People who practice kung fu can't drink a lot!
In cold weather, people often drink a few glasses of wine to warm themselves up, thinking that drinking can keep out the cold. Generally speaking, drinking can speed up breathing, dilate blood vessels, speed up blood circulation, increase calorie consumption and make people feel warm. At the same time, alcohol contains alcohol, which causes short-term nerve excitement and slight vibration of oral cavity and throat mucosa. This makes the whole body feel warm and comfortable. In fact, this is a precursor to the central disorder of regulating body temperature. Especially if you drink too much wine, it will cause the disorder of body temperature regulation and increase the loss of heat. At this time, the stomach is anesthetized by alcohol, and its function is obviously reduced, and the heat-producing function of the human body is weakened. Keeping out the cold means eating nutritious food and increasing calories; The second is to strengthen warmth. If you simply rely on drinking to keep out the cold, you will not be cold-resistant. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink alcohol to keep out the cold.
Drinking a lot will cause the following disadvantages.
1. Death: Alcohol can inhibit the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata, causing respiratory arrest, and the drop of blood sugar may also be a fatal factor.
2. Malabsorption syndrome causes various vitamin deficiencies, which indirectly leads to various nervous system injuries.
The influence of long-term heavy drinking
1. Liver injury: fatty liver caused by accumulation of liver fat.
2. Gastric ulcer: It can cause gastric bleeding and endanger life.
3. Nervous system damage: such as peripheral neuropathy.
4. Cerebral cortex atrophy: It is reported that some chronic alcoholics have cerebral cortex atrophy, and some patients have signs of mental decline.
5. Alcohol fetal syndrome group: the metabolism and excretion of alcohol in the fetus are slow, which causes various injuries to the developing fetus, including fetal malformation, stillbirth, growth retardation and behavioral defects.
The influence of alcoholism on family life
1. Emotional excitability, temper tantrums, poor judgment control, easy to conflict with people, sensitive to external stimuli, and high crime rate.
2. Spouses and children are often the targets of violence.
3. Mental trance affects work efficiency.
4. The alienation of relatives and friends makes alcoholics suffer more frustration and pressure and become more self-destructive.
Alcohol has different effects on different people. Most people think that alcohol is a stimulant, however, from a medical point of view, alcohol is a sedative: it will slow down your reaction time and confuse your ability to judge exercise and distance. Even drunk, even walking and talking is a problem.
It is important to know that alcohol is a drug and addictive. The more you drink, the more you want to drink, and the more you need to drink to get instant pleasure and happiness from wine. However, this is a vicious circle; Because after drinking it, you will have a hangover and a bad headache. The main reason is dehydration: alcohol allows water to leave your body cells and enter the blood and urine.
Not only that, after a few years, alcohol will lead to cirrhosis, and some results will be like brain injury, stomach disease, vitamin deficiency, hypertension, depression and so on. It is very dangerous for pregnant women to drink alcohol. Even if the mother's blood contains a small amount of alcohol, it may lead to mental retardation or other birth defects.
The social cost of alcoholism is staggering. Alcohol has caused the loss of millions of working days, which is directly related to many industrial accidents and is usually a factor of suicide. The victims of alcohol are often other innocent people, not the drinkers themselves. For example, drunk driving shows indifference to human life, not only to the driver and his passengers, but also to the lives of innocent people.
Drinking will dull children's thinking.
Dr. Chen from Shanghai Children's Hospital once met a 9-year-old "Brewmaster". As long as someone invites him to drink, he will eat whatever wine is served, which is quite a bit like "a thousand cups are not drunk". It turns out that when friends and relatives get together, parents ask them to propose a toast or accompany adults to drink for fun. Later, the child gradually became addicted to alcohol and was finally taken to the hospital because of frequent headaches.
According to reports, alcohol is mainly detoxified by the liver, and the final metabolites are carbon dioxide and water, which cannot provide any nutrition to the body. Excessive drinking will cause liver and kidney damage and affect brain cell metabolism. The child is in the stage of growth and development, and the functions of various organs are still not perfect. At this time, drinking is more harmful to the body. Someone has done experiments. Even if children drink a small amount of wine, their attention and memory will decline, and their thinking speed will become slow, which will seriously affect their intellectual development. In addition, children's ability to detoxify alcohol metabolism is low, and children who drink too much will have headaches, even coma and even death. Parents must pay attention to this.
Drinking is not only harmful to the liver, but also to the whole body.
People always mistakenly think that drinking will only hurt the liver and not other parts. In this regard, Professor Kai Keung Lai, deputy director of the Department of Gastroenterology, Shanghai Renji Hospital, pointed out that excessive drinking will endanger the health of the whole body. Generally, there will be the following symptoms: increased heart rate, warmer skin, dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness, failure of nervous system command, and a series of adverse consequences. Clinically, there are quite a few people who died suddenly because of alcoholism.
Professor Li said that many people think that a small amount of alcohol stimulation can make people concentrate, but the actual result is not the case. A small amount of alcohol only has some sedative effect, while a large amount of alcohol will seriously damage memory and attention. Drinking too much will cause slurred speech, blurred vision and loss of balance; For the liver, long-term heavy drinking will almost inevitably lead to cirrhosis or acute pancreatitis; From the aspect of skin, alcohol is a vasodilator, which can dilate blood vessels on the body surface, cause excessive heat dissipation of body tissues, lead to cold body and lower body temperature in cold weather; People who drink a lot of alcohol will also get cardiomyopathy, and even lead to severe gastritis and gastric bleeding, which will do great harm to the human body and add hidden dangers to the safety of the public.
Wine should not be eaten with carrot soda.
Professor Li reminded that people must drink alcohol in moderation when eating and drinking, not to drink high-alcohol liquor, and not to eat wine and carrots together. Because carrots are rich in beta carotene, when they enter the human body with alcohol, they will produce toxins in the liver, leading to liver diseases. Also be careful not to drink on an empty stomach. Because drinking on an empty stomach directly stimulates the gastric mucosa, it is easy to lead to gastritis, gastric bleeding, digestive tract ulcers and other diseases, and chronic alcoholism will occur for a long time. Finally, avoid drinking white wine with soda. Because after drinking liquor and soda together, alcohol will volatilize rapidly in people's whole body, accompanied by a lot of carbon dioxide, which is harmful to stomach, intestine, liver, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Occasionally moderate drinking may help you sleep, but long-term or excessive drinking can cause insomnia. Moreover, long-term heavy drinking will increase the body's tolerance to ethanol, and it is necessary to continuously increase the amount of drinking to achieve short-term hypnotic effect, followed by more serious insomnia. Drinking alcohol before going to bed will obviously aggravate sleep snoring and apnea, and drinking alcohol will also cause apnea in non-snorers and non-apnea. Therefore, abstinence from alcohol is one of the positive measures that patients with sleep apnea should take.
One. For alcoholics, at least limit the amount of alcohol they drink, or drink only a small amount of beer, and ensure that they don't drink for 4 to 6 hours before going to bed.
Alcohol in wine enters the body, mainly in liver metabolism and detoxification. After years of heavy drinking, the burden on the liver increased. Once the function declines, the metabolism of nutrients is abnormal and the blood fat content increases. Small fat droplets will block the small blood vessels supplying nutrition to the femoral head, resulting in ischemic necrosis of the femoral head and rough and dull surface. Further development, the femoral head can be crushed, flattened, shrunk or even disappeared. Hip pain is aggravated when patients stand and walk, and eventually limping and dyskinesia may occur, which seriously affects the quality of work and life.
Of course, the damage of alcohol to bones has a process and degree, and it doesn't appear as soon as you get drunk. It's hard to say to what extent it will appear, because it is related to the amount and time of drinking, the metabolic function of each liver and the adaptability of femoral head blood vessels, which varies from person to person. In short, in the liver metabolism, wine can promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, which is harmless or even beneficial to bones. If it exceeds the metabolism of the liver, it will hurt the bone. Long-term drinkers should try to find the symptoms of the disease as soon as possible when alcohol cannot be completely banned. If there is persistent hip pain, it will get worse gradually, or it will get worse after drinking, you should think of the possibility of early avascular necrosis of femoral head, stop drinking immediately and go to the hospital for examination.
Harm of drinking to health ...
In addition to the immediate impact of one-time excessive drinking (commonly known as drunkenness), repeated heavy drinking will also cause a variety of serious long-term diseases. We summarize the effects of drinking on various organs of the human body as follows.
cerebrum
A small amount of alcohol can make people feel excited, alert and focused, but the actual results show that this is not the case. Drinking a small amount of alcohol has a sedative effect, while drinking more alcohol has serious harm to memory, attention, judgment, function of municipalities directly under the central government and emotional response. Drinking too much can lead to slurred speech, blurred vision and loss of balance.
liver
Long-term heavy drinking will inevitably lead to cirrhosis. The diseased liver can no longer handle nutrients from the digestive tract and drugs ingested by the human body. There are many symptoms of cirrhosis, and they are diffuse. These symptoms include edema (fluid stagnation, bloating) and stomach jaundice (yellow skin and white eyes).
skin
Alcohol is a vasodilator, which can dilate blood vessels on the body surface. In addition to making you look flushed, it will also make your body tissues radiate heat excessively, which will cause you to be cold (hypothermia) in cold weather.
heart
People who drink a lot will develop cardiomyopathy, which means that the muscle tissue of the heart becomes weak and damaged.
stomach
Drinking a lot at a time will make you feel uncomfortable with acute gastritis, and drinking a lot continuously will lead to more serious chronic gastritis.
sex organ
Alcohol can cause impotence in men. For pregnant women, even a small amount of alcohol will increase the risk of physical defects of unborn babies.
