This video is for us to be cautious.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Yes, it is for us to think twice before getting intoxicated during this holiday season. Alcohol is also called ethyl alcohol or ethanol. It is made from grains, fruits or veggies through a process called fermentation- when yeast or bacteria react with the sugars in such food and the by-product is ethanol and carbon dioxide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Sri Lankans in the villages drink a fermented product from potatoes and other fruits called \u201cKasippu\u201d very toxic to the liver. One gram of alcohol has 7 calories, which is more than one gram of carbs having 4 calories, proteins -4 calories and fat has 9 calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">A 12 ounces regular beer has 14 grams of pure alcohol. What this means is that one beer drink puts on 14 into 7 calories- amounting to 98 Cals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">This is how you could account for the beer bellies, seen in the way-side pubs.This is all empty calories from beer drinking which is stored in the belly as visceral fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">A standard drink of alcohol is defined as 12 oz. of regular beer, 5 oz. of wine and 1.5 oz of spirits. What this means is that a standard serving sizes of all alcoholic beverages- beer, wine, and liquor- are equal in alcohol, strength and effect on the body.\u00a0 So habitual drinking does put on weight which will affect your health and wellbeing. Alcohol enters the blood stream from the mouth and rest of the gut without burning extra calories. So, alcohol provides empty calories which is stored without the body using extra calories to break down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">On the other hand, the food you eat has a \u2019thermic effect\u2019 meaning that energy is used to digest our food in the gut, and no energy is used for any breakdown of alcohol you drink. Did you know that drinking cool water uses about 5 calories to make it warm in your stomach?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">So, if you are thinking of maintaining a healthy weight, it is advisable to drink cool water more than warm water.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">How the liver treats alcohol?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">When digested food and alcohol enters the liver through the portal veins, the latter being a toxic molecule, the liver seem to prioritize metabolizing alcohol first, before metabolizing the food you eat. Liver can only metabolize and clear alcohol at the rate of an ounce liquor per hour. In a standard drink of alcoholic beverage contains 14 grams of pure alcohol, equivalent to 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol, which is about \u00bd tablespoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">What this implies is that if you drink more than two drinks of alcoholic drinks you will feel tipsy within the first hour.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Your brain feels the alcohol within thirty seconds after the first sip. This will slow down the chemicals and pathways your brain cells use to send messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">This will alter your mood, slow down your reflexes and may feel unsteady. It will affect your driving and your reflex actions may not be prompt in an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Alcohol drops your blood sugar<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Insulin in your blood stream couriers the sugar to its destinations like the liver, muscles and fat cells for storage and produce energy for metabolic activities. Liver stores the sugar as glycogen. It also controls the blood sugar level. Alcohol consumption causes an increase in insulin secretion, which can lead to lowering of blood sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">It is also observed that moderate amount of alcohol may cause blood sugar to rise,as beer and sweet wine contains carbs, though excess alcohol can decrease your blood sugar level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Uncontrolled diabetics should be very careful in drinking alcoholic beverages, as they may cause your blood sugar to either rise or fall, in addition to adding calories to affect your body weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">What this means is that people with diabetes can have an occasional drink if your blood sugar is well controlled with medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">You need to check with your doctor to see if drinking alcohol is safe for you. Drinking alcohol stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your sugar control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Alcohol can affect and interfere with the positive effects of oral diabetes medicines or insulin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Alcohol tends to increase your blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Do not drink more than two drinks of alcohol in a one-day period if you are a man, or one drink if you are a woman. (Example: one alcoholic drink = 5-ounce glass of wine, 1 1\/2-ounce &#8220;shot&#8221; of liquor or 12-ounce beer).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Drink alcohol only with food.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Drink slowly.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Avoid &#8220;sugary&#8221; mixed drinks, sweet wines, or cordials.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080; font-size: 24px;\">Mix liquor with water, club soda, or diet soft drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Alcohol affects your brain cells<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If you drink heavily regularly your brain cells gets smaller and shrink the brain. Shrunken brain may influence your thinking, memory, learning, and affect your control of body temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Should you drink alcohol to sleep? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">After a hard day\u2019s work, you may feel okay to have a small drink to wind down.Alcohol\u2019s slow-down effect on your brain can make you drowsy, so you may doze off more easily. It will unwind you, but you won\u2019t sleep well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Your body processes alcohol throughout the night and when the effect goes off, you may toss and turn in your bed and keeps you awake. Your mouth would be dry by morning after even a small drink. Keep a bottle of water with you and sip it every time you wake, and you may feel fresh in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Alcohol on the stomach<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If you suffer from indigestion, be cautious of drinking alcohol. Alcohol irritates your stomach lining, and you may feel nauseated and you may throw up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Drinking alcohol for a long time can cause stomach ulcers. If you suffer from heart burn, drinking alcohol relaxes the muscles that prevent acid juice refluxing into the gullet, and you may suffer from worse heart burn. You may not absorb all the nutrients you need for your wellbeing and health, drinking regularly for a long time.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">You may become malnourished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Your small gut and colon also get irritated. Your food may not be digested properly and may lead to lose motions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Alcohol leads to liver damage<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">A drink of alcohol may take the liver 6 hours to get rid of it from your blood.Your second drink meanwhile remains in your blood waiting to enter the liver.Your third drink may be in queue after the second and may take over 12 hours to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">enter your liver from your blood to break down.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Now you can understand why RBT is on action, the morning after, to catch that third drink, and inevitably you will be over the limit. Heavy drinking causes a fatty liver and become hard or fibrous. That limits blood flow, so liver cells don\u2019t get enough oxygen required for the liver cells to survive. Liver cells can get scarred and lead to a disease called cirrhosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff00ff;\">Are you a poor methylator?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Alcohol you consume needs to be detoxified in the liver through a biological process <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">called, \u2019methylation\u2019 A gene called MTHFR plays a key role in methylation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If this gene is deficient in your body detoxification of alcohol is slow and you may<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">have a severe hang over the next morning<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">To combat that holiday hangover, MTHFR activity can be enhances by taking-<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">\u2022 Eating veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">\u2022 Taking Vitamin D, E and B<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">\u2022 Supplementing melatonin<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Stay well hydrated after drinks.
