Now everyone is saying that drinking is not good. Smoking is not only bad for your health, but also affects the health of others. Smoking is not harmful, but it does affect others.
Let's talk about drinking. Now every year, some national and international organizations are publishing some data, such as what diseases drinking will cause, or how many people die every year because of drinking. However, in our daily life, we often see some people who smoke and drink, and they are still healthy when they are 80 or 90 years old.
For example, my grandfather, but now he is dead. He used to drink almost every day. Later, when he was in his eighties, the doctor wouldn't let him drink, and then he stopped drinking. A few years later, he died at the age of 90. However, the time he didn't drink in his life may be when he was a child and in the last few years, and he drank all the rest of the time, sometimes getting drunk.
In fact, the most critical issue of drinking is moderation. In fact, whatever you do, you should be moderate. Too little is not good, too much is definitely worse. Eating too much is not good, let alone drinking. Therefore, you can only control yourself. It's okay to drink a little every day, but don't get drunk.
Secondly, it is also based on people's physique. Everyone's physical condition is different, so it can't be said that others have problems with drinking, so everyone will have problems with drinking.
Of course, for those people who can't drink, such as those with physical problems and liver problems, we all know that China is the country with the biggest liver disease in the world, and one in ten people has liver problems, so drinking for these people must be controlled. People with hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and stomach diseases should drink less.
Nowadays, people in society have to drink, but in any case, the body knows that people who can't drink should never drink. The body is your own, and the body makes money, but money may not get a healthy body, so pay attention to drinking.
Nutritionist Tang Xiao will answer your questions. This is actually equivalent to looking at the problem one-sidedly. It is said that drinking is harmful to health. Then why are some people still in good health after drinking every day? Sugar thinks there are the following reasons.
1. Drinking a small amount of wine every day is actually harmless. The alcohol content of men's daily drinking is less than 25g, and that of women's daily drinking is less than15g. In this range, our bodies can easily metabolize alcohol. So, it makes sense to have a little fun.
2. Personal physique, we have to admit that everyone's physique is different. It's like, some people get fat as soon as they eat, and some people can't get fat at all. Some people are in good health, even if they smoke and drink every day, they can live to be seventy or eighty years old. Therefore, it is unfair to be naive in the world. The first spell for my father was given to my body by my parents.
3. Other factors, such as diet, exercise and mentality, are all important factors affecting health. Who does not have the bad habit of smoking, drinking and staying up late? But these people are all working people. After long-term exercise, simple diet and optimistic attitude, they can still live a healthy life.
Therefore, we can't just look at the problem from one point. To look at it comprehensively. Everyone has bad habits. Different constitutions and living conditions make everyone's physical condition different.
We can't imitate others just because they don't drink or smoke all their lives. Because many people are seriously ill because of smoking and drinking, but you just don't see it.
I have met many people who drink every day. I have two friends who drink all the year round, and their experiences are worth sharing with you.
Three cups a day, 250 beats, long dead.
Lao Lin, 54, from Fujian, is doing tea business with us. He is an alcoholic. The first thing he does every morning is to drink. He must never drink less three meals a day. He drinks at least 1.5 kg to 2 kg every day on average.
I told him more than once, don't drink so much, something will happen; But he said, "I've been drinking all my life and I can't quit." That's it! " "
One weekend night, when I was on duty, the emergency department called to say that I had an arrhythmia consultation. I went to see Lao Lin lying on the monitoring bed. The emergency doctor has electrocuted Lao Lin twice.
Lao Lin suddenly fainted and his family was taken to the hospital. An electrocardiogram showed rapid arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia, torsade de pointes, and a heart rate of over 250 beats. I fainted here twice after admission, and the doctor has defibrillated twice.
After intravenous infusion of rescue drugs, the patient still suffered from repeated ventricular tachycardia and had to be defibrillated repeatedly for more than 20 times. Later, after potassium and magnesium supplementation, anti-arrhythmia and other treatments, after more than three hours of rescue, the condition finally stabilized.
I still have to drink alcohol during hospitalization. If I don't drink, I will go crazy. Finally discharged from the hospital, we still advised him to give up drinking, but it was useless.
A few months later, Lao Lin fainted again and was taken to the hospital. His heart has stopped beating, and Lao Lin is gone. He can't drink any more.
The disease was caused by Lao Lin's long-term alcoholism, which led to such a serious arrhythmia and eventually led to death.
Excessive drinking will not only lead to this malignant arrhythmia, but also aggravate the degree of atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, sudden death and other risks.
Do not eat or drink, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Lao Wu, the son of an old patient, was hospitalized for a long time because his father was a veteran cadre, and he was old and in poor health. After that, Lao Wu stopped working and stayed with his old father all the year round.
Later, I found that Wu's ward was full of alcohol for a long time, and I realized that Lao Wu loved to drink, not to mention not drinking for a day or a meal.
I found that his palm is red, and he has a liver palm. I say you drink less and see what your liver has become. Lao Wu asked me how I knew he had a bad liver. I said how good the liver can be, and sooner or later it will cirrhosis.
Within a year, Wu Lao had not left, and his son Lao Wu left first because of liver cancer.
Alcoholic cirrhosis is caused by long-term heavy drinking. It is the terminal stage of alcoholic hepatitis, and the occurrence of alcoholic cirrhosis is related to drinkers' drinking style, gender, genetic factors, nutritional status and whether they are complicated with hepatitis virus infection. Drinking a lot of scores at a time and drinking a little a few times is more harmful, and drinking every day is more harmful than intermittent drinking. Women who drink alcohol are more likely to suffer from alcoholic liver disease than men. It is easy to become cancerous after liver cirrhosis, leading to death.
Big data on drinking:
The Lancet, the world's top magazine, was included in the study, with a sample size of nearly 600,000 people. The hazards of long-term drinking are as follows:
Leading to a significant increase in the incidence of stroke; The incidence of heart failure increased significantly; The risk of coronary heart disease is significantly increased; Leading to a significant increase in liver cancer; The risk of digestive tract ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding is significantly increased.
According to the survey, among the more than 32 million people who die for various reasons every year in the world, 2.8 million are directly caused by drinking, which is the seventh leading cause of death!
There is an article in The Lancet (20 19), in which 28 million people are selected, and various factors such as gender, age, alcohol consumption and frequency are analyzed in detail, and the harm of alcohol to health is made clear. The final conclusion is: there is no such thing as moderate drinking is good for health, but how much alcohol you drink is harmful!
Why do some people drink every day?
1, everyone's metabolism and tolerance to alcohol are different, that is, the amount of alcohol we talk about is different. Some people get drunk when they drink 1, while others don't get drunk when they drink 1 kg. But not being drunk does not mean that there is no harm. It hurts more when you are drunk. People who drink every day, especially those who drink a lot, are in poor health. If there is, it is also a character in martial arts novels, but Gu Long, the author of martial arts novels, is a heavy drinker. After the doctor told him that he had to give up drinking, he died at the age of 47 after drinking for three days.
We only see a small sample of events, that is, it is easier to remember who lived to be 90 years old and forget those who died early after drinking. Remember Shi who died of drinking last year, Gu Long who died of drinking, and many people around him who died young because of drinking? I don't even remember. People are more willing to believe that Jong lived after drinking 100 years.
3. Single-factor drinking will definitely affect health and life expectancy, and it is recognized that alcoholism will definitely affect health and shorten life expectancy. As for people who drink longevity wine, on the one hand, the genes are good, including longevity genes and alcohol metabolism, on the other hand, the comprehensive conditions are good, that is, other factors lead to longevity, not because of drinking, and there is no evidence to prove that drinking longevity.
4. We don't exclude individuals who drink a little wine every day, or a relatively safe dose for them, and at the same time cooperate with a comprehensive and healthy lifestyle and healthy mentality to live a long life. But this longevity is not the result of drinking, but the result of a small amount of comprehensive health style, mentality, genetics and so on.
Is there a safe dose for drinking?
First of all, everyone can drink different amounts of wine. Secondly, it says that how much wine we drink is not necessarily good for our health, but we really can't live without wine.
Under the premise of personal circumstances, if adults want to drink alcohol, men should not exceed 25g and women should not exceed 15g per day.
25 grams of alcohol is equivalent to 750 ml of beer, or 250 ml of wine, or 75 ml of 38-degree liquor, or 50 ml of high-alcohol liquor.
15g alcohol is equivalent to 450ml beer, or 150ml wine, or 50ml 38-degree liquor, or 30ml high-alcohol liquor.
Eat less wine and learn more!
Zhang Xueliang came to eat, drink, gamble and take drugs, and lived 100 years old.
In that case, wouldn't it tell people that they can live longer if they come with everything?
If you really think so, congratulations, you have only seen the surface again.
When was Zhang Xueliang born? As we all know, what is his medical background (specialized private doctor)? You don't have to think about it.
Say Jong is too far away, just talk about the great men of modern times! He lived for more than 80 years and never left his body. The problem is that his old man is the head of a country. Can ordinary people compare with him? His medical care, his diet and his daily life are all formulated by professionals to make up for the health damage caused by smoking as much as possible.
Many people drink a lot of wine and are still in good health. This is just the surface you see. You can't see the liver problem behind him. He won't tell you the problem behind drinking because of this. Of course, there is no denying that some people are in good health and drinking is no big deal, but you should know that this does not mean that you can.
As doctors, we advise others to drink less and not to smoke. We never talk about personal feelings, only from the data. Go to the doctor's respiratory department to see how many patients are caused by smoking. Go to the place where the liver is examined and ask how much is caused by drinking.
There is a common logical fallacy in life, such as survivor bias, which means that you can only see some screening results, but you are not clear about the screening process, so you ignore the key information that has been screened. What you see now is actually a minority in my eyes, but what I see is more diseases caused by smoking and drinking, and some even drag my body down.
A person who doesn't smoke or drink is likely to be much healthier than a person who often smokes and drinks. Of course, you insist that so many people who smoke and drink in the world have not seen many great events, and I have nothing to say. I just hope you can smoke and drink, and you can say it decades later without regret.
I have met too many people. At first, I sneered at doctors who advised them not to smoke and drink less, but on that day, they regretted not listening to the doctor earlier. I hope you don't become such a person.
The most typical one is Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and has lived for more than 100 years.
If you really think so, you are wrong.
You know, Zhang Xueliang's "degenerate career" did not last long.
When Zhang Xueliang was a child, his family was average and he wouldn't be allowed to play so much.
In other words, in Zhang's later years, after the rise of Feng, Zhang Xueliang became "crazy".
The good times didn't last long. Zhang died in a few years, and the rumbled himself was less "nonsense".
Only when you are in charge do you know what a busy thing is. Zhang Xueliang is overwhelmed by all kinds of things every day, so there is no time to eat, drink, go whoring and gamble.
When Zhang Xueliang was a "little flower" and a "four sons of the Republic of China", it was said that he could not sit for ten minutes and had to find a place to smoke two cigarettes, which showed that he was addicted to cigarettes.
But since his father died, it is rare to hear rumbled smoking opium.
On this day, Zhang Xueliang was detained before long.
The days of detention, that is, eating and drinking, are enough, but there is nothing special to take care of, which is equivalent to giving Jong compulsory smoking cessation.
Later, he retired to Taiwan Province Province, went to prison again, and even lost his personal freedom.
It is conceivable that for 50 years, Zhang Xueliang lived a life similar to an ascetic monk.
It can be said that Zhang Xueliang has severed relations with alcohol and tobacco for decades.
Besides, the wine that Zhang Xueliang used to drink is not the wine blended with alcohol now. At that time, wine was really the essence of food, and its harm to the body was not so serious.
In addition, Zhang Xueliang has a special doctor to recuperate, so his body has been very healthy.
So don't believe that drinking a lot of wine every day can keep you healthy. At first, you may not see anything. In the long run, the harm to the body is very serious.
Speaking of drinking, it has always been a pain point for Dr. Li. After graduating from senior three, everyone drank for the first time at the party, and everyone frequently raised their glasses. The first time I drank beer, I felt bitter and there was nothing wrong with it, so I followed everyone one after another. When I drank the fifth bottle, I felt like my stomach was turning upside down and my blood was surging, which made me feel "not wanting to throw up". Hurriedly ran to the bathroom, because of inexperience, mouth and nose sprayed out together. I vomited seven or eight times and fell asleep. I was sent home and slept until the next morning. My throat and esophagus are like fire.
From then on, even if you don't drink more than three glasses of beer, it will be unbearable hot, and your skin will be red and itchy. At the same time, if the stomach is swollen, it will vomit quickly, so why do some people drink it but it's okay, or even a thousand cups?
There are hangover enzymes in human body, including alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The main component of the wine we drink is acetaldehyde, which is decomposed into acetaldehyde by ethanol in the body. Then acetaldehyde dehydrogenase decomposes acetaldehyde into acetic acid, so there is nothing wrong with turning it into acetic acid. With decomposition, it can be excreted through urine.
Therefore, it is very important to be able to drink. Some people have these two enzymes, which is the legendary "wine basket". People who go to the toilet after drinking and continue to have nothing to do can really drink.
There is only alcohol dehydrogenase, which is red and warm after drinking. Because acetaldehyde can dilate blood vessels and pass through other metabolic pathways more slowly, it will take several hours for Dr. Li to blush after drinking. The long-term accumulation of acetaldehyde is very harmful to the body and will lead to liver cancer.
There is also the absence of these two enzymes. After drinking alcohol, ethanol will flow all over the body with blood, but it will not blush, and even become whiter and whiter. Alcohol flows all over the body with the blood. Although such people are not easy to get drunk, it takes longer for alcohol to be eliminated from the body, which is also the most harmful to the body.
Finally, many friends say that some people drink alcohol every day but are in good health. I can only say that one example does not represent universality. Everyone has different living and working environments and different innate conditions, so to form good habits is to be responsible for yourself, not to argue with others.
Everyone's health is different, and I also like drinking. We all know that drinking a little wine is good for our health, but sometimes we drink a lot when we are in a good mood and get drunk when we are in a bad state. Although the stomach doesn't absorb the most alcohol, that's why drinking immediately won't make you drunk immediately, because alcohol won't be absorbed in large quantities until our intestines, but the stomach is really the most injured! Because the concentration of alcohol is the highest at this time. Some people pay more attention to it and make sure that there is nothing wrong with their health. In order to protect your stomach, you are actually prepared.
Don't drink on an empty stomach! This is the common sense of drinking. We should protect ourselves while not drinking on an empty stomach, such as drinking some milk to protect our stomach.
Others have no fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis, and naturally protect the liver. In the case of inevitable drinking, we can eat more foods that protect the liver, such as lemons. Lemon can help detoxify the liver. Mung bean is definitely a good cook, especially for people who drink more and drink for a long time. Therefore, we can drink a bowl of mung bean juice every morning and evening to protect the liver. These friends who get drunk when they drink now should pay more attention to their health. If you can't drink, drink less, so that your body won't have so much burden. Please pay attention to drinking and drink in moderation.
As long as the harm of tobacco and alcohol to human body is mentioned, many people will scoff at it, and they will also give examples. For example, my grandmother smoked all her life and lived in her 90 s, and my grandfather drank wine three times a day, and she was in good health and never went to the hospital. There is also a funny joke on the Internet. The 90-year-old grandmother told everyone that all the doctors who advised me to quit smoking and drinking were dead. Some people have strange logic and always like to use some examples to refute the truth and make excuses for their bad hobbies. It's like running a red light Are all the people who like to run red lights killed? No, after all, only some people were involved in the accident.
There is no doubt that alcohol is harmful to human health. Long-term heavy drinking will damage brain cells, leading to confusion and memory loss. At the same time, it will increase the burden of oxidative decomposition of the liver and cause damage to liver cells. As a primary carcinogen, alcohol is related to more than ten kinds of cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer and breast cancer. Moreover, alcohol can damage vascular endothelium and increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke.
But there are also some strange phenomena. Few people drink it every day and it looks good. What is the reason?
1. I don't drink much every day. Although I drink alcohol every day, I have good self-control ability. Every time I drink 1-2, this dose can be metabolized by my liver in time.
2. The amount of alcohol consumed by people with high liver enzyme content is related to the alcohol deoxygenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase that decompose alcohol contained in human liver. People with good alcohol consumption have relatively more enzymes in their bodies, and their alcohol metabolism will be rapid and will not remain in the body, so the impact on organ function will be much smaller. The levels of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase have obvious individual differences, which are related to individual genes.
3. Other living habits are very good. Although some people often drink, they have no other bad habits. They don't smoke, don't stay up late, keep exercising, and don't eat or drink indiscriminately. In this way, other good habits will offset some of the harm that alcohol does to the body. After all, there are too many factors affecting physical condition, including internal and external factors, and drinking is just one of many external factors.
Some people seem to be in good health after drinking wine every day. The harm of alcohol to human body is slow and gradually accumulated. It may take decades to change from quantitative change to qualitative change, so if they are still young, this kind of injury will not show obvious symptoms. We sometimes meet some lung cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, and their liver function is obviously abnormal after one cycle of medication. Such patients often have a history of drinking and poor liver reserve function, which is reflected as soon as they take medicine.
5. It looks good. In fact, just because some people look good on the surface doesn't mean they are completely healthy. Drinking alcohol every day may lead to abnormal liver function, fatty liver or mild cirrhosis, esophageal and gastric mucosal erosion and so on. But there are often no symptoms, and it is difficult to find them without blood test and gastroscopy B-ultrasound.
I'm Fu Dad, a clinical nutritionist. I hope my answer is useful to you.
Wine is one of the three major beverages of human beings, and the other two kinds of coffee and tea are considered to be healthy, so there is a big controversy about wine. It is generally believed that long-term heavy drinking is really bad for health, but opinions on the influence of long-term small drinking on health are not uniform.
In fact, the effect of alcohol on human health is very slow, especially a small amount of drinking has little effect on the human body, and it is not good or bad in the short term. Only by observing a large number of people for a long time can we get more reliable results. Last August, the top medical magazine The Lancet published a heavy paper on drinking, which clearly pointed out that any form of drinking is harmful to any extent! Drinking is related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer and other chronic diseases. This paper involves many countries, with a large population, reasonable experimental design, accurate data statistics and should be more credible.
In daily life, we do see some people suffering from hypertension and alcoholic cirrhosis because of drinking. At the same time, some people drink a lot of wine every day, but they are still in good health until their sixties and seventies. This will inevitably lead to chaos. Is drinking good or bad? Is the scientist's research conclusion not credible?
The reason is that there are many factors that affect human health, and drinking is only one of them.
Luck is right, you are not mistaken, it is luck! Drinking alcohol only increases the probability of suffering from certain diseases, which does not mean that drinking alcohol will definitely make you sick. Whether you get sick after drinking really has a lot to do with luck. Last year, there was an interesting paper abroad, which suggested that under the same carcinogenic factors, the main factor of not getting cancer is luck! Although this paper has caused great controversy, the views put forward in it are indeed consistent with many phenomena observed in our daily life.
Inherent genetic factors When studying the relationship between smoking and lung cancer, scholars found that some people have some genes. People with these genes are naturally sensitive to tobacco and are more prone to lung cancer. People without these genes also smoke, but they are not easy to get lung cancer. The influence of drinking on the body will also be influenced by genes. This is the influence of congenital genetic factors on health, and the so-called good foundation. It seems that it is really important to win over mom and dad.
