So what are the dangers of regular drinking on the body?
1, alcoholic liver disease
Periods of drinking can lead to liver damage. Excessive drinking increases the burden on the liver, leading to diseases such as steatosis, fibrosis, and even cirrhosis.
Only 10% of alcohol is excreted through sweat and breathing, the rest needs to be metabolized by your liver, and long-term drinking leads to an increased burden on the liver, which slowly forms an alcoholic liver. At the same time, alcohol affects the regenerative function and self-repair function of liver cells, which leads to necrosis or other pathological changes in liver cells, followed by liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis will occur over time. Alcohol and cirrhosis are associated with the development of liver cancer.
2, alcohol damage to the brain
The United States, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers tracked 36,000 adults found that drinking and brain capacity has a certain relationship, the more you drink the more damage to the human brain, and vice versa for the brain damage is small.
Alcohol causes cerebral vasoconstriction, blood flow is reduced, so that the cerebral cortex hypoxia, mental retardation, inattention, memory and judgment decline, thinking disorders, and become depressed, and some people can occur hallucinations, hands, tongue, the whole body obvious tremor.
Alcohol is also a kind of pro-neurological substances, the nerve has a toxic effect, can directly kill the brain cells, so that the dissolution, demise, reduce. Long-term drinkers' brain cells will die faster and faster, and brain atrophy will become more and more serious.
3, alcohol cancer
Alcohol drink into the body, the liver to first through the enzyme ethanol dehydrogenase will be broken down into alcohol acetaldehyde; and then through the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde will be broken down into acetic acid. Acetic acid will not harm the body, but acetaldehyde will soon follow the cell membranes damaged by alcohol and easily enter the cell interior. It destroys genes in the nucleus of the cell, which in turn leaves a permanent pitfall - cancer.
There is already enough evidence to show that drinking alcohol increases the risk of five types of cancer: oropharyngeal, esophageal, liver, bowel and breast!
4, long-term drinking will make people fat
Some studies have shown that drinking alcohol stimulates the brain and puts the brain into hunger mode. Alcohol does stimulate AGRP neuron activity after drinking, i.e., it stimulates brain activity, which causes the brain to mistake hunger for hunger, leading to an increase in eating. And after drinking alcohol, lipolysis is hindered, slowing down the decomposition rate, so a lot of fat is retained in the body, and finally lead to the production of "beer belly".
5,Causes cardiovascular disease
Drinking alcohol on the cardiovascular harm is very big, long-term drinking patients will appear in the endothelial cells of the blood vessels are damaged, and the gradual formation of atherosclerotic plaques, caused by vascular sclerosis, elasticity decreased, brittleness aggravation, so that the blood pressure will be elevated at the same time will be To the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular burden to varying degrees, over time there will be plaque rupture, bleeding, triggering lumen narrowing, increased resistance to blood flow, but also aggravate the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular load. Long-term drinking patients will have increased blood viscosity, increased blood lipids, which will increase the resistance to blood flow, further aggravating the harm of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
6, reduce immune system function
Alcohol will interfere with the normal function of the immune system, so that the number of white blood cells decreased, thus weakening the body's resistance to viruses and bacteria. In addition, alcohol destroys probiotics in the gut, causing an imbalance in gut microbes and affecting immunity.
Research has shown that long-term heavy drinking can lead to liver damage, affecting the liver's ability to clear bacteria and viruses, thus reducing immunity. Alcohol consumption also leads to decreased sleep quality, affecting the important regulatory role of sleep on the immune system and further weakening immunity. This is especially true for people who drink large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time, causing the development of a number of related diseases.
If you want to quit drinking, here are some practical ways:
①Strong awareness of quitting: If you want to quit drinking effectively, you need to have the awareness of quitting drinking first. If you are forced to quit drinking, it is easier to give up after a period of time. This is why it is so important for people who want to stop drinking to be aware of the need to do so.
②After the awareness of alcohol, do not blindly quit, should go to the hospital for alcohol stereotypes:
The alcohol is not like gambling, as long as long as you don't touch it, you can slowly get used to it. Because drinking alcohol can cause damage to the body, so for those who want to quit drinking, you need to carry out alcohol dependence testing, mainly divided into: mild dependence, moderate dependence, heavy dependence three symptoms, and then according to the different symptoms of the targeted quit drinking.
③The idea of telling your family and friends to stop drinking: For people who have been drinking for a long time, it may not be difficult to stop drinking for a day or two. But it is still difficult to make you drink for a long time. So when you are ready to quit drinking, you should tell your family and friends about the idea so that you can play a monitoring role.
4Don't give up if you can't stop drinking alone: For longtime drinkers, it's difficult to stop drinking all of a sudden, so don't give up. You can go to the hospital to seek the help of the doctor, you can reduce the patient's strong desire for alcohol through the drug, to remove the accumulation of alcohol in the body.
