Alcohol consumption is common in many cultures, but its impact on health is becoming increasingly clear. Although the potential benefits of moderate consumption have been debated for years, recent research confirms that any amount of alcohol can have harmful effects on the body, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and liver damage.
Alcohol is metabolized into acetaldehyde, a toxic substance that damages DNA and contributes to tumor development. It also causes oxidative stress, damaging blood vessel cells and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Although red wine was once thought to be good for the heart, recent research has disproven that idea. In fact, any amount of alcohol can negatively affect heart health, raising blood pressure and promoting problems such as atrial fibrillation.
Alcohol is linked to multiple chronic diseases. In addition to cardiovascular diseases, it has been directly linked to the development of seven types of cancer, including liver, breast and colon cancer. It can also cause progressive damage to the liver, from fatty liver to irreversible cirrhosis.
Excessive consumption is not the only problem; even within recommended limits there are risks. Guidelines suggest no more than one drink per day for women and two for men, but studies show that even below these levels health problems can arise.
Also, you should not compensate by abstaining for several days and then drinking excessively on the weekend. Accumulated consumption affects the body, increasing the risk of illness and accidents.
Cutting back, even a little, can have big health benefits. If you drink less, you live longer. Consider reducing the amount or frequency with which you drink. Small changes can make a big difference to your well-being.
