Alcohol is a high-calorie drink. Although alcohol is a liquid, it has a high calorie. 1g contains 3.5 kilocalories, and fat 1g contains 4 kilocalories, which can be said to be comparable to fat. Most alcoholic beverages are brewed from grains, which do contain minerals and trace elements, but alcohol is the only substance that can enter the blood-brain barrier. A large amount of alcohol will cross the barrier to hinder the work of the brain and damage the nervous system for a long time. The most serious injury is the liver, which is obsessed with alcohol. After alcohol enters the human body, 99% will be handed over to the liver, which will give up all other affairs and deal with alcohol wholeheartedly first, and all substances used to deal with substances such as fat are used in alcohol, resulting in a large accumulation of fat and heat in the liver, which may lead to high blood lipid concentration or fatty liver, so heavy drinking is also an important cause of fatty liver.
Of course, drinking a small glass of white wine every day is much better than drinking a lot, but we must pay attention to the amount of alcohol. Although 25g of alcohol per day may not cause any harm to the human body, it will increase the burden on the liver, and the organs of the human body are getting old with continuous use and wear, so try not to drink alcohol.
It depends on the size of the glass and whether the liquor is high (above 50) or low (below 40). If it is a small glass of 50 ml low-alcohol liquor as shown in Figure 1, drinking one glass a day is almost harmless to most healthy adult men; If it is a large glass of 200 ml high-alcohol liquor as shown in Figure 2, even healthy people will have a very high possibility of suffering from fatty liver or cirrhosis after drinking it for a long time, and they will definitely get sick after drinking it.
Daily alcohol consumption of healthy men
But if you are a woman or a man with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid and hepatitis, that is another matter. Women's daily alcohol limit is 15g, which is much lower than that of men, almost the same as that of men, and they can only drink half a small glass. If you have the above diseases, you should stop drinking and recuperate, or just drink less occasionally, instead of drinking less all the time.
Of course, the harm of drinking to health depends on personal circumstances. Some people inherit well, don't smoke, have no chronic diseases, have a reasonable diet, keep exercising and live a healthy lifestyle. On this basis, drinking, even if it is regular, should be completely ok as long as it is not particularly heavy. On the contrary, if the genetic quality is poor, the disease is high or high, the diet is unreasonable, there is no exercise, and the lifestyle is unhealthy, plus smoking and drinking, it is not death!
People over 40 may already be at risk of heart disease. For them, moderate drinking is good for their health. For young people, they will get much less benefits. However, the Guide to Health Education for Patients with Hypertension in China (20 13) points out that "it is not recommended to drink a small amount of alcohol to prevent coronary heart disease; Patients with hypertension had better not drink alcohol. If you drink alcohol, men should not exceed 25g per day, and women should be halved. Slow down the drinking speed, avoid a dry bite, follow the food and drink wine, and don't drink high-alcohol drinks. "
See too many patients, young people drink into cirrhosis, even liver cancer, almost every month to go to the hospital, albumin, diuretics, ascites. Do you know how painful abdominal distension is in patients with cirrhosis and ascites? Holding a balloon-like belly, he said to the doctor: Give me ascites quickly, I can't stand it.
