Your Fitness and Health Tip!
Alcohol, which is more or less like a drug that has been embraced by the society at large, its over use is seriously a point of discussion by people from different places and works of life. This is because, most of the negative after-effects of alcoholism are obvious, such as the loss of lives, loss of careers, and destruction of people's lives and properties.
Definitely, we are aware that alcoholism do more bad than good to those that can't do without it. However, studies have shown that, women are more likely to suffer the effects of alcoholism than men.
One out of the study was able to conclude that, alcoholic women are twice as more likely to die than alcoholic men. This was a research carried out in Germany, at University of Greifswald Medical school: they deduced that, people addicted to alcohol have higher death rates than those who are not addicted or do not use alcohol at-all (This people are in the same age grade and gender). A random sampling was conducted (over 4000 volunteers both alcoholics and non alcoholics of both gender). The research found out that, there were 1.67 annual death rates of alcoholic women of the total population and 0.36 percent annual death rate of the non-alcoholic women. Meanwhile, for men, annual death rate for alcoholic men (same sample study) was 1.26 percent, while for non-alcoholic men, it was just 0.66.
However, if you are a heavy drinker or abuses alcohol, and you want to quit and you are serious about quitting, you must be cautious about it. Reason is that, since your body took a while to adapt to alcohol, it will not be easy for it to re-adapt to non-alcoholism. This is called alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Symptoms can go from mild to severe. And the symptoms can be nausea, fever, sweating, headache, insomnia, hallucination, seizures which can be mistaken for epilepsy and sometimes, schizophrenia.
This is why it is very important that, while you are giving alcohol a complete break, you should have someone to watch after you in case any of the symptoms mentioned above occurs and becomes life threatening.
