Many people drink, the skin on their face and body will turn red, especially Asians. In this regard, many people think that drinking to blush is to walk the liver rather than the kidney, which is not a big deal. Some even think that people who drink red face are sociable. However, Lu Bingjiu, director of the infectious diseases department of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of traditional Chinese medicine, said there was no scientific basis for saying that drinking red led to liver and kidney.
Lu Bingjiu introduced that drinking blush is the blood vessel movement center, the blood vessel wall receptor is sensitive to the alcohol reaction and produces. The main component of alcohol is ethanol, and acetaldehyde is the main intermediate product of ethanol. It has the function of dilating capillaries. As soon as the facial capillaries expand, people will blush. But people who drink red face lack of aldehyde dehydrogenase, so the body quickly accumulates acetaldehyde and can't metabolize slowly. Therefore, the face will be red for a long time, but the red color will gradually fade after 1-2 hours. In addition, there is a kind of people drinking will also blush and accompanied by pruritus, which is a reflection of alcohol allergy. Lu Bingjiu said that it is not harmful for the general people to drink and blush, but it is better not to drink if they are allergic, especially those with allergic constitution, which may lead to throat edema and life-threatening in severe cases.
For people who drink and blush, how to quickly relieve alcohol?
First of all, before drinking, you must eat something 'bottom', avoid drinking on an empty stomach, which can slow down the absorption rate of alcohol. Fasting drinking, will make gastrointestinal and liver in unprotected state, great harm to the body. Second, eat foods rich in B vitamins, because B vitamins can enhance alcohol tolerance in the liver. In the process of drinking more vitamin B foods, can effectively play a role in preventing drunk.
In addition, after drinking, if you feel headache, you can eat some fruits rich in vitamin C and diuretic effect, such as watermelon, which can help to discharge alcohol. About 10% - 20% of alcohol in human body is excreted from the body through respiration and sweat. People who talk a lot after drinking tend to stay awake more easily than people who talk less because of their frequent breathing. Therefore, more words on the table, more children's songs, activities from time to time away from the table, also help to relieve alcohol.
