Many people have doubts about whether it is good or not to drink and blush. Although it is said that drinking less wine can promote blood circulation and Qi, for some people, they blush as soon as they drink, so they still drink less!
The lack of aldehyde dehydrogenase in people who easily blush after drinking will lead to the accumulation of a large amount of acetaldehyde in the body, which will make the liver decompose slowly and aggravate the burden on the liver. However, compared with those who don't blush after drinking, the advantage of blushing after drinking is that as long as they have a red face and say that they have reached the limit, ordinary people will no longer persuade them to drink, and the alcohol they have consumed can be decomposed by sleeping for one night, which is not the biggest harm to human body. If you don't blush after drinking, but you lack two kinds of enzymes in your body, this kind of people tend to eat more alcohol than they can bear, and the burden on your liver will be more heavy than you think.
Drinking and blushing is not a bad thing. It indicates that you have a genetic defect. Many people judge whether they should continue to drink according to whether they are drunk or not. Some people even think that after a period of exercise, it will be ok if the amount of alcohol increases. These are wrong. In fact, people who are not good at alcohol will drink more alcohol after exercise, which will lead to the accumulation of more acetaldehyde in the body and cause more harm. Therefore, people who drink and blush are better not to drink or drink less, not only to prevent esophageal cancer, but also for many diseases.
What's the matter with drinking and blushing? The reason for drinking and blushing is that there is a genetic defect in the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol, resulting in the accumulation of toxic acetaldehyde in the body, causing vasodilation and blushing reaction. People who blush also drink alcohol, which increases the risk of fatal esophageal cancer.
Reasons for drinking and blushing:
1. Facial skin flushing is caused by temporary subcutaneous vasodilation, mainly caused by acetaldehyde. In medicine, this phenomenon is called 'alcoholic flushing'. Acetaldehyde has the function of dilating capillaries, and the dilation of facial capillaries is the cause of blushing. And people who drink and blush can quickly convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, which means they have efficient alcohol dehydrogenase. In addition, there is another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase. People who drink and blush only have alcohol dehydrogenase but no aldehyde dehydrogenase. Therefore, acetaldehyde accumulates rapidly in the body and can not be metabolized slowly. Therefore, they will face the situation of Guan Gong.
2. Some scholars think it is allergic reaction of facial blood vessels. A small number of patients with alcohol induced flushing feel hot on their face within 5-10 minutes of alcohol absorption, and at the same time, flush, pulsatile headache, dyspnea, nausea and vomiting appear on their face or whole body skin At this time, people think that they are drunk, which is called 'acetaldehyde syndrome' in medicine. This is the reason why the oxidation of ethanol metabolism causes a significant increase in blood acetaldehyde level.
3. The face is rich in capillaries, and the skin is thin and transparent, so the effect of alcohol converted into acetaldehyde to dilate blood vessels first appears on the face, but slightly lags behind on the body. In addition, some people's palms turn red at the same time as their faces, because their palms have transparent skin and rich blood vessels.
How to drink and blush
Many people turn red as soon as they drink. According to scientific data, this is a sign that it is not suitable for drinking. So what should we do?
1. Drinking is easy to blush, we need to pay attention to, do not drink on an empty stomach, because it is very easy to get drunk at this time, drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful to the gastrointestinal tract, and it may also be more likely to induce a variety of stomach diseases, gastric ulcer and other health problems.
2. When drinking, the key is to drink slowly. It takes 20 minutes to half an hour for alcohol to enter the blood after drinking for a few minutes. The faster you drink, the more likely you are to get drunk. If you drink slowly, the hangover will start slowly, and the less likely you are to get drunk and blush.
3. When drinking, don't mix cola, Sprite and other soft drinks in the wine. If you put these drinks in the alcohol, it's not only easier to get drunk, but also more likely to cause serious harm to your health, and it's easier to get drunk and blush.
4. Before drinking, you can choose to drink some hot soup, such as fish soup, or you can choose to eat some rice, and you can also drink some soup after drinking, all of which have the effect of removing alcohol poison and diluting alcohol, and can effectively reduce the blushing after drinking.
