As long as you don't drink too much and choose the right partner, wine is also a good medicine for health.
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, wine has been a special medicine since ancient times. Pungent, sweet, bitter, wet and hot, it has the effect of inducing medicine to ascend to heaven and invigorating the spirit. "Compendium of Materia Medica" concludes: "Wine is the beauty of heaven, drinking less will promote blood circulation, strengthen the spirit to keep out the cold and get rid of troubles; If you drink too much, you will be sad and bloody, hurting your stomach and killing sperm, causing phlegm fire. "
Drinking four kinds of wine like this becomes a health care medicine.
Yellow rice wine This is one of the oldest wines in China. Has effects in nourishing stomach, invigorating spleen, promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain. Suitable for people who are afraid of cold in winter and have cold limbs. Yellow rice wine is best scalded with boiling water or heated with fire before drinking, with some light, delicious and chewy snacks, such as fennel beans and dried tofu. If you add some ginger slices and drink them after cooking, the effect of promoting blood circulation and dispelling cold, nourishing stomach and strengthening spleen will be stronger.
Liquor. Also known as shochu, it can dispel wind and cold, relax muscles and promote blood circulation. A small amount of liquor can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, which is helpful for strengthening stomach and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and calming sleep. However, due to the high degree, it is not suitable for drinking on an empty stomach, nor is it allowed to drink too much. Luzhou-flavor liquor is suitable for cold dishes with light taste, and Luzhou-flavor liquor can be used for spicy dishes with heavy taste.
Wine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that wine can "warm the waist and kidneys, keep color and keep out the cold", and red wine is also a good health care product for westerners. Pay attention to "white with white, red with red" when drinking. White wine is suitable for light and delicious foods such as seafood, while red wine can be matched with chewy beef.
Beer. Beer is the favorite of many young people. Proper drinking can help digestion, stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen. Its alcohol content is not high, and it is suitable for eating with crispy appetizers and halogen products. However, beer is not suitable for gout patients, and it is nutritious and easy to absorb, and it is easy to cause fat accumulation when drunk in large quantities.
Precautions for drinking in summer:
Drink both red wine and white wine in moderation.
Perhaps many people think that drinking white wine is harmful to health, and drinking wine is good for health. It doesn't matter if you drink too much. In fact, whether it is red wine or white wine, the key is to control the amount of good drink. Men's weekly alcohol intake is less than140g, and women's is less than 70g. If it exceeds this number, there is a risk of alcoholic liver disease. 140 grams of alcohol is equivalent to 3-4 ounces of 50-degree liquor, that is to say, adult men should not drink more than 3-4 ounces of 50-degree liquor every week, while red wine should be controlled at one or two ounces every day.
There is no saying that drinking with a red face is not easy to get drunk.
"People who blush when drinking are not easy to get drunk", which is often used as a reason to persuade people to drink at banquets. But actually, drunkenness has little to do with face. Some people think that blushing after drinking shows that blood circulation is good, alcohol decomposes quickly and it is not easy to get drunk. However, Sheng Kaiyuan suggested that drinking has little to do with facial expressions, which varies from person to person. In fact, many people think that people who blush after drinking are not easy to get drunk because people who blush generally don't give up drinking, so they drink less. In addition, they will feel sleepy after drinking, and they will be full of energy after sleeping for 15-30 minutes, while people with white faces often don't know their bottom line and drink too much in high excitement.
Don't drink strong tea or coffee when you are drunk.
After drinking strong tea, caffeine in tea can quickly play a diuretic role, prompting acetaldehyde (a substance that has a great stimulating effect on the kidney) that has not yet been decomposed into acetic acid to enter the kidney prematurely and damage the kidney. The main component of coffee is caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and muscles. Drinking coffee after drinking will turn the brain from extreme depression to extreme excitement, stimulate vasodilation, accelerate blood circulation, greatly increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, and cause several times as much harm to the human body as drinking alone, and even induce hypertension.
Precautions for drinking in summer:
The temperature of wine should not be too low.
Beer stored in the refrigerator should be controlled at 5- 10℃, because the solubility of carbon dioxide in beer varies with temperature, and various components of beer can be coordinated and balanced within this temperature range to form the best taste.
Beer with too low a temperature is not only unpalatable, but also causes protein in liquor to decompose and dissociate, and the nutrients are destroyed.
Bottles should not be tied.
In recent years, beer explosion accidents in bundled or non-B-standard glass bottles have occurred from time to time, and some consumers have tied bottles with ropes after buying beer and collided on their way home. There is a certain air pressure in the bottle of intact beer, and the pressure in the bottle will increase with the high ambient temperature. Therefore, you should pay special attention to "explosion-proof" when buying beer on a hot day. Don't buy foreign-made beer with nonstandard label and logo, or with bundled packaging and glass bottles without B label.
Excessive drinking is not advisable.
Beer has low alcohol content and rich nutrition. Some citizens drank beer on a hot day and drank four or five bottles in a row. A lot of water they drink will be discharged quickly, but alcohol will be absorbed quickly, which will increase the amount of blood lead in the blood.
If you overdo it every day all summer, it will inhibit and affect the normal vitality of cells, and may also lead to fat accumulation, hinder the synthesis of ribonucleic acid, and produce "beer heart" and "general belly", thus affecting the normal function of the heart.
The capacity of a large bottle of beer is generally 640 ml, and it is recommended that the daily consumption should not exceed 1000 ml.
Smoked fish is not suitable.
There is a very important common sense that when drinking a lot of beer, the dishes should not include smoked food such as smoked fish and bacon.
Because smoked food contains organic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, amino acid derivatives and even benzopyrene will be produced during cooking. When excessive drinking increases the blood lead content, the combination of the above substances in smoked food can induce digestive tract diseases and even tumors. On a hot day, due to the large amount of beer, the probability of inducing diseases is often high.
Taboos for drinking beer
Avoid drinking beer after strenuous exercise.
In hot summer, some people like to go to the gym or the stadium to sweat. After strenuous exercise, they are thirsty and often drink beer, which is very pleasant. But in fact, gout may often be caused. Scientists have found that drinking beer will increase the concentration of uric acid in the blood after strenuous exercise. When uric acid excretion fails, it will precipitate in human joints, and too much urea in the body will cause arthritis and gout.
Beer should not be mixed with white wine.
On the wine table in summer, many people often feel that drinking beer is not enough, so they will mix beer with white wine and push the atmosphere on the wine table to a climax. But in fact, beer is a low-alcohol beverage, which contains carbon dioxide and a lot of water. If mixed with Chinese liquor, it will only aggravate the penetration of alcohol in the whole body, produce strong stimulation to organs such as liver, stomach, intestine and kidney, affect the production of digestive enzymes, reduce gastric acid secretion, lead to stomach cramps, acute gastroenteritis and other diseases, and make people more likely to get drunk.
Avoid improper side dishes when drinking beer.
Some people like to eat fish and meat when drinking beer, which not only affects digestion, but also reduces foam and loses the nutrition of beer. Beer should not be served with meat, greasy food and bittersweet food, but with fried food rich in protein and other crispy foods.
Avoid drinking cold beer before meals.
In summer, many people will drink too much cold beer before meals, which will easily lead to a sudden drop in gastrointestinal temperature, rapid contraction of blood vessels and reduced blood flow, thus causing physiological dysfunction.
At the same time, it will lead to digestive dysfunction and easily induce various intestinal diseases such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Fat people avoid drinking beer often.
A can of beer (350ml) contains about 143 calories, which is equivalent to a bowl of 7-minute full rice, but two-thirds of the calories come from alcohol, which has become the energy source. In other words, beer does not contain high fat that makes people fat, but it can promote the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite. Therefore, when drinking, most people will eat a lot of dishes with high calories, which will increase the absorption of fat, lead to the accumulation of fat in the body, make the body fat, and appear "beer belly", while fat people who drink more and often will be fatter.
Avoid drinking beer on an empty stomach.
Beer is called "liquid bread", so many people think drinking beer can make them hungry. Especially in summer, because of the hot weather, many people like to drink beer on an empty stomach, but in fact, the harm of drinking on an empty stomach is still quite great. Because if there is no food in the stomach, wine will directly stimulate and erode the gastric mucosa and muscularis, destroy gastric acid, inhibit the secretion of various digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, and easily cause nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and bloating, loss of appetite, indigestion and constipation. At the same time, drinking on an empty stomach will make people more likely to get drunk, which will have a great impact on the brain, nerves, muscles, heart, liver, kidneys and other organs and tissues, and may lead to dizziness, tinnitus, listlessness and fatigue.
