Without being drunk, you will have better sleep, clear skin, weight
loss and sharp mind to start a new day.
Have better sleep
A recent
study published in the journal Alcoholism showed that drinking alcohol before bedtime
may increase alpha wave patterns in the brain- a state commonly seen when
you’re awake but actually you’re resting. As a result, your sleep will be
disrupted. Another review of 27 studies found that alcohol may help people fall
into sleep easily and deeply at first, but the state of heated-up body and a
broken sleep may occur right after that. Therefore, it can result in headache,
excessive thirst, dry throat and tiredness. It is advisable to avoid drinking
too much before bed for a fresh and sharp mind next day.
Consume less at dinner
According to
a study published in the American Journal of Nutrition, alcohol is considered
as one of the biggest factors of excessive food intake. Alcohol can stimulate
the senses and promote appetite. Researchers discovered that when women drank
alcohol, the brain’s activity in the hypothalamus became more sensitive to the
smell of food, prompting them to eat more.
Lose weight
Alcohol is a
sneaky factor for your increased daily calories that you even cannot realize.
The amount of alcohol consumed every day has 300-450 calories. Therefore, if
you want to lose weight without much effort or stay fit, remove alcohol and
don’t replace it with desserts in your diet.
Have clearer complexion
Alcohol is a
diuretic causing frequent urination. Your body will lose water more quickly
that make your skin dry. Within a few days of no alcohol, you will feel a
smooth and hydrated skin.
Reduce the risk of cancers
According to
the National Cancer Institute in America, alcohol use has been linked to the
risk for cancers of mouth, liver, breast, colon and rectum. On the other hand,
many studies have figured out a moderate alcohol intake may reduce
cardiovascular diseases. Drinking a glass of wine in your meals instead of
being drunk can bring many health benefits.
