A glass of wine a day, live to ninety-nine?

Wine culture can be said to be an indispensable part of China's traditional culture, and many masterpieces are inseparable from the role of wine. "The sober and sages of the old days are forgotten, and only drinkers can keep their names." "Enjoy a glass of wine while you are still alive! Don't care if your reputation will be passed down! ? ""Three glasses of light wine. How can you beat him when he comes late? " Song Wu fights tigers to drink, and flirting between men and women is also inseparable from wine. Gulong's wine is even more fascinating. In short, a toast is long and the sun and the moon are long.

At present, we are fortunate to live in a prosperous era. In the soil of traditional liquor culture, a liquor stock of 1.8 million yuan was born, and liquor enterprises with a trillion yuan were no longer alone.

Here, aside from wine culture, we only talk about health problems related to wine.

In various public places, most of us can see the sign that smoking is harmful to health. What about drinking? Is it reliable to say that "a glass of wine a day can live to ninety-nine" and "a big wine hurts the body and a small wine delights the heart"?

There has been a lot of data to analyze the health benefits of drinking a little wine regularly. I searched online and listed the following benefits that are often touted: regular drinking can enhance heart function and make the heart slow and powerful; Can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and reduce the possibility of blood vessel rupture; Can enhance muscle strength, strengthen legs and feet, bones and muscles, and make joints flexible; Can promote human blood circulation and metabolism; Will eliminate the ischemic symptoms of the heart or lower blood pressure; Make the human body eliminate fatigue, feel happy and relieve palpitation; Drinking alcohol can reduce the accumulation of triglycerides and cholesterol on the arterial wall, and also reduce the chance of transforming blood sugar into triglycerides; Drinking can reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat and maintain the beauty of the human body; Drinking alcohol can reduce the formation of thrombus and the possibility of myocardial infarction; Drinking alcohol will reduce the production of hormones, and too much adrenaline will cause arterial diseases.

What is the truth?

The announcement of the World Health Organization is that drinking alcohol is harmful to health. Drinking causes more than 200 diseases, and more than 3 million people die every year.

Let's take a look at the metabolic map of alcohol first:

When ethanol enters human body, it will generate acetaldehyde under the action of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and then it will be catalyzed by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) to generate acetic acid. Blushing after drinking may be due to the lack of enzymes that metabolize ethanol in the body, which leads to excessive accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, and acetaldehyde can cause blood vessels to dilate and make the face red.

If the gene controlling acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) is deleted, acetaldehyde, an intermediate metabolite of alcohol, cannot be converted into acetic acid, and excessive acetaldehyde will increase the incidence of cancer if accumulated in human body for a long time. Studies have shown that nearly half of the people in China lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). Chen Zhehong said that taking the population survey in Taiwan Province Province as an example, the deletion rate of ALDH2 gene is about 47%, ranking first in the world.

Let's take a look at two heavy studies published by the top international magazine Nature in recent years. 2065438+20081October 3, an article published by JuanI. Studies by Garaycoechea and others show that acetaldehyde, a metabolite of alcohol, can lead to a large number of hematopoietic stem cell mutations. After drinking, the number of DNA mutations in mice with ALDH2 gene deficiency was four times that of the control group.

201810.3, the paper of krodt et al. shows that drinking alcohol causes cancer.

Recently, a European magazine published a study on100000 Koreans, specifically investigating the drinking situation. Compared with the incidence of atrial fibrillation, people who drink alcohol every day are more than 40% more than those who drink alcohol twice a week, but there is no risk of atrial fibrillation if they don't drink alcohol.

How about drinking less wine? Didn't you say that wine is good for feelings?

In 2004, an Italian scholar published a survey literature, summarizing 14 cases of diseases and injuries such as drinking and tumor published in recent 30 years. The results show that even if only 25 grams of alcohol is consumed every day, the risk of various diseases will increase.

The risk of oral cancer and pharyngeal cancer increased by 82%, laryngeal cancer increased by 43%, esophageal cancer increased by 39%, chronic pancreatitis increased by 34%, breast cancer increased by 25%, and cirrhosis increased by 1.9 times.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the United States urgently stopped a clinical trial to prove that drinking a small amount of alcohol every day is good for health, because two-thirds of the $654.38 billion needed for the trial was provided by major wineries ...... eating people is too soft and taking people too short. How convincing can the experiment be?

Therefore, drinking large and small wines, as long as they are often drunk, is harmful to health. A few years ago, in the world-renowned medical journal The Lancet, the global disease burden research group found that drinking alcohol can not bring any health benefits, and the statement that moderate drinking is beneficial simply does not exist! Moreover, drinking is one of the main killers of young and middle-aged men (15-49 years old) in the world!

People who smoke and drink in life often retort that many people who drink and smoke live to be eighty or ninety years old, and many people who don't smoke and drink live to be sixty or seventy years old. Here, we must understand the fact that human health or longevity is largely determined by our own genes, followed by acquired living habits and medical and health conditions. This involves the longitudinal comparison of the human body or the horizontal comparison with others. We should compare with others, not with others. Just like some cars are Lexus and some cars are domestic QQ. The same car, the factory quality is unparalleled. But the same car, carefully maintained and worn at will, has a different life.

If Mr. Gu Long doesn't drink, I don't know how many martial arts masterpieces will remain in this world. Alas!

Calling for Song one after another, how many days do we have? A: There are only a few days left.
