On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, when family and friends are reunited, it is inevitable that they will have a few drinks. However, drinking alcohol also needs to be done in moderation, and excessive alcohol consumption may have adverse effects on your health. Sichuan CDC reminds everyone to limit the amount of alcohol they drink during the Spring Festival.
According to relevant experts from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene and Safety of the Sichuan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, first of all, excessive alcohol consumption will cause damage to various organs in the body, especially the liver, stomach and heart and other organs are more obvious. Secondly, excessive alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. In addition, drinking alcohol can also affect people's judgment and reflexes, increasing the risk of accidents.
So, how do you limit the amount of alcohol you drink? Here are some suggestions:
1.Pregnant women, nursing mothers, children and adolescents should not drink alcohol
Experiments have shown that alcohol has a toxic effect on fetal brain development.
Nursing mothers drink alcohol during breastfeeding, and alcohol can affect the baby's health through breast milk, resulting in difficulty concentrating and memory impairment.
Children and adolescents are in the stage of growth and development, the function of various organs is not perfect, and the damage to the body caused by drinking alcohol is very serious.
2.Alcohol consumption should be controlled in certain occupations or special groups of people:
Driving, manipulating machinery, or other types of work that require concentration and skill should not be allowed to work after drinking.
People who are taking medications that may interact with alcohol, people with certain medical conditions such as hypertriglyceridemia, pancreatitis, liver disease, etc., should not drink alcohol.
People with high blood uric acid should not drink a lot of beer to reduce the risk of gout attacks.
3.Know the alcohol content of different types of alcohol:
Everyone drinks differently, and knowing the alcohol content of different types of alcohol can help you control how much alcohol you drink.
In general, the maximum amount of alcohol consumed by adult men and women in a day is recommended to be no more than 15g in terms of alcohol consumption.
4.Drink slowly, with food:
Don't drink too quickly and too violently, as food can slow down the absorption of alcohol and reduce the effects on your body.
5.Control the amount of time you drink:
Try not to drink alcohol too late in the evening to avoid affecting the quality of sleep.
6.It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol and not to drive after drinking.
Finally, I hope that everyone can maintain a healthy lifestyle and drink moderately during the Spring Festival to enjoy a pleasant and healthy holiday.
