In daily social activities and family gatherings, there seems to be a lack of artistic conception without wine. China is the hometown of wine and the birthplace of wine culture. Brewing has a long history in China. There is no problem in drinking a small amount, but excessive drinking will bring unexpected harm to the body and even induce alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Especially for men, if the following four symptoms appear when drinking, they need to stop drinking immediately.
What symptoms can short-lived men have when drinking?
1, abdominal pain
The main component of wine is ethanol, which is a strong irritant and will affect the health of digestive system. Excessive drinking at one time can cause acute gastric mucosal lesions, long-term alcoholism can induce gastric ulcer or gastritis, and in severe cases, it can lead to gastric cancer. Alcoholism can also damage the fragile pancreas, cause acute or chronic pancreatitis, and even lead to pancreatic cancer, causing abdominal pain.
2. jaundice and abdominal distension
90% alcohol is metabolized and detoxified in the liver. Alcohol and its metabolites can directly act on hepatocytes, causing degeneration or necrosis of hepatocytes. Long-term alcoholism can lead to alcoholic cirrhosis or liver cancer. Alcoholic cirrhosis can lead to ascites, which in turn leads to abdominal distension. Due to the damage of liver function, the bilirubin content in the blood increases, resulting in yellowing of the white part of the eye and the skin.
3, chest tightness and chest pain
Although alcohol will not directly damage the heart, acetaldehyde, the intermediate metabolite and final product of alcohol, will damage myocardial cells and cause alcoholic cardiomyopathy. In addition, long-term heavy drinking will also make the body lack vitamins and aggravate heart damage.
4. Headache and dizziness
Acute cerebrovascular accidents are prone to occur after drinking alcohol, because alcohol can damage cerebrovascular diseases. Long-term heavy drinking will cause atherosclerosis, increase vascular fragility, and then induce cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage.
How to reduce alcohol damage by drinking?
1, eat first and then drink.
Before drinking, you can eat some fruits and vegetables containing pectin such as pumpkins and apples. You can also choose foods containing B vitamins and starch, such as miscellaneous grains porridge and whole wheat bread. Soymilk, milk and other beverages containing protein are also good choices, which can reduce the irritation to the stomach wall. At the same time, it will mix alcohol with food, reduce alcohol concentration, delay the absorption of alcohol, and ingest nutrients needed for alcohol metabolism.
Step 2 choose low-alcohol wine
High alcohol is more harmful to the liver and stomach, so we must control the drinking speed and drink slowly.
3, all kinds of wine can not be mixed to drink.
Drinking a variety of wines together will make people drink too much, and at the same time, it will have a synergistic effect, leading to poisoning symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, which will bring unexpected harm to the body.
4, eat more foods that help hangover.
Usually, you can eat more foods that help hangover, such as bananas, tomatoes or eggs. Drinking more warm water can promote the excretion of alcohol from urine, thus reducing the burden on the liver and stomach. In addition, white wine and yellow wine should be drunk as warm as possible, because the organic compounds such as methanol and aldehydes contained in them can volatilize with the increase of temperature during blanching, thus reducing the concentration of wine and reducing the damage to the liver.
skill
Because the mortality and morbidity of various diseases caused by alcohol are much higher than those caused by smoking, there is no safe value for drinking, and the safest drinking amount is 0, so it is necessary to avoid drinking. Especially when the above four symptoms appear, you should refuse all alcoholic drinks.
