Many people like drinking, and some people find it pleasant to drink a little wine, especially some elderly people, who love drinking and don't drink anything.
Some people say that it is good for the elderly to drink a little wine with meals every day. The reason is: I'm in a good mood, and everything is fine. Even drinking can resist viruses, promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals. Is it true?/You don't say.
Scientists analyzed the data of nearly 700 studies in 195 countries and concluded that there is no safe dose of ethanol. In other words, it is wrong to say that a small amount of drinking is good for health.
The general metabolic capacity and organ function of the elderly are worse than those of the young. Many elderly people have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. In addition to aggravating the illness, drinking alcohol may also affect the metabolism of drugs.
Although some studies show that drinking the equivalent of 36 grams of alcohol every day can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure. But it increases the risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Therefore, it is not good for the elderly to drink alcohol. Only for the elderly who have no basic diseases and have drinking hobbies, how to drink alcohol can do the least harm to the body.
People who like to drink should remember the following four points:
(1) Try to drink at noon.
Alcohol can stimulate the brain to produce dopamine, endorphins and other happy components. Drinking too much at night will affect the nervous system and be bad for your health. Drinking less may make people more excited, but it is not conducive to rest and sleep. In addition, alcohol is high in calories, and the activity at night is less than during the day. Drinking alcohol is more likely to lead to obesity.
(2) Don't drink on an empty stomach
Drinking on an empty stomach will directly stimulate the gastric mucosa. Old people or young people are not advised to drink alcohol on an empty stomach.
(3) Don't drink hard liquor.
People with high alcohol content are more likely to drink too much, which is difficult to control and is more harmful to organs such as the liver. If you really like wine, you should drink some low-alcohol wine.
(4) Take medicine without drinking
If you have a basic disease, even the common cold, drinking alcohol is not recommended. Especially some cold medicines and antibiotics are not allowed to drink. Alcohol will also increase the burden of the elderly, reduce metabolic capacity, affect drug metabolism, and lead to side effects.
Wine is only an ornament of life, not an essential part. Old people can dance square dance, exercise and cultivate other hobbies. No matter when and how you drink it, it is not good for your health. If you really want to drink, you must control the amount and pay attention to the correct drinking method.
