delhi swallowed as many as 39 coins and 37 magnets. However, soon he complained of repeated vomiting and abdominal pain for more than 20 days.
After being taken to the doctors at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital the patient told the team of doctors that he swallowed the coins and magnets under the assumption that zinc helps in body-building.
On diagnosis through X-ray and CT scan it was made sure that a huge load of coins and magnets caused blockage of the intestine, following which immediate surgery on the patient was performed.
As the doctors performed the surgery, they saw coins and magnets in the patient’s small intestine in two different loops. The magnetic effect pulled the two loops together and eroded them.
The intestines were opened and the coins and magnets were taken out. Both the loops were rejoined by two different anastomoses.
Doctors said that a total of 39 coins (Rs 1, 2, 5 coins) and 37 magnets (heart, spherical, star, bullet and triangle shapes) were recovered from his stomach.
The patient was discharged in a healthy condition after seven days.
