Doctor explains why wine and cognac can be beneficial
Any alcohol destroys the body. Even a minimal amount of alcohol has a negative effect on human health.
Nutritionist Anastasia Sumarokova spoke in more detail about the benefits and harms of alcohol, reports Gazeta.Ru .
The most dangerous alcoholic drinks are those that are "bubbly". The whole problem is in the combination of sugar and carbonation.
For example, champagne, if combined with food, provokes fermentation and rotting of food, and the gastrointestinal mucosa suffers.
You should also give up beer. If a man often chooses the intoxicating drink, then his level of female hormones increases, and as a result, fat deposits begin to accumulate. Women also have a side effect - an increased amount of male hormones. As a result - obesity.
Alcoholic cocktails contain a lot of sugar and put too much strain on the liver.
The specialist also noted drinks that contain a lot of additives. If the product contains extracts of various herbs, ethyl alcohol and aromatic oils, then the liver will ultimately suffer from overload.
If we talk about less harmful drinks for health, then wine is in first place. This product contains an element that kills a number of bacteria dangerous to the body, including those that destroy tooth enamel. The drink will have a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels, and wine will also improve digestion. But the benefit will only be with a minimal amount of wine.
Sumarokova recommended choosing dry or semi-dry wine. A man can drink up to 150 ml per day, and the norm for a woman is two times lower.
The doctor also told about the benefits of cognac. The drink has a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels and immunity. But you can't drink more than 80 ml.
