Ethanol, the active ingredient in alcohol, is responsible for most of its health benefits and detriments.
SLAM UP'S: Alcohol can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke by relaxing blood vessels and boosting levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. A compound found in red wine called resveratrol can improve blood flow and prevent LDL (bad) cholesterol from damaging arteries. Moderate consumption of alcohol (one glass per day for women and two for men) can be associated with the reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and can lower blood sugar in those with diabetes.
SLAM DOWN'S: Alcohol can increase blood pressure and triglycerides and should be avoided by those with liver disease, including hepatitis. It also exacerbates heartburn and acid reflux.
Moderate amounts of alcohol can increase a woman's risk of breast cancer and excessive drinking has been linked to cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and pancreas. Alcohol can deters those trying to lose weight. It's caloric, but it does not fill you up the same way food does and can even stimulate your appetite.
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT: If you drink, do so responsibly and moderately. And if you suffer from illness or take any medication, check with your doctor before consuming alcohol on a regular basis.
