There is a rhyme in "Medicine Songs with 400 Flavors": "Wine can clear blood vessels, dispel worries and dispel happiness, drink less to keep fit, and eat more to kill people".
In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen thinks that a small amount of drinking can promote blood circulation, strengthen the spirit to keep out the cold and relieve anxiety.
As for how much to drink? Can not be generalized, Pharmacopoeia records: wine changes with human nature, some are healthy without touching a drop, and some are drunk for life; Some people get emotional after drinking, so it's better not to drink. If you don't drink anything, you'd better be slightly drunk.
Wine can make people's blood flow smoothly, which has some advantages. But if you drink too much for a long time, the blood will disperse, which will consume blood and hurt the yin. If you mix some Chinese medicines, it is more expensive to drink less. Simply put, moderate drinking can relax muscles and promote blood circulation. The best thing for health is wine. The advantage of wine is that
1: Serving table: The unique flavor and composition of wine determine that it is most suitable for serving table. It can not only stimulate appetite and digestion, but also make people excited and relaxed.
2. Nutrition: The natural raw materials and brewing process in wine make it contain a variety of amino acids, minerals and vitamins, which are nutrients that the human body must supplement and absorb.
3. Health care: Organic compounds such as polyphenols peculiar to wine can reduce blood fat, inhibit bad cholesterol, soften blood vessels, and enhance cardiovascular function and heart activity. It also has the effects of caring skin and resisting aging.
4. Enjoyability: Good wine is rich in connotation and delicious. Drinking often makes people feel happy and gives people warm emotional enjoyment. Some people say that wine is a combination of art and products, and it has high tasting value.
Of course, after all, wine also contains alcohol, and excessive drinking will definitely have an impact on the body. So it must be in moderation.

What are the benefits of drinking?
skill
The benefits of moderate drinking moderate drinking, two cups a day can reduce the possibility of dying of heart disease. Alcohol actually helps to prevent the formation of blood clots, thus effectively preventing the possibility of stroke and heart attack. People who drink moderately live longer than those who don't drink at all! And keep a good attitude.
How much wine does a person drink good for his health?
(1) Don't drink too much. It is recorded in ancient books that "drinking should not teach people to get drunk, and drunkenness will damage the body and mind." For example, patients with hypertension, excessive drinking may lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, enough is enough to drink. The toxic amount of general alcohol (ethanol) is 70-80 ml, and liquor should not exceed 50 ml at a time; No more than one bottle of beer. For festive parties, relatives and friends should not be reluctant to part with each other, nor should they compete for "men" with each other. (2) avoid "gulp" too much. Alcohol in wine will make the cerebral cortex in an abnormal state of excitement or paralysis, people will lose control, and patients with arteriosclerosis will even have cerebrovascular accidents. (3) Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, especially high-concentration alcohol, which is harmful to the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Experiments show that the toxic reaction of alcohol to the body can reach its peak as long as it is drunk on an empty stomach for 30 minutes. Bury your head in stuffy wine, or drink angry wine, it is easy to get drunk. Therefore, eating some food before drinking can enhance the enzyme activity of decomposing alcohol in the body and protect the liver. (4) Avoid drinking cold wine. Why is it hot? This is based on science. The main component of liquor is ethanol (alcohol), in addition to aldehydes. Excessive drinking can cause alcoholism. Although aldehyde is not the main component of liquor, it is much more harmful to human body than alcohol. The boiling point of aldehyde is low, only about 20℃, so as long as the wine is heated, most of the aldehyde can be volatilized, which is less harmful to people's health. (5) Avoid drinking mixed wine. Mixed wine can be divided into fermented wine (such as yellow wine and beer) and distilled wine (such as white wine), and their reactions in the body are different. Fermented wine contains less alcohol, but its quality is mixed. If mixed with distilled liquor with high alcohol concentration, it is easy to cause adverse reactions such as headache, nausea and drunkenness. (6) Avoid drinking and soda. Some people are used to mixing white wine with soda water, which is very harmful to health. Liquor generally contains alcohol. After alcohol and soda are mixed in the human body, they will spread to the whole body quickly, producing a lot of carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the stomach, liver and kidney. It * * * gastric mucosa, reduce gastric acid secretion and affect the production of digestive enzymes, and people with gastrointestinal diseases, such as drinking a lot of soda after drinking, can also cause massive bleeding in the stomach and duodenum. People with abnormal blood pressure can therefore promote the rapid penetration of alcohol into the central nervous system, leading to a rapid rise in blood pressure. Therefore, when drinking liquor, don't drink it with soda, and don't drink soda before drinking liquor. When you are drunk, you can't use soda to sober up. (7) Avoid smoking while drinking. It is common for some people to smoke while drinking at a banquet. Smoking is harmful. Don't you know that smoking while drinking is more harmful? This is because alcohol can dilate blood vessels and accelerate the circulation of body fluids, while nicotine, a toxic substance in cigarettes, is easily soluble in water. Therefore, smoking while drinking accelerates the absorption of nicotine in cigarettes. In addition, because of the toxic effect of alcohol, it can affect the detoxification function of the liver to nicotine and other substances, so smoking while drinking is more harmful to the human body. (8) Avoid catching a cold after drinking. Because of the * * * effect of alcohol, the blood vessels on the body surface dilate, the blood flow is accelerated, the skin is red, the body temperature rises, and the body temperature regulation is unbalanced. So catching cold after drinking is easy to get sick. For example, going out after sprinkling water is easy to catch a cold and frostbite, and washing your face with cold water after drinking is easy to get sores; After drinking, it is easy to blow under the electric fan, which is easy to produce headwind; When lying in the wind after drinking, it is easy to get all kinds of wind diseases; Sleeping in the open air after drinking is easy to get paralysis and beriberi. (9) Avoid taking a bath after drinking. Taking a bath after drinking will accelerate the consumption of glucose stored in the body, which will easily lead to a drop in blood sugar and a sharp drop in body temperature. Alcohol can also hinder the recovery of glucose storage in the liver and make people go into shock, so don't take a bath immediately after drinking to prevent accidents. It is also reported that taking a bath immediately after drinking is prone to eye diseases and even raises blood pressure. (10) Avoid watching TV immediately after drinking. Modern science has confirmed that methanol in wine will shrink the optic nerve, and in severe cases it will lead to blindness. Watching TV will reduce vision, drinking will damage the optic nerve, and it will be harmful to vision. Therefore, don't watch TV after drinking, especially for the elderly. (1 1) After drinking alcohol, alcohol enters the blood, which causes the blood vessels on the skin and mucosa to dilate, increase blood flow and increase permeability. At this time, if the skin is contaminated by drugs, or the pesticide dispersed in the air is inhaled into the respiratory mucosa, it will quickly or more enter the lounge through the skin and mucosa, leading to poisoning or aggravating the degree of poisoning. If the physiological changes of alcohol after entering the human body are consistent with the reaction of pesticide poisoning, and they have a synergistic effect, it will deepen the degree of poisoning and even endanger life. ......& gt& gt
Is moderate drinking good for health?
Moderate drinking is good for health.
Expert introduction
Li Shen, President of China Geriatric Care Association. 1982 to 1988 served as director of outpatient department, director of health and dean of air force command college, 1988 to 1999 served as minister of health of armed police, and 1999 served as president of China geriatric health care association.
Moderate drinking is good for health.
Li Shen, president of China Geriatric Care Association, believes that all kinds of wines contain nutrients and harmful ingredients. Moderate drinking is not only harmless to the human body, but also beneficial; But if you drink too much or are addicted to alcohol, it will lead to alcoholism, damage the digestive system and central nervous system, and even lead to liver damage and cerebral palsy.
"Medicine"-medicine comes from wine.
Li Qiping: Doctors always tell patients to quit smoking and drinking. Is alcohol harmful or beneficial to human health?
Li Shen: It is scientific to give up smoking and limit alcohol. Moderate drinking is good for health; Excessive drinking is harmful to health.
Li Qiping: From the perspective of health care, what are the benefits of wine?
Li Shen: In the medical history of China, there is a saying that "medicine originates from wine" and "wine is the best medicine". The second half of the traditional Chinese character "medicine" stands for wine in ancient Chinese. China people mastered the technology of brewing wine 4000 years ago. Wine can be used as beverage and condiment, which has the functions of promoting blood circulation, benefiting qi, warming stomach and dispelling cold.
In health care, moderate drinking can improve human immunity, increase appetite (mainly beer) and help sleep. In addition, modern medicine has observed that moderate ethanol can inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Clinical studies have proved that a small amount of drinking can significantly improve the aging symptoms of the elderly, such as improving sleep, appetite, physical strength, chills and limbs, sexual function and so on.
Moderate drinking for three times
Li Qiping: Moderate drinking, how to grasp this "moderate"?
Li Shen: Personally, I think we should start from three aspects: First, the frequency of drinking. Never drink it twice a day or every day. You can't drink it for days at a time. It is feasible to drink 1 ~ 2 times a week. Second, the appropriate amount should vary from person to person and should not exceed the individual's affordability. Generally speaking, you can't exceed 1 ~ 2 liquor at a time. Third, drink alcohol in moderation on appropriate occasions.
Can cardiovascular patients drink alcohol?
Li Qiping: Do patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease need to give up drinking?
Li Shen: We have always advocated abstinence, believing that it will help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. However, a series of large-scale clinical epidemiological surveys abroad recently found that the risk of fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease of moderate drinkers is much lower than that of non-drinkers.
Recently, a comprehensive analysis of 5 1 study abroad shows that drinking less than 20g per day can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 20%. The same results were obtained in patients with diabetes, hypertension and old acute myocardial infarction. Diabetes and hypertension often coexist with coronary heart disease. The benefits of moderate drinking are related to the fact that alcohol can increase high density lipoprotein (which can prevent the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis), prevent platelet thrombosis or improve the sensitivity of human body to insulin, thus preventing the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease. Because chronic heart failure is the main cause of death in the elderly population, Dr. Abramson of the United States conducted a study on the relationship between moderate drinking and the risk of chronic heart failure in 2235 elderly people, and the incidence of chronic heart failure was almost reduced by 50%. Those who have a history of myocardial infarction or left ventricular dysfunction do not advocate lifelong abstinence, but can encourage moderate drinking. It can be seen that moderate drinking is good for heart health, and excessive drinking is definitely harmful.
Li Qiping: What's the secret of drinking?
Li Shen: "Everything has its limits. Excessive drinking, especially hard liquor, is harmful. " The doctor's statement should be the most authoritative and scientific.
Alcohol in wine can cause different degrees of damage to internal organs. Wine is a high-calorie drink. Drinking a glass of wine is equivalent to eating 6 pieces of sugar, which is too high in calories and bad for the human body. And drunkenness is more harmful. You'd better eat something before drinking. Drinking only without eating vegetables is more harmful to the human body.
Secondly, when choosing wine, it is best to drink fruit wine, such as wine.
Both yellow wine and white wine can be used for health care.
Li Qiping: Can you introduce some domestic health wine to us?
Li Shen: Yellow rice wine is our traditional wine. For example, different ways of eating yellow rice wine have different health care effects. Drinking raw yellow wine has the functions of promoting digestion, resolving food stagnation, calming the heart and calming the nerves, and is effective for dyspepsia, anorexia, tachycardia and irritability. Hot drinking yellow wine can dispel cold and remove dampness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is beneficial to patients with backache, numbness and tremor of hands and feet, rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic injury. For example, boil rice wine, beat 1 eggs into egg blossoms, add brown sugar and simmer for a while ... >>
What are the benefits of moderate drinking?
Moderate drinking can promote blood circulation and reduce the possibility of dying of heart disease. Alcohol actually helps to prevent the formation of blood clots, thus effectively preventing the possibility of stroke and heart attack. People who drink moderately live longer than those who don't drink at all!
A large number of studies have shown that moderate drinking can also help prevent arteriosclerosis, which is the main cause of heart attack.
A study of 89,000 middle-aged women by Harvard University found that moderate drinkers are 40% less likely to suffer from heart disease than non-drinkers. Another study on 10 surveyed nearly130,000 men and women, and found that people who drink one or two glasses of wine every day are 30% less likely to die of coronary heart disease than those who don't drink at all.
The American Heart Association pointed out that moderate drinking can increase the content of benign high-density lipoprotein and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
It is generally believed that it is appropriate for women to drink a glass of wine every day, and its physiological function is similar to that of men drinking two glasses of wine every day.
Is drinking occasionally good for your health?
It depends on the physical condition. People who are allergic to alcohol don't drink at all. People with hepatitis and stomach trouble had better not drink alcohol. It's good for healthy people to drink a little wine. It's better to drink at night. Morning tea and evening wine in old Beijing are right.
When is drinking good for your health?
Traditional view: a small amount of drinking is good for health.
It is said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that wine can create both good luck and evil light. Although there is no wine and no table, wine is also poison.
Hu Sihui, a medical scientist in the Yuan Dynasty, summed up the advantages and disadvantages of drinking as follows: "The wine tastes sweet and pungent, while the heat is toxic. It is better to give priority to medicine, eliminate all evils, dredge blood vessels, thicken gastrointestinal tract, eliminate sorrow and drink less; Drinking too much is harmful to life, easy to change people's nature, and its poison is even worse. Excessive drinking is the source of death. " Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, also said, "If you drink too much, you will die in an instant." .
In recent years, some studies at home and abroad believe that a small amount of drinking is good for your health:
A small amount of drinking can improve IQ. A study by the National Life Science Association in Aichi, Japan, found that the average IQ of men who drink less than 540 ml of Japanese sake or wine every day is 3.3% higher than that of men who don't drink. The IQ of female drinkers is 2.5% higher than that of teetotalers.
Drinking a small amount of alcohol can reduce the risk of heart disease. Dr ian wright from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said: Drinking a glass of wine every day can reduce the risk of heart disease in men over 40 and postmenopausal women. In addition, alcohol can also increase the protective cholesterol in the body. At the age when drinking a small amount of alcohol is good for health, men will start at 35 and women will reach 55. This latest research shows that alcohol can only help the health of elderly men and women.
Coincidentally, a new scientific research achievement of Montreal Heart Research Institute in Canada shows that moderate drinking can protect the heart and avoid 20% ~ 30% of coronary heart disease attacks. They believe that alcohol can control the level of total cholesterol and increase the level of high density lipoprotein for a long time. Alcohol can reduce platelet thrombosis, and alcohol in wine, spirits or beer can reduce the mortality of coronary heart disease.
Drinking a small amount of alcohol can reduce the risk of dementia. Researchers from Eiras Morse University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, conducted a six-year follow-up survey on 5395 elderly people over 55 years old (including 55 years old) who had no signs of dementia. The results show that people who drink 65,438+0 ~ 3 glasses of wine a day have lower risk of dementia than those who don't drink.
"Natural" viewpoint:
Even a small amount of drinking is harmful to health.
A report in Nature magazine pointed out that even a small amount of alcohol is harmful to health. The researcher listed his supporting arguments: people under 35, as long as they drink alcohol, will increase the risk of many diseases; Men aged 35-65 drink more than 5 cups a week, and women drink more than 8 cups. The risk of illness increases with the increase of alcohol consumption.
At the same time, some studies have drawn similar conclusions to Nature:
A small amount of drinking will increase the incidence of 60 diseases. Epidemiological evidence shows that studies carried out around the world since 1970 have proved that a small amount of drinking (65438+ 0 ~ 2 cups a day) can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in elderly men and women by about 20% ~ 30%, but even a small amount of drinking will increase the chance of injury and contribute to about 60 diseases, such as various tumors, cirrhosis and nerves.
A small amount of drinking will have a bad effect on the brain. A study published by American scientists also shows that whether it is light or moderate drinking, it will inevitably have a negative impact on these people's brains. People who drink between 1 ~ 6 glasses a week are considered as light drinkers, while moderate drinkers drink more than 7 glasses a week. According to the results of magnetic resonance imaging, light and moderate drinkers do cause brain atrophy after drinking. The study also found that this situation does not distinguish between men and women, nor between races.
No matter how much asthma attack it can induce, some data show that it is harmful to asthma patients, no matter how much alcohol they drink or how high or low their alcohol level is. This is because alcohol can not only cause allergic diseases, but also induce asthma attacks.
A small amount of drinking will also vary from person to person.
It can be seen that a small amount of drinking may be beneficial to some diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases), but it will also increase the chances of suffering from other diseases. Experts tell us that when deciding whether to drink alcohol for health, we should weigh the pros and cons according to our own situation and avoid blind obedience.
A general view is that whether a person can drink or not and how much he drinks every day should be decided by a doctor, because everyone's physical condition is different.
Judging from the current research, opinions on alcohol restriction are not uniform, but some institutions and researchers have put forward some standards. From June 5th to February, 2003, the International Alcohol Policy Center in Washington, D.C., determined the standard alcohol consumption of different countries. & gt
The benefits of moderate drinking
You've drunk a little too much here. . . This is harmful to your health. Remember that it is {the right amount}! ! ! ! ! ! Moderate drinking can strengthen the heart, refresh the mind, help the stomach, eliminate fatigue and promote sleep; Modern medicine believes that the main components of wine are water and ethanol (alcohol). Alcohol can cause vasodilation after entering the human body, and the blood flow increases after cerebrovascular dilation, which can make the brain excited and fatigue disappear. Because of the effect of wine on taste and smell, it can increase breathing ability and stimulate appetite in a reflective way. Some people speculate that drinking a small amount of alcohol can increase the high-density protein in blood and decrease the level of low-density ester protein, thus reducing the chance of arteriosclerosis and obstruction caused by fat deposition. You must lose weight. . . .
