Many people used to think that drinking can lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels. Later, these pseudosciences were overthrown, and drinking alcohol was harmful to health, which became a familiar common sense. Especially after The Lancet, the world's top medical magazine, published the opinion that drinking is harmful and useless a few years ago, some pseudoscience about drinking was completely overturned. But we live in real life, and it is too difficult to avoid drinking completely. Excessive drinking is harmful to health, so how to drink is healthy?

Drinking is harmful to health, and alcohol in alcohol is also a carcinogen, but too few people can avoid drinking. We live in real life, and sometimes we have to compromise, so does drinking. People in China are used to talking about things on the wine table. Drinking can improve the atmosphere and communicate feelings. It's inappropriate to avoid drinking, and it's difficult to carry out the work. When you are in love, candlelight dinner is inseparable from drinks.

If you give up drinking completely, people will live very tired, and this life will be more depressed. Drinking will have the effect of drinking. Moderate drinking can release stress and regulate mood. But when drinking, how to minimize the harm of alcohol to the body?

1 the consumption of beverages. Dietary guidelines in different countries also have different suggestions on the amount of drinks to drink. American dietary guidelines suggest that the daily alcohol intake of men should be controlled at 24 grams, and that of women should be 12 grams. The recommendation of the World Health Organization is to control the daily alcohol intake at 40 grams. Women's daily alcohol intake should be controlled below 20g.

What does China's dietary guide say? The latest edition of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents shows that the daily alcohol intake of men should not exceed 25g, and that of women should not exceed 15g.

Simply talking about alcohol intake, many people may be confused. How much is it to convert it into a drink? 25 grams of alcohol is equivalent to one half-alcohol, one half-alcohol, about 250 ml of red wine and 750 ml of beer. Pay attention to the amount you drink. If you drink heavily for a long time, diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia will come to you.

2 varieties of drinks When drinking, you will find that there are too many varieties of drinks. Different wine brands form a long wine counter in the supermarket. Among these wine varieties, there are not only traditional yellow rice wine, but also white wine and beer, and there are also many kinds of foreign wines. Among so many wine varieties, some people may ask, which wine is healthier to drink?

Besides alcohol and water, red wine also contains some polyphenols. Polyphenols are beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. There is a small amount of red wine in the Mediterranean diet plan. People who choose Mediterranean diet tend to live longer and have lower risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This may be closely related to the positive effect of red wine.

Just remind me, even red wine, you should pay attention to the amount you drink. The daily consumption of red wine should not exceed 250ml for men and 150ml for women.

Eat some staple food before drinking. China people's eating habit is to drink before eating, and after drinking, they are basically full. Many people will stop eating staple food after drinking, which will make alcohol absorbed faster in the stomach and do great harm to the body. Eating staple food before drinking can reduce the harm of alcohol to the body.

The main component of staple food is carbohydrates, and glucuronic acid produced by carbohydrates through uronic acid pathway is an important binding antidote in human body. It can be combined with alcohol in the liver to eliminate or reduce the harm of alcohol to the body. Be sure to eat staple food before drinking.

Both milk and soybean milk contain B vitamins. B vitamins have many functions, which can accelerate the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Alcohol is a pure energy substance, and 1 g alcohol can produce 7 kilocalories of energy. A cup of soybean milk or milk before drinking can not only protect gastric mucosa, but also accelerate alcohol metabolism and protect health.

5 who can't drink? Patients with hypertension, diabetes and hyperuricemia are forbidden to drink alcohol, and suffering from these diseases is also closely related to long-term excessive drinking. For example, long-term excessive drinking is the main risk factor for hypertension. After alcohol enters the human body, it will increase blood lactic acid, produce uric acid during catabolism, and inhibit the excretion of uric acid by renal tubules. All kinds of factors add up, people who drink too much for a long time will have problems with blood uric acid.

Pregnant women can't drink alcohol, which will have a bad effect on the fetus. Do not drink alcohol when taking medicine, such as taking statins and antibiotics. This may lead to a double-cavity reaction. Of course, you can't drink while driving. This is also common sense that the public is familiar with.
