Five Red Flags That Indicate You Should Stop Drinking Wine Right Away...
Wine has long been seen as a healthy kind of alcohol. The Mediterranean Diet, which has achieved great success, accepts it. Its antioxidants are thought to be advantageous for your heart health. Even Jesus drank it because it is so embedded in our society.
However, owing to the way the body responds to alcohol's chemical and addictive features, particularly wine, drinking may have certain detrimental impacts on one's health.
Ethanol, an organic chemical substance derived from plant sources and created by the fermentation of carbohydrates, is a component in alcoholic beverages. Despite being a psychoactive substance that may change mood, awareness, cognition, and behaviour, ethanol is often used as a fuel for vehicles, including certain rockets.
Here are a few warning signals to watch out for if your body is having a negative reaction to consuming a glass of wine, or any alcohol for that matter. Here is why even "light" drinking poses a risk to your heart health after that.
1. It's difficult for you to breathe.
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology states that wine is a substantial asthma trigger. The research found that wine was the most common cause for alcohol-induced asthma, which affected 33% of individuals and had mild to moderately severe symptoms. While additional study is required, scientists hypothesise that sulfites, a common preservative found in wine, may be the cause of wine-induced asthma. Salicylates, a chemical marker of grapes and wine, are also included in the paper as a potential contributor to wine-related allergy problems.
Here are some common foods that, according to a doctor, aggravate allergies.
2. You have a headache that hurts.
Yes, "wine headaches" do exist, but they aren't caused by sulfites, despite what the general public seems to believe about this specific illness.
According to Harvard Health, some people lack an enzyme necessary for the small intestine to break down histamine. Red wine contains more of the histamine substance that is present in grape skins than white wine does. Alcohol may actually hinder the enzyme, increasing blood levels of histamine, widening blood vessels, and bringing severe headaches.
3. Your head spins.
Even if you've previously referred to it as "the spins," it should serve as a sufficient cautionary tale to make you reconsider taking another drink. Numerous studies have previously shown that drinking alcohol—not only wine—can make you feel lightheaded, particularly if you've had too much to drink.
According to the American Addiction Centers, drinking may cause two types of dizziness: lightheadedness and vertigo. It's possible that you are experiencing the spins if drinking alcohol makes you queasy and makes you feel like you're about to fall out (lightheaded), or if you lose your equilibrium and feel as if your surroundings are moving around you without really moving (vertigo).
4. You have a flush.
It is referred to as an alcohol flush response and mostly affects the face. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), alcohol intolerance causes individuals to metabolise alcohol less effectively, which results in a flush, often known as red face. Hives, nausea, low blood pressure, deteriorating asthma, and migraine attacks might also be present along with a red face. Even an increased risk of cancer has been connected to it.
5 .You are reliant.
It may be necessary to speak with a physician or other medical expert regarding dependence if you discover that you require a glass of wine almost every single day.
According to the CDC, alcohol dependency is not necessarily associated with binge drinking; it may even occur when there has been a history of binge drinking. With "a strong appetite for alcohol, ongoing usage despite frequent drinking difficulties, and an inability to manage alcohol use," alcohol dependency is classified as a chronic medical illness.
According to the NIAAA, there is a significant risk of having an alcohol use disorder for any woman who consumes more than three drinks per day or seven drinks per week, or for any male who consumes four drinks per day or 14 drinks per week. Heavy alcohol usage is defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as binge drinking five or more days in a row.
