'More alcohol means less brain,' according to a study: Here's everything you need to know.
Work schedules are hectic, and domestic duties leave little time for oneself. Add in a slew of other variables that can appear out of nowhere and derail your day's remaining peace and tranquility. Such periods are quite likely to occur in everyone's life at some point, and how they are dealt with differs from person to person. If such periods linger for a long time, people may turn to a drink at the end of the day to help them cope with the stress and 'clear their heads.' It is, nevertheless, critical to understanding how alcohol works in order to relax.'It's basically a depressant that works by directly affecting the central nervous system. Alcohol, as a sedative, helps us rest by turning off the reasoning part of our brain, only to create withdrawal symptoms later due to the brain's desire to stay quiet even after the drowsy effect has worn off.Alcohol consumption can only provide brief mental or physical relief and is not a viable solution to any problem. Furthermore, the huge amounts of sugar present in it are harmful to one's health. These are 'empty calories,' which have no nutritious value and only increase the body's glucose levels. Alcohol has a number of negative consequences on physical health, including blood glucose imbalances and obesity. Alcohol intake has also been shown to have negative effects on mental health in a recent study. Dr. Kunal Sood, a Virginia-based interventional pain management specialist, recently took to Instagram to share a video of the procedure.
According to the study, drinking one drink per day can result in a smaller brain and faster ageing. Even though some alcoholic beverages, such as wine, provide health benefits for the skin, the ageing process, and heart health, excessive intake can cause more harm than good. Even increasing one's consumption by half a glass can result in a two-year delay in ageing. Heavy drinking was also linked to increased risks in terms of mental health, cognitive function, and changes in brain structure. Previous research has also found a correlation between changes in brain structure and alcohol usage, although it was focused on heavy drinkers. Light or moderate drinking was not linked to any significant impacts.
