Understanding the risks and any possible health benefits of alcohol often seems confusing; that’s understandable because the evidence for moderate alcohol use in healthy adults isn’t certain.
According to Healthline”, Investigators know surprisingly little about the risks or benefits of moderate alcohol use in healthy adults. Almost all studies of lifestyle, comprising diet, exercise, caffeine, and alcohol, rely on patient recall and truthful reporting of one’s habits over many years. These surveys may indicate that two things may be associated with one another, but not necessarily that one causes the other. Below are the health benefits of drinking alcohol daily.
Prevents Kidney Stones
Regular moderate drinkers are less likely to get kidney stones — 41% less likely for those who drink beer, 33% for wine drinkers. Part of the reason may be that alcohol, like caffeine in coffee and tea, makes you pee more often. That helps clear out the tiny crystals that form stones. Drink too much, though, and you can get dehydrated, and that increases your risk of kidney stones along with other health problems.
Gets You More Active
Moderate drinkers are far more likely to exercise than people who don’t drink. And they may even get more healthy effects from it. On the flip side, the more you exercise, the more likely you are to drink now and then. Scientists don’t know exactly where this link comes from.
Helps Your Heart
If you’re in good shape, moderate drinking makes you 25% to 40% less likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or hardened arteries. This may be in part because small amounts of alcohol can raise your HDL (“good” cholesterol) levels. Heavy drinking, on the other hand, boosts your risk of heart infection.
