Alcohol and cholesterol: myths and reality
Do alcohol increase blood cholesterol or contributes to the purification of vessels from this wax-like substance? Let’s try to figure it out
Are alcoholic beverages help to normalize cholesterol levels in the blood, prevent the formation of new cholesterol plaques, reduce the risk of thrombosis? Or this myth came up with winemakers who try to sell as much alcoholic beverages as possible with a gullible consumer?
After all, if you believe in the positive effect of alcohol on cholesterol in the blood, then there will be an assumption about healthy alcoholics vessels. But death rate from heart attack in chronic alcoholics is in second place after deaths from the liver cirrhosis.
So what is the effect of alcohol on cholesterol – positive or negative?
Information about cholesterol
To figure out, increases cholesterol alcohol or lowers, you should know, and what is cholesterol, where he is from the body and why need.
Physical properties of cholesterol:
white substance;- viscous, even wax-like consistency;
- from a group of fats.
Refers to sterols – polycycle alcohols, steroid.
Cholesterol is necessary for the body, the calorie reserves are replenished from it, glucides are produced.
When feeding with food, it splits the liver, and is distributed over the cells.
If cholesterol is not enough with food, the body itself begins to produce it.
When the amount of cholesterol coming from food is increased, the body does not cope with processing, in the bloodstream the number of wax particles increases, and they clog vessels, making it difficult to move blood. In the narrowed vessels, blood moves slower, and to stabilize the condition, the heart has to work with an increased load – otherwise the lack of oxygen in the brain will lead to irreversible changes.
Heart worn causes a disease of the cardiovascular system, which in turn affects the state of the vessels.
Cholesterol dissolves in alcohol, which expands the vessels and increases the rate of blood flow by 3-4 hours. Vessels are cleaned from cholesterol. It turns out that the effect of alcohol on the level of cholesterol in the blood is positive?
The destructive effect of alcohol
If the whole human body consisted of esophagus, stomach, and one circle circle, alcoholic drinks would be undoubtedly brought only.
Abuse of fatty food would be stopped by liquid with degrees, cholesterol would dissolve, and everything would be taken out by naturally.
But alcohol is not in a pure form, absorbing dissolved wax fat mass.
He splits the cookie. The liver neutralizes the poisons, it remains insoluble compounds from ethanol, which affects it destructive, causing dystrophic changes under which hepatic cells are replaced by a connecting cloth.
Kidneys to remove toxins, stimulate the urination, and in the future they have to work in conditions of fluid deficiency – they brought excess liquid, saving the body from intoxication. So they deteriorates them.
Found out that the question of how the alcohol affects the cholesterol in the blood can be given a response – dissolves it. But at the same time, the vessels under the action of alcohol first expand sharply, then they are also sharply narrowed. It flashes muscle elements of the vascular wall, increases their fragility.
Especially quickly, large coronary vessels, which deliver oxygen to the basic systems of the body – brain and myocardium, come into disrepair.
Worn vessels significantly deteriorate the state of health, provoke circulation disruption.
The body is wears, and that small benefits – dissolution of cholesterol – «Balans» Huge harm in abuse of alcohol.

In the presence of diseases of the digestion dose of the dose of alcohol, should be reduced by another 2 times, especially if the problems concern the bore.
And as long-livers in the mountains that daily drink red wine with glasses, and at the same time save cheerfulness up to 80 years?
