Health Articles What Alcohol Does to Your Metabolism Breaking it Down for You Well, that's probably not what you would think about when you're on vacation. But, that is pretty much the process of metabolism. Whether it's with a hamburger you just ate or a sip of wine, any substance you put into your mouth has to be broken down into substances that your body can effectively use. Because alcohol is a toxic or poisonous substance to your body, your body has to work extra hard to break down the alcohol content and oxidize or detoxify the blood before it goes throughout the body. If you drink more than your body can metabolize at a given time, the alcohol will go throughout your body and affect your organs and brain. Woman to Woman "I'm a recovering alcoholic, so I know my experience isn't like the average woman who can drink without a problem," starts Dee Dee Allen of Washington, D.C. "But when I was drinking, I could easily down four drinks or three beers in an hour. That's the other thing; I mixed a lot of drinks. Once I got started, I was off to the races. As far as how it affected me physically, I truly believe it contributed to my high blood pressure. My pressure was always on the high borderline during my 20s, but when I gave up drinking, it has been normal and actually pretty good."

Alcohol Get The Facts: Alcohol affects your brain. Drinking alcohol leads to a loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowed reflexes, distorted vision, memory lapses, and even blackouts. Alcohol affects your body. Alcohol can damage every organ in your body. It is absorbed directly into your bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer. Alcohol affects your self-control. Alcohol depresses your central nervous system, lowers your inhibitions, and impairs your judgment. Drinking can lead to risky behaviors, including having unprotected sex. This may expose you to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases or cause unwanted pregnancy. Alcohol can kill you. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can lead to coma or even death. Also, in 1998, 35.8 percent of traffic deaths of 15- to 20-year-olds were alcohol-related. Alcohol can hurt you even if you're not the one drinking. If you're around people who are drinking, you have an increased risk of being seriously injured, involved in car crashes, or affected by violence. At the very least, you may have to deal with people who are sick, out of control, or unable to take care of themselves.

LEARN HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH ON NATIONAL ALCOHOL SCREENING DAY, APRIL 8, 2003 HHC operates 16 satellite screening sites in New York City New York, NY - For most adults, moderate alcohol use causes few, if any, problems. But for some, any alcohol use may lead to significant health problems. Trying to figure out the risks associated with alcohol use is not easy because alcohol affects your body differently at different times. To protect yourself, it is important to understand where you should draw the line when consuming alcohol, particularly if you have a family history of alcohol abuse. What's more, that limit can change over time and circumstances, such as if you are trying to get pregnant, if you develop a medical condition or if you take certain medications. To help determine where you should draw the line , the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) is offering free anonymous education and screening programs at as part of National Alcohol Screening Day, Thursday, April 8. HHC will operate screenings at sixteen (16) satellite sites.

Planetree Health Resource Center Health Links Support Groups To Your Health ... Health A to Z > To Your Health It's the holidays, and "to drink or not to drink" - is the age-old question. Recent health reports suggest "moderate amounts" of alcohol may help your heart. But many other studies confirm and underscore the well-documented threats of too much alcohol consumption. Just what is moderate drinking? For women, it is one drink per day. For men, it is two drinks per day. And, if you are over 65, it is back to one drink per day. Why the gender and age difference? Women metabolize alcohol differently from men so it takes less alcohol to raise a woman's blood alcohol level and the alcohol stays in the body longer. In other words, for women, a little goes a long way. Same for older folks. You may be wondering, what do we mean by a drink? One regular size bottle of beer, one 5 oz. glass of wine (slightly more than half a cup) or one shot of hard liquor (1.5 oz.) say the experts.

By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege Here is one research finding that most people want to hear: drinking a moderate amount of red wine each day appears to be beneficial for heart disease and may extend lifespan. Much of the benefit appears to be due to an antioxidant, resveratrol, found in grape skins and red wine. Resveratrol belongs to a family of compounds known as polyphenols, which are known to combat damaging free radicals in the body. It appears that resveratrol lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol while raising "good" HDL cholesterol and decreases the production of a protein that plays a major role in the development of heart disease.

Cat litter Smoking What better time to think about quitting smoking than when you are thinking about having a baby or are already pregnant? Smoking poses risks to a developing baby. Every time you inhale, the chemicals from the cigarette go into your lungs, into your bloodstream and across the umbilical cord into the developing fetus. As few as five cigarettes a day can cause problems for your baby. Studies have shown that babies born to women who smoked during pregnancy don't weigh as much as they should. You also run a higher risk of having your baby prematurely and having a baby who has more respiratory problems. Avoid secondhand smoke and never let anyone smoke in your house with your baby.

Wine, Alcohol and Your Health Wine is not only the oldest dietary alcoholic beverage but the oldest medicinal agent in continuous use throughout human history. The use of wine dates back more than 6,000 year with interest by physicians, scientists, poets and peasants. Even today, wine and other alcoholic beverages are classified as foods (it's the U.S.D.A.'s fifth food group) and is used daily in most cultures. More healthy benefits have been bestowed upon wine than any other natural substance. There are few known unhealthy effects from moderate amounts of alcohol consumption, with negative consequences seen mostly in heavy drinkers. Women are more susceptible to alcohol not only because of size, but due to the less amount of alcohol dehydrogenase in their stomach, which breaks down alcohol before it's absorbed. Once in the blood alcohol is destroyed in the liver. Most wine contains about 12% ethyl alcohol (ethanol), with only a very small percent of other types of alcohol. Sweet dessert wines may contain up to 20% alcohol. This compared to 40% (80 proof and 50% (100 proof alcohol in distilled products like vodka and gin. The pH of wine (its acidity) closely resembles that of a healthy stomach, one reason why wine improves digestion. Eating natural fats with wine slows the absorption of alcohol and protects the intestine from possible irritation. Wine also contains vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6 and niacin, as well as traces of most minerals, especially iron. Most red table wine contains significant amounts of iron in the easily usable ferrous form.
