The benefits of drinking liquor in moderation for women

Red wine tastes mellow and sweet and has a low alcohol content. Many people know that drinking red wine has a very good conditioning effect on women's bodies, especially drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed at night, which can not only have a calming and beautifying effect, but also help relieve cardiovascular discomfort. But compared to drinking red wine, drinking white wine in moderation actually has many benefits for women.

Moisturizing and nourishing skin

The grain wine made through fermentation is rich in protein, amino acids and enzymes, which can increase the excitability of nerve and muscle tissues, fill capillaries and expand each cell with elasticity, thus keeping the skin smooth and radiant.

Drinking grain wine in moderation can give people a feeling of being immersed in the beauty of love, making them feel refreshed, as if bathed in the spring breeze, with fresh breath and orchid-smelling breath.

Weight loss and body shaping

Liquor can invigorate the blood and promote blood circulation, accelerate the burning of fat in the body and play a role in weight loss and body shaping.

The calories burned by drinking a glass of white wine are equivalent to one hour of exercise.

Strengthen your body

Liquor contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals. These are essential nutrients for the human body. It can be directly absorbed by the human body without prior digestion, especially the phenolic substances and oligoelement in the wine, which have the function of resisting oxidation.

Regular consumption of moderate amounts of liquor has the effect of preventing aging and prolonging life.

Protect the stomach

Grain wine can stimulate gastric acid to secrete gastric juice. Every 60-100 grams of grain wine can increase gastric juice secretion by 120 ml. The tannins in wine can increase the contraction of smooth muscle fibers in the intestinal muscle system and adjust the function of the colon. It has a certain effect on colitis.

Grain wine contains sorbitol, which aids digestion and prevents constipation.

Diuretic effect

The content of potassium sulfate, potassium oxide in white wine is high, which has a diuretic effect, can prevent edema and maintain the acid-base balance in the body.

Liquor has the function of protecting and strengthening the kidneys and bladder.

Preventing Breast Cancer

Researchers at the Illinois University of Pharmacy and Science have discovered a chemical in Chinese liquor that may protect against breast cancer. The substance has this effect because it can fight estrogen, which is related to breast cancer.

Helps you sleep

Drinking some grain wine before going to bed can help you sleep, improve your sleep quality, and make your brain enter a deep sleep and rest state.

When you fall asleep, you feel as sweet and peaceful as a baby, allowing your brain to get complete rest and relaxation.

Improve memory

Grain wine helps improve memory. The test results published by scientists show that drinking grain wine in moderation can help improve the brain's memory and learning ability.

Disadvantages of excessive drinking:

According to scientists, drinking 80-150 grams of liquor every day for 5 consecutive years can cause liver damage. 40%-50% of people will develop cirrhosis if they drink large amounts of liquor for more than 20 years. Drinking 200 grams of liquor every day for 10 years may cause fatty liver.

The damaging effect of alcohol on the liver is mainly caused by ethanol itself and its metabolite acetaldehyde. The large accumulation of ethanol and acetaldehyde will reduce the biological activity of various enzymes in liver cells, affect the normal metabolism of sugar, fat and protein, change the cell membrane structure, cause liver cell damage, fat deposition, and even liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.

In addition, acetaldehyde is a vasoactive substance that can cause capillary dilation. Some people lack acetaldehyde metabolizing enzymes in their bodies and cannot quickly convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid. Therefore, they may experience flushing of the skin on their cheeks, neck and chest after drinking a small amount of liquor. In severe cases, they may experience palpitations, shortness of breath or depression.

Mild alcoholic liver disease has no subjective symptoms, while severe cases have clinical manifestations such as decreased appetite, nausea, abdominal distension, liver enlargement, jaundice or ascites. Laboratory tests may show varying degrees of liver function abnormalities, among which increases in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and glutamyl transferase (GGT) are more prominent.

In addition, long-term drinking can lead to deficiencies of multiple nutrients in the body. Wine is one of the pure energy foods. Can be broken down in the body to produce energy. But it does not contain any nutrients. Excessive drinking first reduces the intake of other foods containing a variety of important nutrients (such as protein, vitamins, and minerals).

Studies have shown that long-term excessive drinking can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Alcoholism can also lead to violent accidents, which is harmful to personal health and social security.
