Our Chinese wine culture has a long history. Drinking is essential in social gatherings and work-related occasions. As the saying goes: “A little wine cheers you up, too much harms your health.” Excessive alcohol consumption can easily lead to health issues and damage the liver, which is not beneficial for the body.
For male friends who abstain from alcohol for a long time, what changes might their bodies undergo? Let’s explore. If a man stays away from alcohol for a long time, he may experience some unexpected surprises.
Here are three good things that may happen to men who abstain from alcohol, which might come as a pleasant surprise:
1. Liver function repair: It is well known that “drinking hurts the liver”. Excessive alcohol consumption in daily life can cause serious damage to the liver because alcohol is metabolized through the liver. By abstaining from alcohol for a while, men can potentially reduce liver damage and improve liver function, allowing the liver to recover gradually.
2. Lowered blood pressure: Prolonged excessive drinking can lead to a drastic rise in blood pressure as alcohol stimulates the blood vessels. However, abstaining from alcohol may protect blood vessels and help reduce cholesterol levels in the body, stabilizing blood pressure levels and benefiting overall health.
3. Increased appetite: Many men often engage in work-related drinking activities, especially in the evenings, which can damage the digestive system. Persisting in not drinking alcohol may help reduce damage to the digestive system and aid in its recovery, leading to a better appetite.
4. Decreased blood lipids: Excessive drinking can lead to a rise in body temperature due to the excess heat generated. This can result in elevated blood lipids over time, affecting overall health. By avoiding alcohol consumption, men may lower their blood lipid levels, prevent various cardiovascular diseases, and protect their health.
