Xiao Zhang is an employee of a private company, and he usually has a lot of entertainment for work, and he drinks about four or five days a week, seven days a week.
Such an irregular life slowly made him feel uncomfortable, his face was a little yellow, the whole person was weak, his wife immediately took him to the hospital for examination, and found that he was already in the advanced stage of liver cancer.
The Lancet journal once explained that because of drinking alcohol there are as many as 740,000 people suffering from cancer, reminding us not to underestimate the harm of alcohol to us.
Some people drink for work and life, others for fun, either way, alcohol is irreversible to us.
First, the understanding of wine
There are currently many theories in the academic community about the origin of alcohol. One theory is that people began making wine from grapes as early as 4000 BC and called it "wine".
There is also a theory that the ancient Egyptians drank "strong wine", which at the time was called "holy wine".
In ancient times, the study of wine was attached great importance to it, and there were many related literatures. It is recorded in the "Chronicle": "He who drinks to feed others, and people are happy and forget their harm; Those who do not drink harm others, and people are evil and forget their interests. ”
In this book, a story about wine is recorded: during the period of Emperor Wudi of Han, a man named Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and he discovered that the Western Regions were rich in fine wine.
After returning to China, Zhang Qian made a detailed report to Emperor Wudi of Han. Therefore, in order to express his gratitude to Zhang Qian, Emperor Wudi of Han gave Zhang Qian a dance called "Hu Xuan Dance" in the Western Regions.
Second, the effect of alcohol on the body
As we all know, the harm of alcohol to the human body is very great. Alcohol is known as one of the "world's three major carcinogens", although some people believe that a small amount of alcohol can promote blood circulation, thereby activating blood circulation and removing stasis.
But in fact, the harm of alcohol to the human body is far greater than that of activating blood circulation and removing stasis. If you drink too much alcohol, it can lead to serious diseases such as liver disease, myocardial infarction, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
Recently, a study found that drinkers had a threefold higher risk of cancer than the general population. Of these, 740,000 developed cancer due to alcohol. Many of these 740,000 patients developed cancer as a result of excessive alcohol consumption.
Alcohol can damage the body's immune system, nervous system, endocrine system and digestive system. After these organs are damaged, they will not only cause a certain degree of damage to the human body, but also cause cell cancer.
3. What are the benefits of not drinking alcohol to the body?
Alcohol can cause chronic damage to the brain. After alcohol enters the human body, it will bring some harm to the human body, such as damage to liver function, reduce memory, damage to the brain, etc.
Among them, the most direct harm is to increase the risk of cancer. There are data that consuming 20g of alcohol per day increases the risk of cancer by 10%.
After drinking a lot of alcohol for a long time, the human body will experience headaches, vomiting, loss of appetite and other phenomena.
This is because alcohol is metabolized in the body to produce acetaldehyde, a carcinogen that causes an inflammatory response in the human body, which may cause cancer in the long run. So not drinking alcohol has many benefits for the body.
4. What happens if you drink too much alcohol?
Under the influence of alcohol, it will cause the brain's response to external stimuli to become dull, resulting in insensitive responses, such as unsteady walking after drunkenness, slow response, and decreased judgment.
When alcohol reaches a certain concentration in the body, it causes damage to brain tissue, which affects the nerves and endocrine system of the brain, making it abnormal.
After the nerves of the brain are damaged, it will affect the normal digestive function, resulting in decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, constipation and other symptoms.
In addition, alcohol can also harm liver health, affecting the liver's detoxification function, thereby greatly increasing the risk of alcoholic liver.
It's also impossible for us to not drink alcohol at all, and when you're experiencing alcohol discomfort, here are a few things you might be able to help:
First, maintaining water intake and replenishing the water needed by the body can relieve the discomfort caused by dehydration. Drinking some water or sugar-free drinks can help.
Second, eat easily digestible foods, choose some easily digestible foods, such as bread, biscuits, rice, etc., can help relieve stomach discomfort.
Third, rest or sleep, give yourself enough time to rest and recover, which can help reduce fatigue and discomfort. Fourth, avoid irritants, avoid caffeine and irritating foods.
Such as spicy foods and fried foods, because they may aggravate the discomfort, you can drink more honey water to relieve our discomfort. Please note that these methods are only temporary measures to relieve discomfort after drinking alcohol and are not a substitute for the necessity of abstinence.
However, here is still to call everyone to stop drinking as soon as possible, we can achieve the purpose of alcohol abstinence by slowly reducing the amount of drinking.
Drinking alcohol to get cancer will not only make yourself miserable, but also make a whole family suffer, in general, it is not worth the loss, so we still try not to touch alcohol.
