1, relieving stomach cold and abdominal pain
Materials: 50~ 100g white wine and 50g brown sugar.
Usage: Boil white wine in a small pot, add brown sugar, stir, melt and turn off the fire. Pour it into a small bowl, cool it slightly and drink it while it is hot. It is effective for abdominal pain caused by stomach cold and diarrhea caused by stomach cold.
As long as everyone who has drunk wine has experienced it, the wine will feel warm. Alcoholic fever can dispel stomach cold and promote blood circulation. Because wine can promote blood circulation, the absorption speed of wine is the fastest. Brown sugar can also drive away cold and warm stomach, replenish blood and qi, and replenish energy for people with stomachache and indigestion.
How much wine you drink depends on your capacity for liquor. Drink it once a day, and even chronic diarrhea with deficiency-cold lasting for several years can be cured. It is best to drink in the morning. Some people like to drink at night, thinking that drinking can hypnotize. Actually, drinking in the morning is more beneficial. The temperature is the lowest in the morning and the body is the coldest. Drinking wine can just drive away the cold. Wine helps yang, and drinking some wine in the morning helps the growth of yang. At night, the yang will converge, and drinking will disturb the yang, and the alcohol metabolism rate is slow at night, and drinking at night is more harmful to the liver.
Note: This method is not applicable to patients with alcoholic hepatitis and patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency.
2. the benefits of drinking
(1) Moderate drinking can dredge meridians, eliminate cold accumulation and strengthen spleen and stomach. Drinking a small amount of "rice wine" before meals can stimulate the taste and increase the secretion of digestive juice (including saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, etc.). ), increase appetite, and have the effect of dispelling wind and strengthening stomach.
(2) Wine has an exciting effect on the nervous system, which can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. After alcohol enters the blood, it can dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, so it can strengthen blood circulation and promote metabolism. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, wine can promote blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis and promote blood circulation, and dispel wind and cold.
(3) Drinking a small amount of alcohol can increase the content of "good cholesterol", so it can prevent atherosclerosis, and then prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, a small amount of alcohol can also reduce platelet aggregation and promote fibrinolysis, thus reducing thrombosis.
(4) It is suggested that wine, especially red wine, contains more antioxidants, such as catechins, flavonoids, vitamin C, trace elements such as selenium, zinc and manganese, which can scavenge oxygen free radicals and have anti-aging effects.
3, the harm of drinking
Drinking (1) alcohol will directly stimulate and damage the digestive system, which can cause oral mucositis, pharyngitis, esophagitis, gastritis, especially gastric mucosa. The higher the alcohol content, the more obvious the stimulation. Alcohol is fat-soluble, which can destroy the mucosal defense system, make the gastric mucosa vulnerable to gastric acid and bile, and then cause mucosal edema, erosion, and even bleeding and necrosis.
(2) Chronic alcoholism, manifested in the nervous system as memory loss, disorientation, muscle tremor, hallucinations, etc.
(3) Alcohol is closely related to liver disease. Alcoholic liver disease can be divided into alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic cirrhosis. The latter is developed from the former, and one is more serious than the other. Foreign data show that alcoholic fatty liver can occur every day 1.50 g, and alcoholic cirrhosis can occur every year/kloc-0.
(4) Alcohol can also damage the heart and cause arrhythmia. Alcoholism can also cause peripheral blood vessels to dilate, blood pressure to drop, so that coronary artery blood supply is insufficient. Coupled with the emotional excitement of alcoholism, myocardial oxygen consumption increases, which is easy for people with coronary heart disease to promote angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.
(5) Alcohol is closely related to cancer. Its metabolite is acetaldehyde, which has been proved to be carcinogenic. Some patients with primary liver cancer are caused by heavy drinking. Liver cancer is called "the king of cancer", and the treatment effect is very poor. Excessive drinking can also cause oral cancer, throat cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and so on.
(6) Pregnant women's drinking has a great influence on the fetus. Babies born to alcohol pregnant women are not only underweight, but also suffer from "fetal alcohol syndrome", which is characterized by poor growth, ugly appearance, mental retardation, slow response and clumsy movements. Some also have limbs and cardiovascular malformations.
(7) In addition, alcohol can also cause osteoporosis, optic neuritis, retinitis, vitreous opacity, alcoholic amblyopia and other diseases.
