It is not the first time that we commit that alcohol consumption produces unwanted effects on our body. Despite the fact that popular belief has led us to think that wine and beer are drinks that we can drink regularly, the reality is that avoiding them is the healthiest option.
New study published in the Daily Mail ensures that drinking large amounts of alcohol (2 glasses of wine for women and 3 for men), reduces the quality of sleep by 39%. The cardiological benefits that wine claimed to possess are no longer so important, since it gives us a low quality of rest.
It has negative effects even in the young
One of the co-authors of the study and professor at the Tampere University of Technology (Finland), Tero Myllymaki, commented that “When a person is young and physically active it is easy or even natural to feel invincible. However, analyzes have shown that Despite being young, any person is susceptible to the harmful effects of alcohol., especially in recovery when sleeping«.
Likewise, he also wanted to give importance to the relationship between the quality and quantity of sleep: «We know that it is not possible to add hours to sleep, but it is possible to do it more efficiently. The changes may be small, but if they are in the right direction, they can have a very positive impact.«.
Consumption should be reduced
The researchers also thoroughly studied how small doses of alcohol affect, for those who try to find the three feet of the cat. The result they obtained is that even if they are small amounts, the consequences in the body are also negative.
So when a woman has one drink and the man two, the quality of sleep is still affected, reducing by 24%. And as you well know, that is the dose that until now has been openly recommended; being a moderate amount.
Even so, people who drink wine, even in less quantity, continues to affect your rest by 9%.
To do this study, they were Adult 4.098 those who participated voluntarily. Their ages included between 18 and 65 years old, and all underwent devices that measured heart rate for at least 2 nights. Of course, only alcohol was drunk in one of them.
As a conclusion, the experts determined that having a poor rest can be related to the anxiety and depression. So don't joke about that glass of wine before bed.
