The most common use of alcohol is
to drink it to get drunk, but new studies have found that alcohol in moderation
actually has health benefits. Even though it’s the number three preventable
death, 88,000 deaths in
the US each year are alcohol-related (MNT). Researchers from Brigham and
Woman’s hospital in Boston, MA conducted a study to see if alcohol is actually
beneficial. From an analysis of almost
15,000 participants, the team found that - compared with participants who
consumed no alcohol - men who drank up to seven alcoholic drinks a week had a
20% reduced risk of heart failure, while women who consumed up to seven drinks
weekly were at 16% lower risk of heart failure (European Heart Journal).
It is
kind of ironic that if you drink too much alcohol it can hurt your heart, but
if you drink in moderation it actually gives health benefits for your heart. This
is also the case with diabetes. With this being said, alcohol will not have
health benefits for everyone who consumes it in moderation.
I heard that drink moderate alcohol could promote hemokinesis, but for those people who blush their face when they drink alcohol, drink alcohol is deadly. The reason is people who have not chemical material in their body to resolve alcohol would blush when they are drinking.
