Smoking. Is drinking good for your health?

Smoking is definitely bad for your health, but drinking is basically harmless as long as you have a good sense of proportion. The following are the hazards of smoking and drinking:

Introduction to the hazards of smoking:

brain

Smoking can cause various brain diseases, reduce oxygen and blood circulation in the brain, lead to cerebral vascular bleeding and occlusion, and lead to paralysis, mental decline and stroke. The cause of stroke is that smoking leads to cerebral vasospasm, which makes blood coagulation easier. Smokers are twice as likely to have a stroke as nonsmokers.

laryngeal

Smoking can cause laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer patients are mostly male. Otolaryngology experts found that most smokers have hoarseness, which may be related to tar in smoke.

Heart and blood vessels

Studies have found that smoking can increase the viscosity of platelets in the blood, making it easier for blood to coagulate, thus easily forming thrombus in the coronary artery. At the same time, smoking will also increase the low-density cholesterol in the blood, making it easy for fatty substances to deposit in blood vessels and form coronary atherosclerosis. If the coronary artery hardens, its lumen will become thinner. Once the blood coagulates inside, the artery will be blocked. At this time, oxygen can not be sent to this part of the myocardium, and myocardial cells will fail and die due to lack of oxygen. This is a myocardial infarction. Local myocardial infarction can cause angina pectoris, while large-scale myocardial infarction can make people go into shock or die because of sudden cardiac arrest. This is acute myocardial infarction. Smoking will constrict blood vessels, slow down the circulation of blood and oxygen, and eventually lead to thickening of blood vessel walls, leading to coronary heart disease and stroke. Smoking will completely block the blood circulation of hands and feet, leading to amputation.

Doctors advise smokers to quit smoking immediately if they have high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, heart disease or family history of heart disease, because smoking will increase your risk of myocardial infarction by dozens of times. The death rate of heart disease caused by smoking accounts for 25% of the total. The prevalence of smokers over 50 has doubled. The prevalence rate of smokers under 50 years old increased 9 times, reaching 14 times.

Introduction to the harm of alcoholism;

Increase fat

The longer you get, the fatter you get. Three glasses of wine and the potato chips/pizza/kebabs you ate on your way home will add 0.25 kg (1/2 lbs) of fat to your body. Because your body will first consume useless calories (contained in alcohol) and then store the rest as fat.

Affect visual acuity

I blurred your vision. Alcohol will paralyze your eye muscles, which means that your eyes can't focus and calculate the distance correctly. At the same time, it also disturbs the normal operation of the brain coordination system, which means you can easily fall down.

Osteoporosis

Alcohol is related to osteoporosis (brittle bone disease), because excessive drinking will lead to the accelerated loss of nutrients in the body, which means that your bones are losing. Bone fragility-slows down the activity of bone growth cells in vivo.

Harm menstruation

Women who drink heavily are more prone to premenstrual discomfort because of the high sugar content of alcohol. This will disturb your blood sugar level and take away the nutrients you use to fight premenstrual discomfort.

Destroy the skin

Alcohol may make you look older, because alcoholism will dehydrate you, make your skin lose elasticity, accelerate aging and make you look like an old witch.

Increase pain

Alcohol is a sedative, that is to say, it first brings you to a near-perfect pink realm, and then suddenly pulls you back to the present, followed by depression.
