If you often drink a couple of glasses of wine, then here are the consequences of this. And this also applies to alcoholic beverages in general.
-
Weight gain. Alcohol has a lot of “empty” calories, and it is more caloric than carbohydrates and proteins (in 1 g – 4 kcal, in alcohol – 7 kcal). And alcohol is often consumed along with high-calorie ingredients: soda, syrup, juice. Because alcohol is a toxin, it will be digested first compared to other nutrients, which will make it difficult for you to control your weight and reduce the amount of fat you burn.
-
Hormonal imbalance. As one study showed, chronic alcohol consumption in large doses can disrupt the interaction of the immune, nervous and endocrine systems. As a result, hormonal imbalance will also occur. It can adversely affect reproductive function, mental state, behavior, immunity, etc.
