"deep feelings, a stuffy"
China New Year holiday,
It is even more inevitable for friends to have a few drinks.
Alcohol can cause cancer, liver damage, stomach damage and blood vessel damage.
Cephalosporin with wine, drink it off in one gulp.
These health topics
Laughing at health has been said again and again.
But today this case of alcohol-induced illness is very special!
One kilogram of China white wine every day.
Dermatitis, diarrhea, neuroticism come to you together.
50-year-old Lao Li (pseudonym) began to itch inexplicably three years ago and broke out in a rash. Slowly, he developed an itchy rash on his face and neck, and at the same time he kept having diarrhea, and he had to defecate 7 8 times a day.
More than half a year passed, and the family found that Lao Li often said something irrelevant and answered irrelevant questions. He also said that his skin seemed to be bitten by a bug, so he took Lao Li to the psychiatric department, but his symptoms never eased and became more and more serious.
In addition to the rash, Lao Li began to feel dizzy, anxious, irritable, emotionally unstable and depressed. So the family took Lao Li to Shanghai Grand Hospital, and finally found the cause under the doctor's detailed inquiry and examination.
Lao Li has "niacin deficiency", which is what the older generation called "boils"!
In the past, the common cause of boils was malnutrition. With the improvement of people's living standards, nicotinic acid deficiency has been difficult to see in clinic.
However, in recent years, due to the excessive drinking of modern people, nicotinic acid can not be fully utilized in human liver, and alcohol can also inhibit the absorption and utilization of nicotinic acid. The appearance of "boils" is increasing gradually, which is often accompanied by misdiagnosis. In many cases, it is very serious when the cause is found!
Like Lao Li, he has been drinking for more than 20 years, drinking 400 500mL liquors every day. Since the onset, my spirit, appetite and sleep are very poor. I have loose bowels every day and lost a circle.
The picture may cause discomfort, check it carefully!
Like Lao Li, most patients can relieve symptoms by increasing the intake of nicotinic acid and changing their eating habits, and there is no recurrence after treatment.
However, research shows that if not treated in time, the mortality rate of boils is as high as 15% 50%. In general, untreated people may die of severe diarrhea, peripheral circulation or systemic failure within 4-5 years.
Lao Xu (a pseudonym), 46, is like this. For four years, he drank 250 500-gram liquors every day. At first, he didn't notice the symptoms of dermatitis, but wiped it with ointment. Later, the skin symptoms became more and more serious, and the person died six days after being sent to the hospital.
Lao Xu's legs have been corroded since he was admitted to the hospital.
What is nicotinic acid?
Why would it be like this without it?
Nicotinic acid is one of the essential 13 vitamins, also known as vitamin B3.
Moreover, nicotinic acid is one of the few relatively stable vitamins in food. Unlike vitamin C in food, it will be lost after cooking, and it will not be lost in large quantities after cooking and storage, which will affect its effectiveness. In addition to preventing boils, it also has the following functions:
Promote the health of digestive system: it can relieve gastrointestinal dysfunction and diarrhea symptoms, so that the human body can make full use of food to increase energy.
Protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health: it can lower cholesterol and triglycerides, lower bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) and increase good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein), promote blood circulation, lower blood pressure and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Solve oral problems: it can treat inflammation of oral cavity and lips, prevent halitosis and relieve fatigue.
Prevention and relief of migraine: Nicotinic acid can dilate peripheral blood vessels, so it has a therapeutic effect on preventing and relieving severe migraine, preventing the formation of pulmonary embolism and chilblain, and relieving the uncomfortable symptoms of Meniere's syndrome (specifically manifested as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus and hearing loss), heart disease, insomnia and other diseases.
Relieve the symptoms of arthritis: Because nicotinic acid plays an important role in the production of bile salts and the synthesis of hormones, studies have shown that it can help people relieve the symptoms of arthritis.
Fighting early Alzheimer's Harmo's disease: American researchers counted the content of nicotinic acid in the diet of 8 15 elderly people, and found that people who consume more than 22 mg of nicotinic acid every day are less likely to develop early Alzheimer's Harmo's disease than those who consume less than 13 mg of nicotinic acid every day.
Without nicotinic acid, the human body can't use protein, carbohydrates and fat to generate energy, and can't synthesize protein and fat. Nicotinic acid deficiency has three typical symptoms: dermatitis, diarrhea and dementia. Old drunkards should pay special attention!
"Don't just drink and eat!"
It's not just courtesy.
This sentence, which is often heard on the wine table, has some truth.
Nicotinic acid is widely distributed in foods such as mushrooms, peanuts, animal livers, kidneys, fish, poultry, whole grains and nuts.
Diet cures more than the doctor. When drinking, you must match appetizers rich in niacin to avoid niacin deficiency.
Moreover, for diabetic patients, if they only drink alcohol and eat nothing else, or drink a lot on an empty stomach, the stored glycogen will lead to severe hypoglycemia, that is, alcoholic hypoglycemia, which will cause coma in severe cases.
Judging from the nicotinic acid content, fried peanuts and stewed mushrooms with chicken can be said to be good choices for alcoholics.
Of course, nicotinic acid can also be transformed from tryptophan in vivo with the participation of vitamins B 1, B2 and B6. Although the content of nicotinic acid in milk and eggs is low, the content of tryptophan is high, which can be converted into nicotinic acid in the body.
In addition, sufficient and active intestinal beneficial bacteria will produce nicotinic acid, which can supplement probiotics or prebiotics every day to promote the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria.
China Nutrition Society recommended that the daily intake of adults should be 12mg, and the therapeutic dose should not exceed 50 ~ 100mg.
People with bleeding symptoms or suffering from glaucoma, diabetes, liver disease, hypotension and gastric ulcer should consult a doctor when taking it. Excessive use can cause flushing, fever, itching, ant walking, palpitation, nausea and vomiting. Excessive use can lead to poisoning and acute gout.
Of course, most people don't need to supplement nicotinic acid except diet, and they haven't seen reports of poisoning caused by excessive intake of nicotinic acid.
Today's article is mainly to remind "alcoholics" who are addicted to alcohol, to drink while they are young!
According to the recommendation of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents No.2016, the weekly alcohol consumption of men should not exceed 175g, and that of women should not exceed 105g. From the daily amount, the male does not exceed 25g, and the female does not exceed 15g.
It's rare to get together during the Chinese New Year, and it's hard to talk all the time on the wine table.
Catching up and drinking tea is also intimate, just like sitting and chatting.
