Doctors told what will happen to the body if you give up alcohol
The doctors told what would happen to the body, which is accustomed to periodically receiving alcohol, if it gives up alcoholic beverages.
According to the doctor of clinical laboratory diagnostics, Boris Nikulin, in such a scenario, one must be prepared for the fact that the body needs sugar, usually this happens on the second day after refusal.
“The thing is that ethanol gave out a huge amount of energy and now there is a shortage of it. The pancreas strenuously produces insulin, “- said the physician in an interview with” Dr. Peter “.
He noted that after about two days, the pancreas work stabilizes. During this period, Nikulin recommended drinking more water, homemade compotes and getting enough sleep. The expert clarified that complete cleansing of the body occurs only in the fifth week.
Surgeon Kirill Yuvchenko said that even three days of abstinence from alcohol make themselves felt – the water-electrolyte balance is restored, the swelling of the face disappears, the skin becomes more elastic.
After two weeks without alcohol, a person becomes more efficient, he can concentrate more easily. During this period, sleep is also getting better.
Scientists have previously stated that drinking a lot of alcohol leads to inflammatory processes in the brain that last more than a month after stopping alcohol. Therefore, researchers have advised practicing long periods of abstinence from alcohol, including those who drink a little and rarely.
