When we put aside the societal cost to families and the public at large due to alcohol abuse, the carnage drinking wreaks on our roads, the excessive consumption of alcohol comes at a great cost physically and psychologically, managing alcohol intake effectively has many health benefits!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">According to the US National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the negative effects of alcohol abuse include brain damage, heart damage, liver damage, pancreatic disorders, an increased risk of certain cancers, and a weakened immune system that opens regular or binge drinkers to disease. In addition, the term \u201cabuse\u201d can include infrequent periods of binge drinking, not just alcoholism. <\/span><span

another side to alcohol, when consumed in moderation. It can be a social facilitator, when used responsibly it helps people to unwind and relax. Research has shown that we can also derive positive health effects from drinking in moderation, people who consume alcohol moderately, live longer than those who do not drink at all and often experience other benefits.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For example, results from the Nurses&#8217; Health Study published in New England Journal of medicine in 2005, which looked at the health of 11,000 older women, showed that moderate drinkers (those who consumed about one drink a day) lowered their risk of mental decline by as much as 20%, compared to non-drinkers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There is also evidence that shows that certain forms of alcohol are more beneficial than others. For example, the health benefits that can be derived from moderate wine consumption, defined by the American Heart Association as one to two 120ml glasses a day, include a 34 percent lower mortality rate among wine drinkers than beer or spirits drinkers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-145160 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47.png 650w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/47-300x126.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Drinking Guidelines\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you have hypertension or any pre-existing heart condition, always consult your physician about your drinking habits, especially if you plan to drink in excess! In addition, for the sake of your waistline, avoid the high-calorie, sugar-laden mixers, ciders, sugary alcohol, wherever possible. While these options are tasty, often refreshing pre-made cocktail drinks are the perfect sundowner or poolside accoutrement, many of these drinks contain more than 200 calories per serving. That is reason enough to avoid them, let alone their excessive sugar content.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It is also worth mentioning that a few alcoholic beverages can weaken your resolve and lower your inhibitions, which means you are more likely to drink in excess and make poor food choices, among many other potentially embarrassing things. Before you know it, you have had four or five drinks, and have made a few rounds to the snack table. So, be prepared with healthy pre-packed food options that you can snack on when you get hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In terms of your drink selection, your preferred spirit with either a sugar-free mixer, or still or sparkling water and ice. Avoid fruit juice or carbonated drinks wherever possible. By selecting these options, you will keep your calorie count down while still enjoying all the social and health benefits of an enjoyable and relaxing time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Disclaimer<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> &#8211; Urban Wellbeing and its associates offers health and fitness information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.\u202f\u202f You should consult your physician or general practitioner before beginning a new fitness program.\u202f You should not rely on this information as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.\u202f If you have any questions or concerns about your health, you should always consult with a physician, general practitioner, or other qualified healthcare professional.\u202f Do not disregard, avoid or delay obtaining medical or health related advice from your healthcare professional because of something you may have read on our publications or lectures.\u202f The use of information provided though the urban wellness service is solely at your own risk and is not medical or healthcare advice.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Article References:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Arial Nova\" data-listid=\"14\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:1,&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Arial Nova&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Esser MB, Leung G, Sherk A, Bohm MB, Liu Y, Lu H, Naimi TS.\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/article.aspx?doi=10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.39485&amp;utm_campaign=articlePDF%26utm_medium=articlePDFlink%26utm_source=articlePDF%26utm_content=jamanetworkopen.2022.39485\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Estimated deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use among US adults aged 20 to 64 years, 2015 to 2019<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u202f<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">JAMA Netw Open<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202f2022;5:e2239485.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Arial Nova\" data-listid=\"14\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:1,&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Arial Nova&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/resources\/2020-2025-dietary-guidelines-online-materials\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">2020 \u2013 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202f9th Edition, Washington, DC; 2020.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Arial Nova\" data-listid=\"14\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:1,&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Arial Nova&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">World Health Organization.\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789241565639\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Global status report on alcohol and health\u20142018<\/span><\/i><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.
