Recently, the journal Gastroenterology published an interesting study revealing a shocking link between fasting alcohol consumption and gastrointestinal cancers. With the breakthrough of scientific research and the enhancement of people's health awareness, we should pay more attention to the impact on health while talking about the good night. This article will take you through the mystery behind this research and how to achieve the dual goals of drinking and staying in shape from the perspective of drinking culture. Until then, maybe we can take a sip of spirits and get inspired to write.
For many wine lovers, the discussion about alcohol and fat seems never-ending. Wines are indeed high in calories, and they are contained in the wide variety of wines, which attract our sense of smell and taste, and nourish our stomachs. In order to maintain a good figure while enjoying good wine, many people choose to drink on an empty stomach. They believe that if they avoid eating, so that the stomach can absorb the calories of alcohol, they can achieve the goal of not gaining weight. But this plausible idea is being challenged by the facts.
The latest study found that drinking alcohol on an empty stomach further increases the risk of gastrointestinal cancers, increasing it by about 10%. In addition, alcohol itself is a major contributor to many types of cancer, and drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is even more dangerous. In particular, the risk is further increased for stomach, liver and rectal cancers. This staggering study has attracted a lot of attention and further deepened the thinking about the relationship between alcohol and health.
Fortunately, that doesn't mean we have to give up the pleasure of drinking. We live in a diverse wine culture, and we can drink in a reasonable way while enjoying good wine and staying in good shape. How can these two goals be achieved?
First of all, it is necessary to fully understand the mechanism of action of alcohol. Alcohol inhibits the burning of fat, causing it to accumulate in the body and convert into fat cells. Therefore, whether on an empty stomach or after a meal, after getting drunk, these fats will be silently hoarded in all corners of our body. Therefore, in order to maintain a slim figure, from knowing the metabolic process of alcohol in the body, we can drink more wisely.
Second, choose healthy drinks. There is a difference between different types of alcoholic beverages and calories. In general, light ales and white wines are relatively low in calories, while strong spirits are higher in calories. Therefore, choosing low-calorie beverages can reduce the calorie intake to a certain extent and control the risk to a minimum.
In addition, while tasting good wine, it is also important to pay enough attention to the food. Protein intake can boost metabolism and help the body digest alcohol more efficiently. Let's use big fish and big meat.
