The harm of alcohol on the human bodyAlcohol causes a terrible blow to the entire human body. Liver, heart , brain, reproductive system — it all gets a severe blow at the use of alcohol. But we should start from the beginning.Exactly how alcohol acts on a person? What causes a pleasant relaxation? Why all the problems recede enough to drink just a couple of shots of vodka or cognac? Is there any harm of alcohol or is it just hype? As is well known , the alcohol is an excellent solvent. To check take a shot of alcohol and put it on the night of a piece of bacon in the morning and see it in person. So, when the vodka , brandy , wine or other drink containing alcohol gets into the human stomach , some of it gets into the blood. As a result, the red blood cells , which transport oxygen in the body, lose their fat grease — it just dissolves . Usually, it allows them to slip past each other, successfully performing its function. But when lubrication is lost fat cells on contact does not slip by, and stick together . When coupled with 6-10 red blood cells, the result is something vaguely resembling a bunch of grapes . Of course, in an artery or vein , this " bunch " easily pass. But when it gets to the capillaries through which the red blood cells fall to the neurons of the brain begin complexity. The capillary is sized to pass only one red blood cell. What happens when a bunch gets there? That's right, capillary clogging . A neuron does not receive oxygen and dies. When neurons are killed tens and hundreds of thousands of people and feels a sense of relaxation — all problems fade into the background . That alone is worth a relaxation of this? Already in this example, it becomes clear what the harm of alcohol for the brain.
