What is the Effects Of Alcohol On Your Health?
We’re all aware excessive drinking isn’t good for our health. Cirrhosis and accidents from driving under the influence are two well-known examples. However, a landmark 2022 study identified an astonishing 58 causes of death due to alcohol. In examining excess-death data, researchers determined that one in eight deaths of people between 20 and 64 is related to alcohol consumption.
Alcohol can impact almost every aspect of our health. Alcohol consumption can lead to:
Weight gain
Insomnia.
Depression.
Memory problems.
A weakened immune system.
Pancreatitis.
Diabetes complications.
Lower bone density
Hearing loss
Poor skin quality
Psoriasis
Atrial fibrillation
An increased risk of heart attack, atrial fibrillation, and stroke.
An increased risk of neck, esophagus, liver, colon, breast, and rectal cancer.
Some of the effects are immediate:
After binge drinking, you’re more than twice as likely to have a cardiac event.
And some of the damage from alcohol develops over the long term.
Alcohol can impede your body’s ability to absorb nutrients, which can more gradually erode your health.
9 Benefits Of Going Alcohol-Free
When you make the commitment to abstain from alcohol, you’ll likely start noticing positive changes within just a few days.
I don’t drink alcohol because it harms my meditation.
1 - Exploring Healthy Coping Mechanisms.
One major factor in this transformation is recognizing the role alcohol plays in your life, especially as a coping mechanism for stress. By choosing not to drink, you open the door to discovering more productive and healthier ways to relieve stress. This newfound clarity may also prompt self-reflection, as you realize the situations where you relied on alcohol as a crutch.
2 - Improved Brain Health
Research reveals that your brain can begin repairing structural damages caused by alcohol shortly after you stop drinking. This means that by taking this step towards an alcohol-free lifestyle, you are allowing your brain to heal and restore its normal functions.
3 - Sleep Quality
While it may seem like alcohol helps you fall asleep faster, it disrupts your sleep patterns, causing you to wake up after a short while and experience restless sleep. By cutting out alcohol, you can finally enjoy uninterrupted nights of sleep, leading to more energy and alertness during the day.
4 - Reduced Inflammation
Alcohol is known to trigger inflammation in the digestive tract, which can lead to various digestive issues. Chronic alcohol consumption can damage the delicate lining of the intestines, causing leaky gut syndrome, where the intestinal barrier becomes permeable, allowing toxins and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream. Cutting out alcohol helps to reduce inflammation and allows the gut to heal.
5 - Balanced Gut Microbiome
The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiome. Alcohol consumption can disrupt the balance of these beneficial bacteria, leading to dysbiosis (an imbalance of gut flora). By eliminating alcohol, you create a healthier environment for these microbes to flourish, promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption.
6 - Improved Nutrient Absorption
Alcohol interferes with the absorption of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, in the intestines. Over time, this can lead to nutritional deficiencies. By giving up alcohol, the gut lining can heal, and the absorption of nutrients can be restored, ensuring your body gets the vital elements it needs to function optimally.
7 - Better Bowel Movements
Alcohol can irritate the digestive tract and lead to irregular bowel movements, including diarrhea and constipation. Removing alcohol from your diet can help regulate bowel movements and promote smoother digestion.
8 - Enhanced Liver Function
The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing alcohol, and excessive alcohol consumption can strain the liver and lead to conditions like fatty liver and liver inflammation. By quitting alcohol, you give your liver a chance to recover and function more efficiently, which positively impacts digestion and overall health.
9 - Weight Management
Alcohol is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain when consumed regularly. Excessive weight gain, particularly around the abdominal area, can lead to digestive issues and an increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders. By cutting out alcohol, you may find it easier to maintain a healthy weight, reducing the burden on your digestive system.
10- Metabolism is slowing down and so your entire body…
