As the saying goes: "Wine is in the world, the heavens and the earth are worshipped, and the ghosts and gods are things." ”
Since ancient times, wine is not simply wine.
The mainland wine culture has a long history, wine and poetry, wine and poets always have an indissoluble relationship, and in today's society, drinking is also a hobby of many people, such as friends gathering, wedding banquets are always indispensable to drink.
After the continuous development of the times, the mainland has long formed a unique set of wine culture.
However, the wine culture varies from region to region.
Northerners drink more boldly and like to drink heavily, while southerners prefer to taste carefully, and drinking has become synonymous with boldness, and has become a switch for literati and scholars to inspire.
Therefore, wine can be harmonious and different in interpersonal relationships, so it becomes an important catalyst.
Even a small amount of alcohol can be harmful to health
Some people believe that drinking less alcohol, especially some red wine, is good for the heart.
But in fact, this statement has been contradictory in the course of research, compared with people who do not drink alcohol at all, the probability of a small number of people who drink a lot of people has coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases.
As for red wine, some ingredients are indeed good for the heart, such as anthocyanins, resveratrol, tannins and other antioxidants, but these substances are pitifully small and do not play much role in health.
Therefore, drinking some red wine, its carcinogenic risks and health risks are not much different. After all, no matter how good the wine, alcohol still occupies the main ingredient, and the harm to health has not been reduced.
What are the harms of alcohol?
First, induce fatty liver and liver cancer
Alcohol needs to be metabolized through the liver after entering the human body, and when the liver consumes too much alcohol, it will damage the liver and induce fatty liver.
If you drink more than two or two liquors a day, then the risk of fatty liver will increase, after all, alcoholic fatty liver is caused by long-term alcohol consumption.
The fatty liver itself can be reversed, but if it is not treated in time, the alcoholic fatty liver will deteriorate into alcoholic cirrhosis, or even liver cancer.
Second, it leads to obesity
Alcohol contains a lot of calories, and a lot of heat entering the body will lead to the accumulation of fat in the human body, thus making the human body fat.
Obesity is easy to cause some other chronic diseases, such as three highs, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, etc., which also have a greater impact on health.
Third, brain damage
Alcohol has a paralyzing effect on the brain, at first drinking alcohol will cause excitement in the brain, but then it will have a destructive effect, drinking alcohol will slow down the transmission of information between neurotransmitters in the brain, and many parts of the brain will cause damage due to ethanol in alcohol.
Long-term damage to brain neurotransmitters can cause changes in the drinker's behavior and mood, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, memory loss, seizures, and more.
If the nutritional status of drinkers cannot keep up, cerebral edema will occur, followed by symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, hallucinations, and loss of muscle regulation.
Fourth, it triggers cancer
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has long listed alcohol as a carcinogen.
Through a wide range of population statistics, it is confirmed that alcohol will increase oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, and the more times you drink alcohol, the higher the risk of cancer.
Of course, some people will say: xxxx drinks every day, and don't see them with cancer?
In fact, cancer itself is a disease caused by a variety of factors, and certain lifestyle habits and diet are not necessarily decisive.
Specific to a person, eating foods that increase the risk of cancer does not mean that he will definitely get cancer immediately, such a survey is to count a large number of people's data, and then secrete the relationship between alcohol and cancer.
But it is worth affirming that people who drink alcohol all year round have a much higher chance of cancer than they do not drink alcohol.
The wine culture of the mainland has a long history, from ancient times to the present, wine has been loved by many people.
Whether it's a business conversation or a party, there's always wine on the table. There are even people who drink every day and like to compare their alcohol with their friends...
However, it is still not recommended that everyone drink too much alcohol here, and it is not recommended that everyone drink alcohol every day for various reasons.
After all, excessive drinking is easy to hurt the body, occasionally drink or drink some appropriately because of business matters, but if it is only because of the preference for unscrupulous drinking, it is irresponsible for yourself and your family.
So don't take your body for a moment of pleasure.
