Doctors told us which alcohol is considered the most harmful, although the alcohol content in it is low compared to strong alcoholic drinks.
This information was reported by Pixelinform, reports URA-Inform.
They noted that among various alcoholic drinks, beer is the most harmful.
“Beer increases cholesterol levels, which reduces the elasticity of blood vessels, narrows their lumen, which leads to insufficient blood supply to organs and tissues and the development of cardiovascular diseases,” — doctors explained.
Experts warn that beer is mistakenly considered a light alcoholic drink due to its low alcohol content. However, cholesterol is not the only problem that beer drinkers face.
Beer contains phytoestrogens, which suppress the production of testosterone, the male sex hormone. As a result, the female hormone estrogen begins to predominate in a man’s body, which leads to changes in figure and the appearance of feminine features.
In addition, beer has a strong diuretic effect, increasing the load on the kidneys and leaching beneficial substances from the body.
Another problem is associated with snacks that usually accompany beer – dried fish, chips, crackers and other salty and fatty foods. Their consumption contributes to weight gain and can lead to obesity.
