9 myths about alcohol
|
The utility alcohol is a lot of confusion and even myths. As it is true?
Myth 1. With alcohol, you can quickly warm
People believe that alcohol has heating effect. And for frozen man rights drinking something stronger is the best choice.
In such approval is only a small fraction of truth. The fact is that at cooling help about 50 grams of vodka or cognac. They are expanding receptacles and normalize blood internal organs. The same doses of alcohol increase the flow in the skin. She redder, a pleasant feeling of warmth. But it is misleading because, in this case, more heat, and the body begins to cool further. And the person is a subjective sense of well-being. So heating effect of alcohol is very exaggerated.
Myth 2. Alcohol increases the appetite
Alcohol really whetted appetite. But a mild sense of hunger only provoke strong drinks, and then only small quantities. This is a 20 to 25 grams of vodka. It affects the saturation and activates it. The entire process takes 15 to 20 minutes, no less. The drink "for appetite" directly before the food could not be more wrong. It takes only seconds to famine appears: to be taking a longer time.
In addition to the alcohol, food is not a solution to the situation. Alcohol will aggressively to behave towards membrane hungry stomach. It will suffer and hydrochloric acid, a which will also increase. As a result, there is a growing gastritis. Was that too high price for the good appetite?
Myth 3. Alcohol removes stress
Often fatigued people have tried to improve their mood by alcohol. But in most cases this is done correctly. The drink is very little, 20-30 ml of vodka or cognac or 40 ml of wine or martini. Such small doses relieve internal stress and helps relax. What, after all, the notion of "stress withdraw." Unfortunately, the most commonly used for this purpose much more of alcohol. Here, the scenario may develop in two ways. The first is exacerbated by fatigue, decreased mood, a unique depression, which only increases the feeling of fatigue. The second is alcohol euphoria, which is bound to end depression. In neither case, the release of stress out of the question.
So if we get rid of this scourge by alcohol, then it must do so with intelligence.
Myth 4. Alcohol enhances
Many believe that under the influence of alcohol to work more than usual. It is not on the average, far less severe intoxication when hardened all reactions and feelings. It is understood the light, which are activated thought processes.
But the feeling is subjective, and this was demonstrated recently by Australian scientists. Through experimentation, they have interesting conclusions. It turns out that the slightly drunk people thought speed and mobility reactions can grow. But these reactions are often wrong. Moreover, even small doses of alcohol are lower concentration and quality considerations.
Maybe work and will be implemented soon, but did not have all kinds of mistakes.
Myth 5. Alcohol lowers blood pressure
This approval is an element of truth in small doses of alcohol actually weaken tone vascular wall. But at the same time they increased the frequency of heart. A arterial pressure directly depends on the amount of blood. The volume of the more the pressure above. The alcohol could in no way be described as a drug for hypertension.
The situation is compounded by the fact that many alcoholic drinks contain biologically active substances. These compounds, in and of themselves, may have an influence on arterial pressure, and in most cases negative.
Myth 6. Providing alcohol harm does not
Any alcohol has on the organism toxic effect. This is because one of the products of ethanol-acetic aldehyde.
But poor drinking affects the body even worse. The same can be said about domestic beverage production. And seems to be a good water use, and clean fruit or berries, and still drink produced much more harmful than the same purchase.
Certainly, the need to be famous and expensive brand, but it is for sure that they will not affect people's health.
Myth 7. Alcohol - medication for common cold
Many treated for a cold drink, with apples, honey, with something else. It is considered that this drink reduces the temperature, and stops cold, and sore throat diminishes. What began this belief, no one really knows. However, many did believe that the old recipe, and all our ancestors treated this way.
Alcohol is not the best way affects inflamed throat. It starts showing after "treatment" even more. So believe in the curative powers of vodka is not. However, a small amount of heated red wine can drink. It at least has the ability to stimulate the body's immune response.
Myth 8. Beer is not alcohol
Many think that time is the beer an alcohol drink, it would not cause any health damage. This is a disastrous mistake. The beer is not very much alcohol. But this is not to say that the drink harmless. He, too, is skeptical, and hence is a matter of habit.
Not in recent times more and more doctors refer to the so-called beer alcoholism. Furthermore, beer very bad effect on the liver and the heart. These bodies are undergoing transformation and become dysfunctional. Given all this, there was no question about the beer as lemon squash. We absorb his litres daily.
Myth 9. Alcohol is a low-calorie drink
Many of the women count all calories eaten. A drink calories do not. Meanwhile, the alcohol has a very high energy value, the stronger the drink, it is worth more. The highest rate of vodka. Last nutritional composition does not have calories introduced only by alcohol. It is, therefore, very difficult to get.
Slightly different case with wine. Energy value of this drink derives partly carbohydrates, which are easily split and easily burned. The wine is not so devastating effect on appearance.
Yet any alcohol very calorie. This rule does not know exceptions so before summer, need to think not only about their health, but also the body.
