9 Amazing How To Drink Properly

What is the permissible amount of alcohol consumption, what will not harm and is considered moderate by experts? And in which cases even the "moderate" hides health risks ...

Almost a myth - red wine is more useful

There is no evidence that one type of alcoholic beverage is better than others in terms of the effect against heart disease. According to some studies, red wine is considered a healthier drink than beer and liqueur due to the presence of flavonoids and resveratrol, considered a powerful antioxidant with a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. But in others, the effect on health is the same. 

When we overdo it with alcohol

Chronic alcohol abuse has a long-term effect on blood pressure. High blood pressure puts a strain on the heart, which is considered a risk factor for heart disease, leading to heart attacks and heart attacks. The content of triglycerides in the blood also increases, which again leads to heart problems as a result.

What happens after we drink alcohol?

After drinking, the alcohol enters the stomach and enters the small intestine, where it is absorbed and enters the blood. How fast we drink affects the blood alcohol content. The content of alcohol in the blood also depends on:

• the rate of absorption of alcohol by the body individually,
• stomach contents - a full stomach slows down the absorption of alcohol,
• gender - the body of women secretes less of the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of alcohol, due to which its negative impact manifests itself more quickly,
• age - in adults over 65 years there is a longer retention of the amount of alcohol in the blood.

Once in the blood, alcohol reaches every part of the body through the network of arteries - heart, brain , lungs ... A small amount of alcohol is excreted from the lungs, kidneys and skin. The liver is the organ responsible for processing alcohol with the help of enzymes, purifying the blood and the body of toxic products formed during its consumption.

However, this process is slow - 30 ml of liqueur is processed by the liver in one hour. Therefore, the consumption of more than the specified amounts of alcohol inhibits the body, the metabolic processes associated with the absorption, processing and purification of tissues from residual products.

Alcohol consumption - according to the state of

health Health is also an indicator of the amount of alcohol we can afford. The presence of liver or pancreatic disease, as well as survivors of hemorrhagic stroke, should refrain from alcohol consumption at all. The same goes for people with signs of cancer of the esophagus, larynx, pharynx or oral cavity.

According to research, two drinks a day dramatically increases the risk of cancer of the oral cavity or esophagus. Similar data are reported for women who have a family history of breast cancer - 30% higher risk of developing the disease, even with low alcohol consumption. Although more recent studies show that folic acid intake neutralizes this risk.
 

Experts also recommend that people who have alcoholics in their family also refrain from drinking, as the likelihood of becoming addicted is increased.
 

People with high blood pressure, high levels of triglycerides, ulcers, heartburn, sleep apnea should be consumed by a competent doctor for the permissible amounts and type of alcohol they can take, if permissible in their case.

Why does a madman run away from alcohol ...
Since drinking alcohol in large doses has a depressing effect in the long run, its abuse can cause anxiety disorders, sleep problems and mood problems. Alcohol impairs adequate sleep in general and the REM phase in particular, which supports the centers of learning and memory in the brain. This explains why people are irritable and difficult to navigate after drinking alcohol.
