But can drinking two or two glasses of wine every day really make people live longer and healthier?
The research of The Lancet magazine makes people "astonish"
Many people have interviewed centenarians in pursuit of longevity, and the secret of longevity may be different. Some centenarians will say that they have some small habits, such as drinking a little wine every day. Seeing this, they equate drinking with longevity. After all, you see, these people are really long-lived old people, and they do have the habit of drinking.
People take it for granted that people can also get the benefits of longevity after drinking. And moved out of the saying of "drinking and having fun" and persuaded his family to let him continue drinking. But you know what? Drinking a little wine is helpful to the "survivor bias" of longevity
According to the research data of The Lancet magazine, drinking alcohol is one of the main risks leading to illness and premature death among1people aged from 5 to 49. About 10% of the death risk is caused by alcohol. About 700,000 new cancer patients in China have the bad habit of drinking for a long time every year.
And these people who drink "health" and live a long life only account for a very small proportion. The real "army" has been sick or died because of drinking.
For the human body, drinking a little wine for a long time is more harmful than drinking too much.
Many people say that they have a good capacity for drinking, and drinking a little wine every day has little feeling. Compared with some of their friends who get drunk as soon as they drink, it should not be easy to hurt themselves. But I can tell you clearly here that drinking a little wine or getting drunk will do harm to your health, and even drinking a little wine for a long time is more harmful to your health than getting drunk occasionally.
This should start with the influence of alcohol entering the human body.
After alcohol enters the human body, it will first stimulate the esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa, bringing a burning sensation. Then divided into several different "teams", infiltrated into blood vessels, participated in the circulation in the human body, and flowed into many organs such as liver, kidney and brain. It brings great burden to liver metabolism and kidney metabolism.
And the brain, heart, etc. Will be constantly excited because of the stimulation of alcohol, which may be manifested as a rapid heartbeat, a high degree of excitement in the brain, and a lack of words. If you lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase that metabolizes alcohol, you may also have acetaldehyde accumulation, which may induce blushing and dizziness.
It takes about 1-2 days for the human body to completely metabolize the ingested alcohol, which cannot guarantee to eliminate the damage of alcohol to cell DNA. Occasionally getting drunk may bring acute harm to the body, but as long as you give up drinking and stay away from alcohol, it is expected to gradually repair and restore your original health.
Drinking a small amount of alcohol for a long time is different. The body is constantly stimulated by alcohol, which is more likely to induce pathological changes in cells in the body, and the risk of inducing cancer will also increase. Not only that, drinking is addictive. At first, maybe you just want to drink two or two glasses of wine every day to relieve your hunger. After a long time, you become dependent on alcohol, and you will find that if you stop drinking one day, you will feel uncomfortable.
It seems that a small amount of drinking can make people happy and help them live longer. In fact, people who drink for a long time will only get hurt.
Drinking and having fun is actually a sharp weapon to harm your health, and you will suffer everywhere.
First, stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa.
People who like drinking may be the stimulation of alcohol on gastrointestinal mucosa. It is more prone to diseases such as gastric ulcer, gastritis and duodenal ulcer. If you have stomach trouble yourself, it may also increase the risk of gastric mucosal damage and induce gastric cancer.
Secondly, the liver injury is not light.
The liver needs to constantly metabolize alcohol and decompose ethanol and acetaldehyde in alcohol. Liver cells can also cause serious damage due to acetaldehyde, and even induce alcoholic hepatitis.
Also, alcohol can damage the brain.
Brain cells are also stimulated by alcohol, which is more likely to bring nerve excitement. People will have a headache and dizziness after drinking, which is also the sequela of drinking.
Finally, blood vessels.
Blood vessels will dilate abnormally after drinking, and blood pressure will drop about 4 hours after drinking. However, with the continuous metabolic decomposition of alcohol, blood vessels will rebound, leading to an increase in blood pressure, which is likely to bring greater burden to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases invisibly, and may also induce acute cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
Generally speaking, two or two glasses of wine a day can't make people live longer, but it is a weapon that hurts the body. Drinking a little wine every day actually gives alcohol a chance to harm your health. The best way to better protect your health is to stay away from alcohol.
