Drinking alcohol is a behavior that many people have in daily life, but whether it is social interaction or simply releasing pressure, long-term drinking is easy to bring damage to the body;
Because alcohol contains a lot of irritating substances, especially ethanol, after entering the human body, it will be converted into acetaldehyde, and in the long run, the risk of disease will increase, such as the 6 types mentioned below.
People who want to drink regularly understand in advance and stay away from drinking behavior as soon as possible.
1. Gastroenteritis
One of the diseases that is easily induced by long-term drinking is gastroenteritis, because after too much alcohol enters the human body, it will constantly stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, which in turn will induce gastroenteritis, resulting in fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other abnormal symptoms on the patient's body.
2. Cirrhosis of the liver
Cirrhosis is a very serious liver disease, and if it is not reversed in time, it is easy to evolve into liver cancer.
It is precisely in this way that everyone must stay away from behaviors that can easily cause cirrhosis, including drinking alcohol, because the liver itself is an organ that breaks down alcohol;
If you drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, it will increase its burden, and even the appearance of alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is one of the main culprits of cirrhosis.
3. Pancreatitis
To talk about why regular drinking causes pancreatitis, the main reason is that the presence of alcohol will constantly stimulate the secretion of the pancreas, so that a large amount of pancreatic fluid is stored in the body, which will increase the pressure of the pancreatic duct and destroy the pancreatic tissue, in addition, alcohol will also cause changes in the composition of the pancreas, which affects the function of the pancreas.
Not only that, alcohol will also act directly on the pancreas, and under the action of dehydrogenase, it will be reduced to acetaldehyde, which is a substance with strong carcinogenicity, which is bound to bring toxic side effects to pancreatic cells and increase the risk of pancreatitis.
4. Cardiomyopathy
The heart is the most important part of the human body, if there is a long-term drinking habit, it will increase the probability of heart disease;
Because the presence of alcohol is easy to damage the inner wall of blood vessels, resulting in a large number of lipids accumulated in it, over time will hinder blood circulation, and the heart is the organ that transports blood, so the pressure of pumping blood will continue to increase.
5. Cancer
Relevant survey data show that the probability of oral and esophageal cancer in people who drink regularly is about three times higher than that of people who do not drink alcohol, mainly because most alcohol contains a substance called nitrosamines, which has strong carcinogenicity.
6. Lead poisoning
Lead poisoning is also a serious consequence of regular alcohol consumption, especially frequent beer drinking, which is more likely to occur.
Because the raw materials for making beer contain lead, if you drink beer regularly, the content of lead in the blood rises sharply, which will lead to lead poisoning, making patients have mental decline, especially the elderly, who are easily entangled by Alzheimer's disease.
All in all, drinking alcohol is indeed a behavior that affects physical health, especially if you drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, it is possible to increase the probability of various diseases, such as cirrhosis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, cardiomyopathy, cancer and so on mentioned above.
Therefore, in order to prevent problems before they occur, we must change the habit of drinking, and at the same time exercise, regular work and rest, and balanced diet, so as to improve the body's disease resistance and lay a good foundation for obtaining a long-lived physique.
