Wine is one of the drinks with extremely high antioxidant content, especially red wine. Because grapes are fruits that contain a lot of polyphenols. Accompanied by a variety of compounds such as resveratrol, anthocyanins, catechins and tannins. These compounds have been shown to have anti-depressant properties and are good for the cardiovascular system. However, drinking too much wine comes with many health risks. Here’s what happens to your body if you drink a full bottle of alcohol.
Blood pressure rise
Drinking a full bottle of wine can increase both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association, wine will make your heart beat faster than normal by about 15 beats per minute. However, blood alcohol levels will drop below baseline after an evening of drinking. Rapid changes in blood pressure can increase the likelihood of a stroke, scientists say.
Slows down fat burning
The body always burns alcohol first. Therefore, when drinking alcohol with a meal, the body will not be able to process the fats, starches and proteins but will burn the alcohol. This will slow down the whole process of burning calories and fat, which can easily lead to weight gain. In a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , a group of men were given two alcoholic beverages. Hours later, the researchers tested their blood and found that the amount of fat the body burned had decreased by 73%.
Difficulty sleeping
A study of more than 4,000 participants found that those who drank alcohol reduced the quality of their sleep by up to 39.2%. According to scientists, although wine has a sedative effect, this benefit does not last long. Because when you metabolize alcohol for too long, your body becomes stimulated and feels like it’s woken up.
Stimulating appetite
Binge drinking promotes binge eating due to activity in the hypothalamus and other areas of the brain that regulate eating behavior. What’s more, drinking alcohol has been shown to enhance your sensitivity to food odors. In a UK study, men were given one of two choices: a non-alcoholic drink and an alcoholic beverage. The results showed that the men who drank alcohol consumed more food, about 30% after drinking.
Cause stuffy nose
The sulfites and histamines in wine, especially red wine, are common triggers for congestion, flushing, itching, and other allergic reactions. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, even one glass of alcohol can cause an allergic reaction, hives, redness, itchy eyes, and even difficulty breathing.
Nerve cells work more slowly
GABA is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Alcohol consumption increases GABA to the brain and causes neurons to work more slowly. This is reflected in the common slurred speech in drunken people. According to the American Center for Addiction, people who drink excessively are at risk of developing a language disorder. This is a medical term for a condition that is difficult to put into words. If you are addicted to alcohol regularly, this damage can be permanent.
Hearing loss
Drinking a full bottle of wine will throw the body off balance and slow down reaction time. Therefore, people who are drunk often have difficulty avoiding obstacles. Even hearing will become worse. The reason is that the amount of alcohol in the blood will damage the hearing cells in the cochlea. In addition, alcohol adversely affects the auditory cortex.
Low blood sugar
When drinking wine, the liver will become more busy because it has to remove the toxins in alcohol from the blood. This process lowers blood sugar; which in turn causes symptoms such as weakness, dizziness and heart palpitations. Therefore, people with diabetes or a history of low blood sugar are often advised not to drink alcohol.
