all right so today we’re going  to talk about the health benefits  

of alcohol now i know this is not going to be  popular and in fact some of you might unsubscribe  

but realize i’m just the health messenger i’m  trying to give you more awareness on what to  

do to increase health and if you happen to drink  alcohol there are some things to reduce the that  

effects but are you ready for the health benefits  it’s a big fat zero there are no health benefits  

of drinking alcohol it turns out that any amount  of alcohol can be damaging to your brain and your  

heart despite what has been promoted the last  40 years saying that alcohol will benefit your  

heart if you have a moderate amount one drink for  women per day and two drinks for men per day did  

you realize that there’s even this concept that’s  floating around that states that abstinence of  

alcohol is a cause of heart disease well in a new  study university of oxford 25 000 people from 2014  

to 2020 they found that even small amounts this is  below moderate amounts can have a negative effect  

on your brain in your heart now what about all  these antioxidants in the in the wines you know  

it’s from grapes grapes are healthy well there are  antioxidants for sure but it’s the alcohol that is  

the problem now in your liver you have something  called alcohol dehydrogenase it’s an enzyme  

that converts the alcohol into something called  acetaldehyde which is very very toxic to your body  

and your liver in fact it’s a very highly  toxic byproduct and it causes major oxidation  

on the liver and other organs especially your  heart and there’s a lot of free radical damage  

occurs when you have too much acetaldehyde now  the only purpose of this video is not to tell  

you can’t drink it’s just to give you the truth  about alcohol because some people are going out  

of their way in drinking more alcohol because they  think it’s going to give you a health benefit well  

that’s just purely false information but i do  want to give you some things that you can do  

not only as a substitute to alcohol but to reduce  

the damage so if you’re going to drink a  small amount there are things you can do to  

counter the damage the first thing i’m going  to recommend if you haven’t tried this before  

it’s called kombucha tea kombucha tea is a  fermented drink it has a very tiny bit of alcohol  

it creates a nice relaxation effect the  texture of kombucha tea is very similar to  

beer or champagne it’s very fizzy it’s very thick  and it creates a nice relaxation effect so you may  

want to try that instead of alcohol to see if  you’d like that there’s also something called  

kutza root extract and this can be taken as a  supplement to help you reduce cravings for alcohol  

and if you take it with l-glutamine it seems to  work pretty good okay so you might want to try  

that and the last thing i’m going to recommend  for damage control if you’re going to drink is  

just to take some milk thistle right before you  drink and it’s a paddle protective in other words  

it protects your liver cells against damage in  fact it even protects liver cells against certain  

poisons and acetaldehyde is a poison uh from the  breakdown of that enzyme i just talked about so  

if you were to take some milk thistle before  you drink i think that can actually minimize  

the damage now again i just want to emphasize  i’m not telling you not to ever drink alcohol  

i’m just i’m just telling you if you think you’re  getting health benefits you’re not and i’m also  

telling you there are things you can do to limit  the damage that alcohol crates on your body and  

i didn’t mention this but i think fasting is  another really important thing to do so let’s  

say for on a weekend lets you drink and you were  to fast the next day that would be probably the  

best thing you can do to help you increase your  antioxidant network and help you repair some  

of the damage that was created on your liver hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
