Symptoms Drinking safely What is it? Alcohol has for many years been used in social settings and enjoyed. It’s a drug and as such it alters a person’s physical and mental state. In moderation alcohol is safe. If abused it can cause immediate and long-term harm. How does it affect us? The effects of alcohol occur when it hits the brain and include a sense of wellbeing and relaxation, a lessening of tension and inhibitions, slurred speech and unsteadiness. Binge drinking is associated with accidents, violence, and crime and a hangover the following day – with headaches, vomiting and indigestion. Even though the heavy regular drinker may not become drunk, damage to the internal organs may still be happening. This increases the risk of liver cirrhosis, stomach ulcers, heart disease, strokes and some cancers. Since alcohol is a depressant many heavy drinkers also suffer with mental health problems. Alcohol often contributes to problems with family, relationships, work, finances, and crime.

By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege Here is one research finding that most people want to hear: drinking a moderate amount of red wine each day appears to be beneficial for heart disease and may extend lifespan. Much of the benefit appears to be due to an antioxidant, resveratrol, found in grape skins and red wine. Resveratrol belongs to a family of compounds known as polyphenols, which are known to combat damaging free radicals in the body. Resveratrol was also found to extend the lifespan of yeast cells by up to 80 percent, and researchers are hoping to prove that the molecules will have similar effects on worms, fruit flies and even humans.

While the causes of breast cancer are not fully understood, research shows that you can lower your risk of developing the disease or dying from it, by minimizing lifestyle and environmental risk factors and through breast cancer screening. Background The number of breast cancer cases grew slowly from the 1960's to the early 1990's, but leveled off in 1993. One in nine women in Canada will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2003, 21,100 Canadian women will develop the disease, and about 5,300 will die from it. Risks of Developing Breast Cancer Scientific researchers have identified some factors which increase a woman's risk of breast cancer. Having breast implants to change your breast size or shape, or to rebuild a breast after surgery, has not been found to be a risk factor for breast cancer. Factors which have been consistently found to increase risk (for more details about these factors, see "

Regular screening can diagnose the disease at an early stage when it is more treatable, therefore reducing mortality. Background Although the number of people affected with CRC is declining, it is still the third most common form of cancer, after breast and lung cancer in women, and prostate and lung cancer in men. Approximately 17,600 new cases will be diagnosed in Canada this year, with approximately 6,500 Canadians dying from CRC. CRC is a malignant tumour that develops over a period of time (at least 10 years) on the bowel wall, before invading the wall and moving on to other organs. Approximately two-thirds of these cancers are found in the large intestine and one-third in the rectum. CRC usually develops from benign tumours or polyps found in the bowel. Symptoms of CRC depend on the lesion's location, type, extent and complications, and may include:

[View All Articles] Alcohol What you need to know: Drinking alcohol while you are pregnant can cause your baby to be born with physical and mental birth defects called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation. No one knows exactly how much alcohol a woman has to drink to cause FAS in her baby (and that level may be different between women). So experts agree that the best thing to do is not to drink alcohol at all while you are pregnant—that includes beer, wine, wine coolers and liquor. What you can do: Stay away from alcohol while you are pregnant. If you find it hard to say no, avoid parties, bars and other places where people are drinking alcohol. If you have a problem stopping, get help. There is no more important time to stop than when you are pregnant. Tips for Giving Up Alcohol Avoid situations where you usually drink, like parties or bars. Ask your health care provider about alcohol treatment programs.

Sections on this page: Blood Pressure and Saunas Alcohol and Blood Pressure Weight loss Cleansing the body from toxins ... More on health issues Blood Pressure and Saunas On Wed, 2 Oct 1996, I received this letter: I have a history of high blood pressure, and a friend told me that at her health club, the sauna carries a warning sign that those with high blood pressure or a heart condition should excercise caution. Is there some risk for me? I take medication, which keeps my pressure down. The heat in a sauna actually causes the capillaries in the skin to dilate, which in effect lowers blood pressure. In Finland, high blood pressure is something of a national problem, and yet most enjoy saunas at least occasionally. One could argue that the two are related, but our high blood pressure is due more to excess salt and alcohol than anything else. On the other hand, if you suffer from a low blood pressure, you should start taking saunas slowly, so you can judge its effects personally.

Health Articles What Alcohol Does to Your Metabolism Breaking it Down for You Well, that's probably not what you would think about when you're on vacation. But, that is pretty much the process of metabolism. Whether it's with a hamburger you just ate or a sip of wine, any substance you put into your mouth has to be broken down into substances that your body can effectively use. Because alcohol is a toxic or poisonous substance to your body, your body has to work extra hard to break down the alcohol content and oxidize or detoxify the blood before it goes throughout the body. If you drink more than your body can metabolize at a given time, the alcohol will go throughout your body and affect your organs and brain. Woman to Woman "I'm a recovering alcoholic, so I know my experience isn't like the average woman who can drink without a problem," starts Dee Dee Allen of Washington, D.C. "But when I was drinking, I could easily down four drinks or three beers in an hour. That's the other thing; I mixed a lot of drinks. Once I got started, I was off to the races. As far as how it affected me physically, I truly believe it contributed to my high blood pressure. My pressure was always on the high borderline during my 20s, but when I gave up drinking, it has been normal and actually pretty good."
