Experts shared a secret: to reduce the load on the liver after drinking alcohol can be only 2.5 hours a week. In the modern world there is no unequivocally positive or negative attitude to alcohol: some people categorically do not accept alcohol, others allow themselves a glass only on a holiday, and some even can not live a day without a glass of wine. For a long time already in medicine they stopped calling for the complete exclusion of alcohol from life. Nevertheless, the norms for the use of "hot" drinks exist: it is necessary not to harm human health. It is believed that the permissible weekly volume of alcoholic beverages is 6-8 glasses of good wine or 3.5 liters of beer. However, many are interested in the question: what is the worst thing that can happen if alcohol is used in excess of recommended norms? In fact, a lot depends on the number of glasses drunk. With each drunk "dose", the risk of diseases such as heart attack and stroke, malignant tumors and sudden death increases . In addition, people who regularly and heavily consume alcohol, there are irreparable changes on a conscious level - this process is called alcoholism. After all, not everyone has a sense of proportion and willpower. It would seem that an inoffensive "pair of glasses" a day can quickly turn into a bad habit. Because of the frequent use of "hot" drinks, metabolism is disturbed, excess weight appears: alcohol increases appetite and itself contains a large number of calories. Fortunately, scientists have come up with how to minimize the harmful effects of alcohol on the function of the liver, kidneys and the general state of the body. The method in question helps to "neutralize" alcohol literally for two and a half hours - these are intense sports exercises that need to be given only 2.5 hours per week. Experts from Great Britain and Australia conducted a complex experiment, which led to important conclusions: physical activity helps to eliminate the negative impact of alcohol-containing beverages on the human body almost in half. In addition, experts noticed that such influence of sports is found even in persons exceeding the recommended amount of alcohol, and consuming it in large quantities. It turns out that regular exercise is an effective way to reduce the harmful effects of alcohol. And these exercises will have to allocate only 2.5 hours per week. In addition to what has been said, scientists noted: the more people pay attention to sports activities, the less becomes the desire to use some alcoholic beverage. In this way, arranging regular training in the hall, many manage to overcome even chronic alcoholism. In the power of each person to get rid of such a pernicious dependence - to become healthy and active.
