With the altered lifestyle which
now consists of high consumption of alcohol and poor diet intake has lead the
people to develop a number of unrelenting physical and mental conditions. The
statistics are not really good at all depicting a huge of amount of population
in the nation suffering from alcohol related health issues. Here is how this
damage is caused.
Health Issues related to Alcohol Abuse…
Excess of everything is indeed
harmful. The same holds true for alcohol as well. The excess intake of alcohol
causes the blood vessels in the stomach to absorb it which is carried to the
body and brain through the blood. This can eventually result in irreversible
injuries to the body and at times death. The primary parts that are affected and
are at risk are heart and livers, other problems may be gastrointestinal
disorders, peptic ulcers and increased blood pressure.
In addition to the effects on the
body that may result in cancers of throat, liver, stomach and mouth, the
repeated and excessive consumption may also cause neurological impediments
similar to that of Alzheimer’s also known as alcohol dementia.
Alcohol Prevention and Solution…
Diagnosis of alcohol related
health issues is done through a series of tests to determine the severity of
the damage. Alcohol generally leaches nutrients from several vital functions of
the body. Hence the nutritional loss can be balanced by consuming the right
vitamin supplements. For instance, an alcohol related disease called korsakoffs syndrome is caused mainly
due to the deficiency of vitamin B1 in the brain, thus a balanced diet can
effectively help to reduce the effects of alcohol.
The best solution is to stop the
alcohol intake and begin to follow a healthy diet. However if the patient has
reached a critical condition in which reversing cannot be accomplished, and
then it is ideal to halt the further development. Caring for such individuals
can be a little challenging task; however this is facilitated by care homes who
are dedicated to care for patients with alcohol related injuries.
