First, drinking will affect our physical strength.
Most people should feel weak and weak after drinking. This is because alcohol can inhibit the excitability of our nerves and even make my nerves temporarily stop working. The contractility of our muscles is closely related to the degree of nerve excitement, because the degree of nerve excitement directly determines the number of units that exercise units participate in muscle contraction, which means that the amount of muscle that we can move after drinking will decrease. In addition, in the process of alcohol digestion and metabolism, our body will discharge a lot of calcium ions, which is one of the most important ions to maintain the normal work of our muscle cells. We should have learned in high school biology class that too high calcium ion in the body will lead to muscle weakness, and too low calcium ion will lead to muscle twitching. There is a special place to store calcium in our muscle tube. If our body lacks calcium, it will directly lead to the decline of our sports ability. This is why if we drink alcohol for a long time, we will feel tired, exercise ability will drop, and even sleepiness. These will directly affect the training intensity and our fitness effect.
Second, drinking alcohol has a great influence on bone health.
As mentioned above, in the process of digesting and metabolizing alcohol, our body will discharge a lot of calcium ions. And if our body lacks calcium ions, it will directly affect the health of bones. In addition, long-term drinking may lead to lipid metabolism disorder, and fat cells in the femoral head may proliferate and hypertrophy, which may lead to a series of diseases such as bone fat cell degeneration and osteoporosis.
Third, drinking will affect our training recovery.
Many friends who drink should know that drinking will hurt the stomach. The so-called alcohol hurts the stomach, which is the gastric mucosa that hurts the stomach. If our gastric mucosa is destroyed, our body's nutrient absorption will be affected. The increase of our muscle strength and size is inseparable from the nutritional support in the body. In addition, the discharge of alcohol in the body will also burden the system in our body, directly reduce the hormone level in our body, affect our recovery after training, and then affect the fitness effect.
Fourth, drinking alcohol can easily lead to obesity.
As we all know, if you want to lose weight, you should first drink less sugary drinks, but the calories of alcohol are much higher than those of sugary drinks. One gram of alcohol can produce about 7,000 calories, while we can consume about 500 calories by jogging for an hour.
Of course, the absorption of alcohol varies from person to person and there are certain individual differences. But drinking a gram of wine makes our body absorb more calories than jogging for an hour. Besides, we can't drink dry. We usually eat and drink, and alcohol will greatly increase our appetite. Unconsciously, we will consume a lot of calories, which is beyond your imagination. As a result, it is conceivable that all excess calories will be accumulated in fat.
