You already know that you are harming your liver.
But do you know all the ways alcohol harms your body? We reveal them to you today!
1. Premature aging
Alcohol is one of the worst and most aggressive compounds for destroying your skin. There is no doubt that excessive alcohol consumption causes your body to become dehydrated, and your skin, as the largest organ, will begin to suffer greatly if you leave your body dehydrated too often. Instead of being soft, it will begin to look cracked and wrinkled, making you look older to others.
2. Damaged hair
Dehydration not only affects your skin badly, but also your hair. Cracked and brittle hair will become your everyday life, as well as split ends. Also, frequent alcohol consumption is associated with zinc deficiency, and according to scientific data, 30-50 percent of people who have a problem with alcohol have low zinc levels, which can lead to hair loss. There is also a lower level of vitamins B and C and a higher level of estrogen.
3. Redness of the face and eyes
Drinking alcohol can make your face red, but not because your skin is trying to mimic the color of the colorful cocktails you love. This skin condition is called rosacea and can cause permanent damage. Namely, excess alcohol changes blood flow to the skin, leaving an unhealthy appearance for days after consumption. More precisely, it causes the dilation of the small blood vessels in the skin, allowing more blood flow near the surface, which can sometimes cause the capillaries on the face to burst. And not only does this make your face red, but your blood vessels in your eyes can become irritated.
4. Flatulence
When the body is deprived of fluids and electrolytes, it stores the water you drink and what you eat. The more alcohol you drink, the more often you need to go to the toilet, and you'll notice that you sweat more than usual. When certain fluids are not replaced, your body compensates by retaining water, which it still has, and this not only makes your gut look bloated, but also your legs, arms, face and other places on your body.
5. Hygiene problems
When you drink, it's easier for you to eat bad food, forget to take off your makeup, brush your teeth and the like. It's not a problem if it happens from time to time, but when it becomes a routine, you can be sure that various health and hygiene problems will start to appear.
6. Gaining weight
If you belong to the group of people who use alcoholic beverages as a way to relax from time to time, it is very likely that you will not have obesity problems because of it. But if you consume them more often, it has been scientifically proven that they really make you fat.
7. Fatigue
When you drink, you sleep poorly, and poor sleep, or lack thereof, greatly affects how you look in the morning. In addition, alcohol is the main enemy of motivation and productivity to even get out of bed in the morning, let alone to do something quality. When the body is properly rested, your immune system becomes stronger.
8. Bad smells
That bad smell, after a long night of drinking alcohol, has a lot to do with them. Namely, 10 percent of consumed alcohol leaves your body through breath, urine and sweat. Keep that in mind when you wake up next to someone the next morning, reports Index.
