(ORDO NEWS) — Beer is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world. However, regular and excessive consumption of beer can cause some side effects, reported by TSN.
While beer can help you relax, D’Elia and Wheeler note that it can actually reduce the quality of your sleep. Alcohol can interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep cycle and is responsible for our ability to fall asleep in the dark.
“While alcohol can help you fall asleep faster, it can disrupt deep sleep and impair sleep quality, which can lead to difficulty waking up in the morning and feeling tired and lethargic,” explains D’Elia.
She adds that this can have a negative impact on mental health, as poor sleep often leads to mood swings.
According to nutritionist Jonah Burdeos, even drinking a glass or two of beer can cause digestive problems in some people. Scientific studies show that alcohol irritates the gut and destroys the good bacteria in the microbiome.
As a result, there are short-term problems with digestion or heartburn. In the long term, this can cause the development of inflammatory diseases, including gastritis. Even moderate alcohol consumption can affect the liver and increase the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Although research on the effects of moderate alcohol consumption on health shows conflicting results, the scientific community recognizes that excessive alcohol consumption has negative effects on health.
Some studies show that moderate alcohol consumption is not associated with weight gain and can have a positive effect on health. However, it is important to understand that alcohol is never good for the liver, even in moderation.
