July 14th, 2011

We all love a drink from time to time, some more than overs! Whether you like a few after work, go on all out binges every weekend or just have a few now and again, you are intelligent enough to know that there will be consequences. Here are 3 of them for you to consider.

Your Physical Appearance May Change.

Because alcohol drinks are so calorie dense, a lot of people who consume alcohol will notice some weight gain. Drinking alcohol will effect the circulation by expanding blood vessels. This causes the veins to thread, usually on your face, and a you may develop a purple, thick ‘drunks nose’. Heavy consumers of alcohol usually do not eat properly and alcohol also prevents the body from absorbing the nutrients it requires. This will manifest as bad skin, brittle dry hair and unhealthy looking nails. These are just some of the effects of alcohol.

You May Develop Diabetes

Most people who regularly drink alcohol are overweight which is a huge factor in developing diabetes. Although manageable, it is a commonly know fact that people with diabetes have a shorter life expectancy, will have restrictive diets and may have to inject themselves daily with insulin.

Problems with you Sexual Performance

Drinking too much will shrink your genitals and lower fertility. If you are pregnant or trying to conceive alcohol should be avoided at all costs. Being intoxicated will generally loosen inhibitions and cause poor judgement. Because of this you are less likely to use a condom and thus increase the chances of catching a STD.

2. Eat a healthy diet. A diet rich in vitamins, anti-oxidants and other essential nutrients will do wonders for your overall health, especially if you like to drink regularly.

Effect of Alcohol in Your Body Including Why it Relaxes Your Blood Cells and Increases Urination!

July 10th, 2011

Expert Author Alex Trem

First off alcohol makes your blood vessels expand which will make your blood flows start to increase in the center of your body to the surface of your skin. You start to feel warmer and for those with a pale skin you might actually start to turn pink. At the same time tiny amounts of alcohol actually oozes through your pores and even your breath will smell of alcohol. This is why you can usually smell someone that is intoxicated with alcohol very easily simply from smell. Think about it, someone who drinks a lot of orange juice or water does not necessarily have such a powerful smell related to what they just drank coming from them.

Of course one of the most well known benefit or problem, depending on your situation, from drinking a lot of alcohol that is well known is that when it reaches your brain it slows the transmission of impulses between your nerve cells that control your ability to think. This impairs your judgment and causes blurry vision and tongue twisting.

Anyone that often drinks alcohol will notice that they often have to go to the bathroom to urinate. This is because alcohol actually reduces production of antidiuretic hormones which is a chemical that helps your body not waste important vitamins in urine. So this makes your body lose a lot more liquid including vitamins and minerals that your body might actually want to have kept. The additional urine includes water, a much greater than usual amount of water, and is a reason why you often feel thirsty after or during the time were you drank alcohol.

These effects usually last until you body digests the alcohol. For the average Caucasian this is at around 1 glass (half an ounce) with men being able to digest it quicker than women. Your ethnicity and genes will also affect this rate of digestion.

Long Term Effects of Alcoholism on the Body

July 10th, 2011

When we think or our body we often forget that there are thousands of pieces working together just to get us through each day. From our fingertips to our brains, and back down to our toes, each piece works in unison with the others to formulate our daily health. Studies have recently been conducted to show the long term effects of alcohol on the body as a unit, and specifically, which pieces of the body are most effected. The results are quite shocking.

When individuals are facing alcoholism themselves, or witnessing it in others around them, they immediately think of the consequences that can be seen and touched. Very rarely does an alcoholic think beyond each day, therefore, the overall health of their body. Here are some of the top portions of the body and health that are effected in the long run, by alcohol abuse.

The most commonly known side effect is that of an individual’s liver and intestines. Most people joke that when somebody drinks too much, “you are going to have to get a new liver!” Unfortunately, the effects on the liver and intestines are quite intense; and liver transplants are sometimes the only answer. Effects such as liver disease, inflamed pancreas, internal bleeding and more can often not be spotted until the symptoms are severe.

The most visual effect that alcoholism has on the body, is to the skin. A yellowish color begins to appear on an individual that abuses alcohol. This connects to the prior effect, as this is the first sign that a person’s liver is damaged in some way. This yellowed tone is a pigmentation known as jaundice.

Another visual long term effect of alcoholism is an inflamed mouth area. As saliva thickens when using abusing alcohol, this is caused by a swelling that occurs due to infection and blockages in the salivary glands.

The center point for all things operational in the body – the heart – is greatly effected by long term use of alcohol. It has been proven that the heart is severely weakened by the abuses of alcohol.

When the heart is weak, there is great chance for blood clots, abnormal heart beats and the possibility of heart attack. As the heart also effects the remainder of the body directly, regarding blood flow and overall energy, there are a number of other symptoms that may occur overtime due to this weakness created within the heart.

Alcoholism is a serious issue facing a great number of people in the world today. It is always in the best interest of an alcoholic’s surrounding family and friends to contact a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for answers to questions, and assistance. It is never too late to help a friend or family member turn their life around, with respects to the abuse of alcohol or any other substance.
