One of the most revered by men today, beer is certainly considered beer. Few people when watching a football or hockey match does without beer, and in the evening after work, men willingly skip a cup or two in a friendly circle. The beer market is almost daily replenished with new varieties and brands of this drink. It would seem that a low-calorie low-alcohol drink, really, really harm beer is the place to be.
Important! Although beer and refers to low-alcohol products - it's still alcohol, which has a pathological effect on the liver.
Action of beer on men
Experts have proved that beer can turn a man into a person of the fair sex. The fact that the intoxicating drink contains a large number of phytoestrogens - testosterone antagonists, reducing the production and action of the main hormone that makes a man a man. In addition, the harm of beer is caused by pathological changes in the parenchyma of the testicles and seminal cords. If representatives of the stronger sex drink beer in large quantities, then this is fraught with a significant reduction in erectile function. The pathologically low secretion of testosterone is the cause of poor sperm quality, which causes male infertility.
The man imperceptibly for himself harming beer causes a decrease in libido, there are situations when it is impossible to carry out a full sexual intercourse. Such confusions are becoming more frequent, and impotence is getting closer. Because of the action of phytoestrogens, the male appearance also changes: muscle mass and hairiness throughout the body decrease, but the hips, pelvis and pectoral muscles, on the contrary, increase. Gradually, the man is gaining weight, there is a "beer belly".The reason for this is easily digestible carbohydrates, contained in beer in quite significant quantities. Over time, a huge stomach begins to press on the vessels and provokes a violation of blood flow to the penis, causing erectile dysfunction.
Warning! Complex pathological changes in the male body, which develops against the background of the abuse of beer, promotes the development of cerebral hemorrhage, pulmonary edema and other irreversible complications.
Gradually in the body there is a violation of metabolic processes and hepatic function. The liver experiences constant overload and loses its ability to barrier functions. As a result, uncleared substances penetrate into the blood and poison the heart, kidneys and blood vessels. Along with this, men have reduced blood flow, pancreatic gland is broken, pathological conditions like diabetes, etc. develop.
Harm of beer is manifested in the syndrome of "bull" or "beer heart", when against the abuse of foam drink, the connective tissue proliferation in the walls of the myocardium,and the heart muscle itself is overgrown with fatty tissue. As a result, the volumes of pumped blood are reduced, the organs are not receiving oxygen and other nutrients. The man notices the appearance of rapid fatigue and unreasonable shortness of breath. All these changes lead to the development of ischemic disease, unstable pressure, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which is manifested by painful syndromes in the abdomen, heart and thorax, cough and shortness of breath, diarrhea and vomiting.
Suffers from the abuse of beer and the male stomach. The fermentation products and carbon dioxide contained in the beverage irritate the stomach walls, develop an increased acidity, then gastritis, ulcer and cancer.
A bit of beer benefit and the composition of the drink
Though it is a spoonful of honey in a barrel of tar, but there is still a benefit from beer. Researchers have proved that beer, thanks to the sedative action of hops, helps with insomnia. In addition, a glass of beer contains a similar amount of vitamins and trace elements, as in a glass of orange juice. The chemical composition of beer is diverse. The drink contains:
- Water;
- Carbohydrates;
- Ethyl alcohol;
- Nitrogen-containing substances;
- Mineral compounds like calcium and sulfur, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus and chlorine, iron, zinc, copper, etc.;
- Vitamins( thiamine, riboflavin, C, nicotinamide, folic acid, etc.);
- Organic acids( citric, acetic, pyruvic, oxalic, gluconic, etc.);
- Phenolic compounds.
Scientists have proved that a foamy drink, thanks to the rich content of potassium, is useful for hypertensive patients. In limited quantities, beer is good for men. It contains vitamin B-group compounds that support cardiovascular activity, normalize digestion and nervous system processes, and ensure normal thyroid activity.
Phenolic compounds present in beer prevent the development of stroke and heart attack, prevent thrombosis, normalize lipid metabolism. Citric acid speeds up the processes of urination, thereby preventing kidney stone formation.
Such an influence of intoxicating drink is provided only in case of its insignificant consumption in minimum doses. But if they are abused, the harm of beer becomes obvious.
What else is harmful to beer drinks
Any drink containing even a low amount of ethyl alcohol provokes the dependence of the organism, the result of which is beer alcoholism. In addition to influencing potency, heart, liver, and abuse of beer production, brain cells that are not subject to recovery are destroyed, which causes thirst and headaches in the morning, after the abuse of beer. A frequent consequence of such libations are memory impairments, down to failures. Systematic abuse of beer causes a significant decrease in intelligence, ability to learn. At the advanced stages of beer alcoholism in patients, too low self-esteem and symptoms of developing dementia are observed.
No less dangerous is the harm of beer for the nervous system, on which the intoxicating drink has an intoxicating, stupefying effect. Such an effect is associated with the psychoactive substances that make up the beverage. Over time, beer dosages begin to increase, which leads to alcoholic excesses. As a result of systematic abuse of beer in the body, the content of the most important trace elements and energy components falls. This is indicated by weakness in the limbs, arrhythmic manifestations, too dry skin, calf convulsions.
Important! If another 15-20 years ago, the reason for the infertility of the couple was mostly a woman, today about half of such families are unable to have a child because of male infertility, not the least role in which is the abuse of beer.
Under the influence of beer damage, the emotional and psychological background of a person changes: he begins to suffer from insomnia, becomes irritable, tearful, nervous. Suffer from the abuse of a frothy drink and digestive organs, a small amount of cobalt leads to toxic effects that cause gastrointestinal inflammation. The long-term abuse of beer causes the development of intestinal cancer, in some cases leading to a fatal end.
Specialists have proved that the damage to beer affects the liver. With the use of large volumes of beer production, a gradual increase in body size occurs, then fatty steatosis develops, gradually turning into alcoholic hepatitis. If a man continues to drink intoxicating beverages in the same amounts - alcoholic fibrosis sets in, when healthy liver tissue is replaced by a connective, which can cause irreversible effects. The final stage is hepatic cirrhosis. If, in the formulation of such a diagnosis, a man again continues to abuse alcohol, then within 5-year period, death occurs.
Beer alcoholism
About a similar disease they started talking not so long ago. But this form of alcoholism is characterized by rapid development. In this case, the harm of beer is obvious, because beer dependence develops four times faster than the dependence on strong alcohol. Due to the "low alcohol" foam drink, the craving for it does not cause much anxiety, so a serious dependence is found already in the late development of pathology. Doctors are sounding the alarm - teenagers already suffer from beer alcoholism, and often both sexes.
In general, such consequences of prolonged abuse of a foam drink for a male body have been scientifically proven:
- Infertility development;
- Impotence, erectile dysfunction;
- Cardiac dysfunction( myocardial dystrophy);
- Serious liver and kidney disease( hepatitis, pancreatitis, cirrhosis);
- Pathologies of the digestive system, up to gastric cancer;
- Brain cells are irretrievably destroyed.
In other words, the consequences of excessive beer drinking are much more dangerous than previously thought. The whole body suffers, and the heart muscle gets a double blow, because the intoxicating drink is used by men in large volumes, which cause the heart to pump blood with increased load. As a result, pressure jumps, a pathological left ventricular increase occurs, the heart muscle thickens, becomes flabby and begins to partially die.
Frequent visits to the toilet after drinking a lot of beer are not a procedure for cleansing the kidneys. Because of the addiction to beer production, the kidneys begin to function in overload mode, several times exceeding the usual amount of work. And this leads to sclerotic narrowing of the kidney vessels, which is fraught with hemorrhage, and then with a renal infarction leading to death.
Therefore, before you open a bottle of foam drink, you should seriously think about the colossal harm that will be caused to the body. After all, to communicate with real friends or watching a sports match, it's not at all necessary to drink a beer cistern.
