Before menstruation, the time for drunkenness will be extended, which is also the forbidden period for the liver! The same is drinking, female Probability ratio of liver damage and alcohol poisoning male There are half as many people, which means that women are more susceptible to the poisoning of alcohol.

      Basically, women have fewer enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism, so their ability to break down acetaldehyde is weaker.

      In addition, due to the influence of female hormone secretion before menstruation, the secretion of alcohol-decomposing enzymes will be reduced. Therefore, the speed of decomposing alcohol is reduced. As a result, alcohol cannot be excreted but becomes an acidic substance. To neutralize these substances, the liver must continue to produce enzymes, and eventually, the possibility of liver dysfunction increases.

      Before menstruation, the activity of decomposing enzymes is low, and the ability to metabolize alcohol decreases... If the metabolism slows down, the time in the drunken state will be longer and the feeling of drunkenness will be more serious. Therefore, drinking before menstruation can lead to addiction and even lead to alcohol poisoning in many cases.

      Therefore, caring for yourself should be implemented at the most fundamental level, and women should also consider their menstrual cycle when drinking alcohol. So is it okay to drink alcohol during menstruation? Will it affect the secretion of menstrual blood? The doctor told us: the secretion of menstrual blood is only 50-120g at most, and alcohol will not have any impact on this. In addition, I especially want to drink during my menstrual period. Grape There are many women who drink or warm wine. This is also because their body temperature drops by 0.3-0.4 degrees during menstruation, and they subconsciously want to warm their bodies. Therefore, during this period, 1-2 glasses of wine is the appropriate amount, and no more. 》》》  Vegetables and fruits that women should not eat during menstruation
