Fact about alcohol

in #aww7 years ago

Men who have one or two drinks a day, and women who have one drink a day have a 29% decreased risk of heart-related death and a 22% reduced risk of death, a new study have revealed.
While many researches have warned of its adverse health effects, a recent study says if consumed lightly or in moderation, alcohol could actually lead to a longer life.
According to the study, men who have one or two drinks a day, and women who have one drink a day have a 29 percent decreased risk of heart-related death and a 22 percent reduced risk of death from any cause, compared with teetotalers.
The researchers said prior studies have shown that alcohol can lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and increase “good” HDL cholesterol in the blood, adding that it appears to reduce the formation of plaques in blood vessels that can block arteries and cause strokes.
The research involved data reviewed from over 333,200 people who participated in the federally-funded US national health interview surveys from 1997 to 2009.
The researchers, however, found that heavy drinkers are 27 percent more likely to die from cancer, and 11 percent more likely to die early.
Sreenivas Veeranki, the study co-author, said “the relationship between alcohol and death risk is a “J-shaped curve, in which too much drinking can be detrimental to health.

Steem ON!

Okay; but, what's tragically missing from this post is the fact that anyone who drinks EVERY day might have to discern if they are an alcoholic; which is far more detrimental to the overall mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of all involved.

We just have to understand the fact that alcohol is not good for our mental and spiritual health

So truth! I was shocked to learn that some people carry a gene that one drop of alcohol makes them an instant addict. Our current POTUS has that gene. It was astonishing to learn that for this reason he has never had a drink. That's amazing considering the world he lives in. He says he lost an older brother to this disease, and made the choice to never drink. He taught his kids to stay away from drugs, drink, and smokes.
I can honestly say I've witnessed how tragically alcohol has ruined many the life of people with great promise.
Peace!
