Our bodies were designed to be resillient. When we push beyond our “natural” limits, we simply get better.
Take running, for example. The average person doesn’t wake up one day and say “I’m going to run 3 miles today” when she or he has never done it before.
You build up to it. You push yourself every time you run.
That goes for any physical activity, including bodybuilding.
are u trying to say that working out isn’t natural?
You can’t really exceed your natural limitations. Your body was designed (or adapted) to handle the stresses of working out by repairing itself and improving the body’s ability to reach higher limits then before.
Working out will affect you later in life because working out extends your life expectancy.
As long as you are not OVER-training your body, exercising will have no negative side effects later in life. But, lets say you run in excess of 4 miles a day. Over an extended period of time that shock could wear away at the cartilage in your joints.
All sport is about the human desire to meet goals, whose fulfillment, exceeds limits. Perhaps a better question might be whether or not bodybuilding is a sport or is it a kind of performance art?
the lifestyle of the professional bodybuilder is not healthy.
in terms of the recreational bodybuilder there are nothing but pros and no cons in that aspect. increasing muscle mass is healthy, increasing bone density is healthy, increasing muscle-tendon-ligament tensile strength is healthy, increasing the metabolic rate is healthy, increasing test levels is healthy, increasing gh output is healthy, stimulating the CNS is healthy, eating every 3-4 hours is healthy.
* about the only negative thing that heavy resistance training does is that it may increase free radicals
Natural bodybuilding is very beneficial. You can’t push past natural limits since humans are made to get stronger and better. Anabolic steroids are the only way to exceed your natural limits, and yes, chances are they will affect you later in life.

Hope that answered your question.
