The benefits of alcohol for the body
In this article, I would like to talk about the positive effects of alcohol.
There is no doubt that acetaldehyde, a poisonous substance that is produced when the alcohol in alcoholic beverages enters the body and is metabolized, is a bad poison that rusts the body.
See another article, “What is the toxic substance acetaldehyde?“.
However, you have heard that “alcohol is the best of all medicines”, right? The alcohol contained in alcoholic beverages has some positive effects on the body.
The positive effects of alcohol on the body
One of the positive effects of alcohol on the body is its relaxing effect. It is known that drinking a small amount of alcohol relaxes the body and reduces oxidative stress.
This is especially true of brewed alcohol, such as wine and sake. There is data showing that people who drink about two glasses of wine or one cup of sake live relatively long lives.
Be careful how much you take!
If you drink more and more alcohol just because it relaxes you, your mortality rate will increase rapidly. Drinking too much can also cause various kinds of damage to the body.
It is important to enjoy alcohol in moderate amounts.
Finally.
It is said that “alcohol is the best of all medicines”. I believe that this is the most effective point. If you cannot drink, do not force yourself to drink, and even if you can drink, do not drink heavily.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare also defines moderate drinking as “moderate drinking in moderation”. We recommend that you enjoy alcohol in moderate amounts.
Reference: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare: Guidelines for drinking “moderate and moderate drinking”.
