DRINGKING ALCOHOL CAN PREVENT IMPOTENCE

However, it turns out that alcohol also has health benefits, but only if consumed in moderation. Excessive alcohol consumption can hinder the body's absorption of vitamins.
Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set a standard for alcohol consumption of no more than one glass per day.
Benefits of Drinking Alcohol for the Body
1. Improves Heart Health
A study in the European Heart Journal revealed that drinking alcohol within normal limits can cause the heart's arteries to dilate.
Furthermore, it was revealed that alcohol also improves blood flow to the heart, thereby eliminating various blockages.
2. Increases HDL Cholesterol Levels
Drinking alcohol made from grapes can increase HDL levels. This automatically protects blood vessels, especially those leading to the heart.
This is revealed in a statement from the American Heart Association (AHA), which essentially states that drinking alcohol in moderate amounts reduces the risk of coronary heart disease.
3. Can prevent the potential for cancer
Due to the presence of phenol compounds in alcoholic beverages, whose primary function is as antioxidants, bad cholesterol cannot be oxidized. Furthermore, phenol compounds can reduce the risk of cancer.
4. Reduces the risk of diabetes mellitus
A 2005 study from Diabetes Care revealed that drinking one drink of alcohol per day for women and two drinks for men reduces the risk of diabetes by 30%.
Alcohol triggers insulin sensitivity, stimulating the body (heart and liver) to use insulin to lower blood sugar levels.
Furthermore, levels of the hormone adiponectin increase, which can regulate blood glucose and fat levels.
5. Cognitive impairment can be prevented
Scientists from Loyola University have revealed the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. The risk of cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia is reduced by 23 percent.
Human brain cells will be stronger after drinking alcohol in moderate amounts.
6. Prevents gallstones
This disease occurs due to cholesterol deposits that harden like gravel. As I discussed previously, the benefits of alcohol improve blood flow, meaning there are no cholesterol deposits in our gallbladders, which can trigger gallstones.
7. Weight loss
Alcohol ranks second only to fat, with a nutritional content of 7 calories per gram.
A 2004 study from the University Hospital Ulm published its findings on two groups.
The first group was given 10% white wine consumption and the other group 10% grape juice. The results showed a weight loss of 4.37 kg in the white wine group and 3.75 kg in the grape juice group.
8. Relieves erectile dysfunction
A 2009 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine revealed the effect of drinking alcohol on sexual activity.
Researchers have revealed findings that erectile dysfunction can decrease by 25 to 30 percent in people who drink alcohol.
9. Prevents the Flu
Citing research published in the New York Times in 2002, it was revealed that if we consume 8-13 glasses of wine per week, the risk of contracting the flu can be reduced by 60%.
Dangers of Alcoholic Beverages
Consequently, alcohol consumption within reasonable limits, without becoming intoxicated or severely intoxicated, can help maintain health.
Conversely, excessive consumption can increase the risk of several diseases, such as:
1. Liver and kidney damage
2. Heart attacks
3. Brain and nervous system disorders
4. Anemia
5. Cancer
6. Seizures
7. Gout
8. Digestive problems
That's a brief overview of alcoholic beverages. Although they do have benefits, I strongly discourage their consumption.
