Women Health: Alcohol is harmful to health.. everyone knows this. It is also written on liquor bottles. But no one cares. According to the Center for Disease and Prevention, if a man consumes 5 drinks at a time and a woman consumes 4 drinks at a time, she is declared a heavy drinker. Meanwhile, recently, a study was conducted on alcoholic drinks. Women who drink more than eight alcoholic drinks a week have a higher risk of heart disease than women who drink less alcohol.
Shocking facts in the study..
The American College of Cardiology research aims to find a link between alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease. The university is studying this. Researchers at the Cancer Permanent Healthcare Organization in Northern California used data from 4.32 lakh people aged 18 to 65. According to the American College of Cardiology, there are 2.43 lakh men and 1.89 lakh women. Their average age is 44. These include light, moderate or heavy drinkers. They were analyzed and collected again after four years.
The risk of heart disease is high.
Dr. Jamal Rana Fox, a California-based heart specialist and head of the study, said that these days there is a rumor that drinking alcohol is good for the heart. Research has proven against this belief. He said that alcohol is responsible for increasing the risk of heart disease and there should be more awareness.
Safe drink limit
Research has found that both men and women drink less than one or two drinks a week. According to the American College of Cardiology, 3-14 drinks per week for men and 3-7 drinks per week for women is considered moderate drinking. 15 or more drinks per week for men and 8 or more drinks per week for women are listed as binge drinking. After four years, the researchers found that 3,108 people had been treated for coronary heart disease. It was determined that it was aggravated by excessive alcohol intake. Women who drank 8 or more drinks per week had a 33 to 51 percent higher risk of heart disease than women who drank less alcohol. A study of heavy drinkers found that women who drank heavily had a two-thirds higher risk of heart disease than women who drank moderately.
