Take red wine as an example, in particular, to tell you that red wine contains resveratrol, anthocyanins and other active ingredients, so it is very beneficial to drink it in a small amount.
Is it exciting, but think about it. Since there are so many benefits, why don't all medical institutions recommend red wine to everyone?
In fact, alcohol and cigarettes are classified as a carcinogen. The American Society of Clinical Oncology has clearly pointed out that alcohol is one of the important carcinogens. One in every 65,438+08 cancer patients drinks alcohol.
Drinking alcohol is related to cancers such as liver cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer and esophageal cancer, and alcohol is more harmful to women. In the United States, about 65,438+06.4% of women with breast cancer are inseparable from drinking.
Some people may ask, is it because you drink too much that you hurt yourself? Isn't drinking unhealthy?
Experts deny that even a sip of wine will be harmful to health. So far, studies have only found that moderate drinking is only beneficial to some patients with cardiovascular diseases, and this benefit is still minimal. Cardiovascular disease is not the only factor that harms health. Diseases of body, liver, endocrine, digestive system and other organs and tissues will damage health.
Moreover, the study also found that no matter how much wine you drink, even a drop is harmful to your health. Compared with the harm that drinking brings to the body, that little benefit is nothing at all.
This safe level of drinking in small quantities simply does not exist. No matter how much you drink, what kind of wine you drink and what form you drink, it is useless. There is only one safe dose of drinking, and that is not drinking.
It is true that wine is the essence of food. Wine is made from grain and has a high calorie. The wine you drink will be converted into fat and stored in your body, which will greatly increase your appetite and eat more, so most people who drink regularly will get fat.
People who advocate drinking in small quantities may eventually become dependent on alcohol, because they often drink in small quantities and will not feel any problems at first. In the end, they will become addicted to alcohol without a sip of wine every day.
So if you have to drink or can't give up for a while, how can you minimize the harm of drinking?
How to reduce the harm of drinking to the body? 1, don't drink on an empty stomach.
You'd better pad your stomach and eat something before drinking. Your stomach is not empty. It would be better if there is fatty food at the bottom, which can reduce the stimulation of alcohol on the stomach wall, reduce the alcohol concentration and delay the body's absorption of alcohol.
2. Sip slowly and don't mix wine.
It is best to choose low-alcohol wine to drink, and drink it slowly in small sips to avoid drinking it all at once, which is very harmful to the stomach. Don't mix different kinds, degrees and brands of wine, which will increase the burden on the liver.
3, remember the upper limit of drinking every day, don't exceed the standard.
If you drink white wine, drink no more than 2 ounces of low-alcohol wine and no more than 1 ounce of moderate wine every day. If you drink wine, drink no more than 5 ounces of low-alcohol wine and no more than 3 ounces of high-alcohol wine every day. If you drink beer, don't exceed 2 cans a day. And female friends drink less.
4. Pay attention to the hangover after drinking.
If you have to drink because of entertainment, you'd better remember to sober up after drinking.
In short, when drinking, it is estimated that few people can do it in moderation. Once you drink it, who will pay attention to the quantity? Therefore, it is best not to drink if you can. If you really want to drink, you should pay attention to the ways and means to minimize the harm of drinking.
