After quitting drinking, my body experienced 5 changes. After reading them, I made an important decision

There are many people who love to drink, and there are many family conflicts caused by drinking. Many women may have experienced this situation: it is past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the man is still drinking outside. She calls him again and again to urge him to go home, but he still hasn't come home by 12 o'clock. During the waiting time, anger accumulates in her heart, and when the man comes home, there is often another quarrel.

Quarrels affect relationships, and after countless quarrels and disappointments, a woman's determination to divorce will become stronger. At this time, if a man cannot stop drinking, the family may disintegrate. For the sake of family harmony, many men also choose to quit drinking when they are forced to do so.

As a wife, the main reason why I don't like my husband to drink is related to the harm caused by alcohol. As long as it is alcohol, whether it is high-end red wine or ordinary beer, it contains a certain amount of alcohol. The alcohol contained in alcohol has long been included in the list of carcinogens, and it is still a class 1 carcinogen. In other words, there is definite evidence to prove that alcohol can cause cancer.

Drinking alcohol increases the risk of liver cancer, and many people have developed liver cancer because of it. The famous singer Zang Tianshuo left us because of liver cancer, and the reason is also closely related to long-term excessive drinking. Alcohol enters the stomach through the mouth, and the gastric mucosa is often washed by alcohol and is in a damaged state. On the basis of gastric mucosal damage, many people do not quit drinking, but often continue to drink, which makes it easy to develop precancerous lesions such as intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa, which also increases the risk of gastric cancer.

Long-term excessive drinking is also a major risk factor for high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke. At the same time, drinking alcohol increases the risk of gout. Gout is an incurable disease. Once you have gout, you will have a "love-hate relationship" with gout for the rest of your life. There has long been a conclusion about alcohol. The Lancet, a top international medical journal, once published an article pointing out that even drinking a small amount of alcohol can cause harm to your health, and the number of people who die from drinking alcohol each year has exceeded 3 million worldwide.

After seeing these data and information, and thinking about your family, you should also quit drinking. You can't lose your health and your family at the same time? As long as you quit drinking, you can have both health and family, and your family will be more harmonious. After quitting drinking, some changes will occur in your body, and these changes are worth putting down your glass.

1Smooth skin and acne disappears

People who drink alcohol for a long time have rough skin and often get acne. Some people are already in their forties, touching the acne that appears every now and then, and jokingly call themselves puberty stunted. In fact, the culprit is the alcohol in the drink.

Alcohol in alcoholic beverages will accelerate the loss of moisture in the skin after entering the human body, causing the skin to become hypoxic. At the same time, alcohol will also cause damage to the immune system and endocrine system disorders. Drinkers will experience dry skin, increased spots and wrinkles, and acne all over the skin.

2 Blood pressure gradually returns to normal

When some people drink, they say that drinking alcohol can lower blood pressure, and this statement is also popular among drinkers. In fact, drinking alcohol does not lower blood pressure at all. On the contrary, drinking alcohol can induce high blood pressure. Alcohol will dilate blood vessels when it first enters the human body, which can also lower blood pressure. However, this effect is short-lived, and then the blood vessels begin to contract again, the vascular resistance gradually increases, and the blood pressure rises sharply, causing high blood pressure.

Epidemiological surveys have found that long-term excessive drinking is a risk factor for hypertension, especially drinking strong liquor, which is more likely to induce hypertension. After quitting drinking, the effect of alcohol on blood pressure will continue for a period of time. However, after completely quitting drinking for one or two years, blood pressure will gradually return to normal, reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.

3. Have a good sleep and sleep till dawn

After drinking, many people will fall asleep on the bed. Because of this situation, many people with poor sleep prefer to drink, thinking that drinking can improve sleep. In fact, sleeping soundly after drinking is just a temporary paralysis of the brain caused by alcohol, rather than a real promotion of sleep. When you wake up, you may still feel that you have not slept enough and are not refreshed. Instead, you feel tired and your body will feel more exhausted.

Drinking alcohol does not improve sleep quality, but reduces it. The reason is that acetaldehyde will cause dehydration after entering the human body, which is why you feel thirsty after drinking. Because of thirst, you need to drink alcohol, and you will urinate frequently. As for the quality of sleep, you can imagine what it is like. After quitting drinking for a year, you will find that you have never slept so soundly before.

4 Reduce gastric diseases and enhance gastrointestinal function

Many people have gastrointestinal problems due to drinking. Some people vomit blood after drinking, and the culprit is the alcohol in the wine. The alcohol in the wine is the only substance that can be absorbed by the stomach after water. Twenty percent of the wine we drink is absorbed by the stomach. Even if you have taken protective measures when drinking, alcohol will continue to wash the gastric mucosa, gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia, atypical hyperplasia and other precancerous lesions.

If you drink on an empty stomach, 90 minutes after drinking, blood alcohol will reach its peak, at which time 80% of the alcohol will be absorbed by the small intestine, causing digestive ulcers or gastroenteritis. After two years of quitting drinking, you will feel that your intestines and stomach have stronger vitality and are working vigorously.

5. Enhanced liver vitality

It is a well-known fact that drinking alcohol can damage the liver. Even drinking a small amount of alcohol can damage liver cells. From fatty liver to cirrhosis, and from cirrhosis to liver cancer, it takes a long time, perhaps ten years, twenty to thirty years or even longer. The emergence of liver cancer is inseparable from long-term excessive drinking. Alcohol has long been listed as a carcinogen, and it is a Class I carcinogen.

The harm of drinking to the liver is a long-term process, and after quitting drinking, the liver function wants to gradually recover, which may be a long process. For people who have been drinking for more than ten years, it takes two to three years for the liver to recover. After three years of quitting drinking, people who quit drinking will feel that their liver vitality has increased and the liver function has become stronger.

The process of quitting drinking is a painful and long process. During this process, you may feel restless, panic, headache, fatigue and other physical dependence symptoms. Although excessive alcohol dependence can be cured through surgery, we still hope that drinkers can achieve the goal of quitting drinking through their own persistence. As friends and family, we should also encourage and help them, hoping that more people can successfully quit drinking!
