Alcohol can have a negative effect on the lining of the stomach, causing irritation and increasing the risk of developing various gastrointestinal health problems.
Alcohol has a negative effect on the stomach lining, causing inflammation, erosion, ulcers and other diseases, so if you drink alcohol, you need to take steps to protect and repair your stomach.
Here are some tips to help reduce the risk of stomach damage from alcohol.
Choose a high-quality, low-alcohol drink, such as red wine or beer. Avoid strong alcoholic drinks such as vodka, cognac or liqueurs, which are more irritating to the stomach lining.
Drink alcohol in moderation and no more than once a week. Follow the recommended amount of alcohol for your gender and age. Do not drink on an empty stomach, but always have a snack containing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This will help slow down the absorption of alcohol and create a protective layer on the stomach lining.
After drinking alcohol, drink a glass of pure water or still mineral water. This will help dilute the alcohol in the stomach and reduce its concentration. It is also helpful to drink a warm cup of chamomile, mint or currant tea, which have an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect on the stomach.
If you experience pain, nausea or heartburn in your stomach after drinking alcohol, you can take medications that protect the stomach lining from damage and neutralize excess acidity. For example, omeprazole, ranitidine, phosphalugel or Rennie. However, do not overuse these medications or take them without consulting your doctor.
If you regularly drink alcohol and suffer from chronic stomach diseases such as gastritis or ulcers, you need to see a narcologist and gastroenterologist for addiction and stomach treatment. Alcohol can make your condition worse and lead to dangerous complications such as bleeding, perforation or stomach cancer.
Remember that the best way to protect your stomach from alcohol is to abstain from drinking it or reduce it to a minimum. Alcohol not only damages your stomach, but also harms your entire body. Take care of your health and avoid alcohol addiction.
It was previously reported that giving up alcohol for 30 days can have a variety of positive effects on your physical and mental health.
