This is what beer fans write: "Even in ancient times they knew that beer increases male potency." In fact, everything is exactly the opposite ... Therefore, today we will consider the effect of beer on the male body and potency.

We all know that with the help of this drink you can perfectly relax, this is facilitated by the content of sedatives and psychotropic substances in it, moreover, it contains a small amount of alcohol, thanks to which many men consider beer to be completely harmless.

But the use of a beer drink negatively affects the brain, liver and heart, as well as the reproductive system can be very badly affected by it. Therefore, we will begin our consideration precisely with this.

The effect of beer on male potency

At the same time, once the balance is disturbed, the female hormone estrogen begins to be produced, which affects the appearance of men.

In men who abuse this low-alcohol drink, breasts begin to grow and the pelvis widens, fatty deposits appear in the same places as in women.

Effect on the digestive system

In addition to everything, low-alcohol drinks increase appetite, due to the various bitterness contained in it and irritating the digestive organs. The result is a feeling of hunger. And there it is not far from obesity, which greatly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. These diseases play a significant role in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction.

But there is nothing in common between Beer Belly and beer. The stomach grows from simple overeating. And the calories in beer are much less than in champagne, milk or apples.
At the moment, in Russia and Ukraine, there are 65 liters of beer per capita annually. And this figure is only increasing every year ...

Effects on blood vessels

You should also remember about the negative effects of beer on blood vessels. The carbon dioxide contained in it leads to the fact that the walls of the blood vessels are flabby. As a result, the blood supply to the organs is impaired. It all starts with the lower limbs and the head, due to the pathologically strong expansion of the blood vessels. In this case, you can soon expect the appearance of varicose veins.

Of course, nothing will happen from one can of beer once every couple of months. However, this is the insidiousness of beer, since it is low-alcoholic and has a pleasant bread taste, and therefore no one takes it in such doses.

For this reason, beer addiction often leads to beer alcoholism. And this is already a disease that is much more difficult to treat than classic alcoholism, since most people do not understand and admit that they are faced with this problem.

It is necessary to know that the abuse of beer in adolescence has a faster effect of beer on the potency of a man. Therefore, in order not to turn into a beer alcoholic, impotent with all the ensuing consequences, it is better not to consume this low-alcohol drink at all!

Among the cheap low-alcohol party drinks, beer can be considered the most common. Many men use it almost every day. Only advertisements do not mention that regular filling of the stomach with liquid with fermentation elements cannot go unnoticed. It irritates the gastrointestinal tract and aggressively affects the mucous membrane. Digestion becomes inadequate, and food is not completely digested, which leads to problems with stool. Negative effects are also observed from other organ systems.

The composition of beer and its effect on the body

Previously, manufacturers brewed this drink from only a few basic ingredients, and exclusively natural. Their list includes:

• clean water;
• Brewer's yeast;
• hop;
• malt.

Due to their fermentation and fermentation, a low-alcohol natural drink was obtained. Phenolic compounds were useful in it, 90% of which contain malt. Modern manufacturers are striving to reduce production costs and increase the shelf life of the drink. For this purpose, various chemical additives are used for the manufacture of steel:

• saccharin or artificial sweeteners;
• preservatives that extend the shelf life;
• enzymes that decompose starch into simple sugars;
• stabilizers that make the structure of the drink homogeneous;
• artificial colors;
• starchy cereal products.

Such additives allow you to change the taste, saturation, strength or color of the drink. They also have a harmful effect on the body, causing hormonal problems, the development of cancerous tumors, disruption of the liver, brain and other organs. Sometimes even natural ingredients, i.e. hops and malt are replaced with dry concentrates, which help to extend the shelf life of the finished product. In such a drink, there is no longer a single useful component.

How hops affect hormonal balance

Many have heard many myths about the harm of beer for men. One of them is the feminization of the stronger sex due to the presence of biologically active substances of phytoestrogens in the drink. They are close to female sex hormones - estrogens. 1 liter of the product accounts for up to 36 mg of phytoestrogens. According to some doctors, this amount is enough to change the hormonal background. Phytoestrogens cause in "beer" alcoholics:

• rounded belly;
• weakening of muscles;
• enlargement of the breast glands;
• expansion of the pelvis.

Phytoestrogens are also thought to affect testosterone levels. With a decrease in the amount of this hormone, a man becomes apathetic. There is another opinion that for these changes you need to regularly consume a very large amount of beer, and at a time. This is because phytoestrogens are rapidly degraded in the body. Other facts are also taken into account:

• during production, the wort with hops is subjected to a boiling procedure, as a result of which the destruction of thermally unstable hormones occurs;
• phytoestrogens are found in many other foods - lentils, chamomile, pomegranates, dates, seeds;
• plant and human hormones differ, therefore, for the body to respond to phytoestrogens, they must accumulate in large quantities.

Based on this, it is difficult to say what is the mechanism of influence of hop inflorescences on the hormonal background of a man. The fact remains that with regular drinking of this drink, the representatives of the stronger sex begin to accumulate fat according to the female type: on the hips, buttocks, shoulders, chest. The behavior of a man also changes: he often lies on the couch, suffers from low self-esteem. All this indicates a hormonal imbalance. Although hops also contain beneficial substances, for example, xanthohumol, which exhibits antioxidant properties.

Chemical additives and stabilizers

Any kind of modern beer contains not only natural ingredients. Stabilizers, colorants, preservatives, organic acids - all of this is used in the production of a foamy drink. These substances are beneficial to the manufacturer, because their product is stored longer. For men, they are very harmful. Each chemical additive exhibits dangerous properties:

1. Unfermented extract. It contains simple carbohydrates that cause obesity. The extract also contains ammonia compounds and amides - toxic substances.
2. Diacetyl. Affects the respiratory system. In the United States, this substance is completely prohibited, and in Europe it is considered one of the most harmful.
3. Phytoestrogens. They cause obesity in men, "beer" tummy.
4. Carbon dioxide. It has a negative effect on digestion, upsets the acid-base balance of the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Higher alcohols. As a result of their dehydration, alkene carbons are formed in the body, which exhibit carcinogenic properties.
6. Ethanol. With prolonged use, it is addictive and leads to alcoholism. In the body, it breaks down, resulting in the formation of acetic acetaldehyde, which causes hangover symptoms.
7. Fusel oils. They disrupt the work of the brain, gradually destroy the liver, and lead to encephalopathy of these organs.

Consumption rate

Even if beer is harmful to a man's body, you can drink the drink, but within reasonable limits. The allowed amount of ethanol per day is 10 g. This is equal to 1 liter of beer per day, but drinking that much is not recommended. The best option is 0.2-0.5 liters per day, but not more often 3-5 times a week. This dose is considered safe for men. In women, it is able to slow down aging. Even knowing the norm, not everyone can stop in time after one glass, so those who do not know the measures are advised to refrain from alcohol.

Beer alcoholism

This is a painful addiction to beer, which is also called gambrinism. In the international classification of diseases there is no concept of "beer alcoholism". For this reason, the term is not used as an official diagnosis. Abuse of this type of alcohol is considered to be drinking alcohol, only in the form of another drink. For this reason, the same methods of treatment and prevention are applied to it. Features of beer alcoholism:

• it is more difficult to cure, since beer is not associated with alcohol by many;
• mental dependence forms faster - about 4 times relative to strong alcohol;
• the consequences are much more devastating compared to the abuse of vodka or wine.

Beer alcoholism develops not only quickly, but often imperceptibly. A man uses 2 or more bottles a day, without feeling any harm, but at the same time feeling drunk. The following signs indicate beer alcoholism:

• the use of this low-alcohol drink more than 1 liter daily;
• irritability and anger that appear if you do not drink;
• insomnia, inability to sleep or relax;
• daytime sleepiness;
• headache;
• problems with potency;
• "Beer belly";
• drinking beer right in the morning to relieve a hangover or raise your mood.

At the last stage of beer alcoholism, a man may begin to consume even stronger alcohol. Binges are becoming more and more severe, and the pathology becomes chronic. At this stage, compulsory treatment is already required. Beer alcoholism is dangerous by the development of the following diseases and conditions:

• accumulation of fat in the liver, which leads to scarring or cirrhosis;
• obesity, which is fraught with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases;
• the formation of free radicals that increase the risk of developing cancer;
• Beer heart syndrome;
• hepatitis A.

Why beer is harmful for a man

The negative consequences of beer alcoholism are manifested both externally and internally. The entire body suffers from this condition, but some systems or organs are especially harmful:

1. Cardiovascular. She suffers from the stabilizer of beer foam - cobalt. This element expands the internal cavities of the heart muscle, causes necrosis of its tissues. In this case, the heart is also called bovine or beer.
2. Digestive. It is possible to develop ulcers, gastritis and other problems with the gastrointestinal tract, especially when drinking beer on an empty stomach.
3. Central nervous system and brain. Under the influence of alcohol, red blood cells dissolve and stick together, which clog the blood vessels. This causes oxygen starvation, which is accompanied by a feeling of euphoria.
4. Kidneys. They work at the limit due to a violation of the acid-base balance and the accumulation of excess fluid.
5. Liver. She is forced to constantly recycle alcohol breakdown products, dyes and preservatives in its composition. This leads to an overload of the liver, which can lead to the development of hepatitis, fatty degeneration and cirrhosis.
6. Sexual and endocrine. Due to the content of phytoestrogens in hops, a man begins to internally and externally become more and more like a woman. All this is associated with a change in hormonal levels. The main sign of this process is a decrease in potency, breast enlargement, softening of the voice, and a decrease in the amount of hair on the body.

Disruption of the endocrine system

In the production of this low-alcohol drink, hops are used - a plant containing phytoestrogens. They are similar in their action to female sex hormones with the consonant name "estrogens". Once inside the body, they change the hormonal background. The harm of beer for men in this case is to block testosterone production. The representative of the stronger sex begins to slowly "turn" into a woman. This is manifested as follows:

• a "beer belly" appears;
• fat is deposited according to the female type, i.e. on the hips, waist, chest;
• the size of the mammary glands increases;
• the pelvis becomes wider;
• the percentage of muscles in the body decreases;
• the character becomes more moody and quarrelsome;
• problems with erection appear, libido decreases;
• testicular tissue degenerates, sperm quality deteriorates.

Decreased potency

This is due to the action of the phytoestrogens in the hops. They imbalance the entire hormonal system, on which the level of potency also depends. It worsens when the production of testosterone, the male sex hormone, decreases. Its peculiar substitution with phytoestrogens takes place. Regularly receiving a dose of these substances, a man begins to lose interest in the opposite sex. In addition to reducing potency, there is:

• changes in the composition and properties of sperm, it becomes more viscous;
• decreased sperm motility;
• decrease in the likelihood of fertilization;
• in especially severe cases - the development of infertility.

The appearance of visceral fat

"Beer belly" is an indicator of an increase in the amount of visceral fat. It is invisible, because it accumulates around the internal organs: stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, genitals. Visceral fat is needed to keep them warm and in position. Another of its functions is to mitigate shaking of organs during movement. Normally, the amount of visceral fat is 10% of all body fat.

A larger volume of visceral fat leads to compression of the internal organs. It is deposited in the omentum, which is located in the abdominal cavity. In this case, a man has a large belly. Legs and arms can remain as thin. Excess visceral fat increases your risk of developing:

• atherosclerotic plaques due to an increase in the amount of cholesterol that is deposited on the walls of blood vessels;
• type 2 diabetes mellitus;
• osteoporosis;
• apnea;
• oncological diseases;
• heart attack and stroke;
• hypertension;
• sudden death;
• ischemic disease.

Blood sugar spikes

Blood glucose levels are also influenced by this type of alcohol. As a result of its use, there are jumps in sugar, which occur as follows:

• while drinking, the glucose level decreases rapidly - this condition lasts depending on the amount of drink consumed;
• as alcohol is removed from the blood, the opposite process begins - sugar rises sharply.

High glucose levels make you feel hungry. Brewer's yeast has the same effect. In addition, alcohol releases certain neurotransmitters and hormones that increase appetite and increases the production of stomach acid. As a result, after drinking alcohol, a wild hunger appears. Additionally, beer washes out salt from the body, which makes you want to eat more salty, fatty and spicy foods. As a result, the calorie content of the diet increases. For this reason, beer is excluded from any diet.

Weight gain and deterioration in appearance

The appearance of a "beer belly" is associated with an increase in the amount of visceral fat. This happens under the influence of phytoestrogens, which reduce the production of testosterone, a hormone involved in the process of getting rid of excess body fat in men. The belly becomes large, but there are no folds on it. It looks unaesthetic and round just because of the accumulation of not subcutaneous, but visceral fat, which envelops the internal organs.

Against this background, a man often eats unhealthy food, which further increases the amount of body fat. Phytoestrogens make the figure more feminine. "Beer belly" is dangerous for the body, because it increases the risk of:

• myocardial infarction;
• obesity;
• hormonal imbalance;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• vascular pathologies;
• diabetes mellitus 2 degrees;
• erectile dysfunction;
• impotence;
• metabolic syndrome;
• Alzheimer's disease;
• colon cancer.

What does beer affect in men, depending on age

Beer affects the body of men of different ages in a certain way. Up to 40 years old, the topic of procreation is relevant. At this age, men especially suffer from their reproductive system. The abuse of the foamy drink can not only worsen potency, but also lead to a complete blockage of erectile function and even infertility. In older age, other changes occur:

1. Between 40 and 60 years old. As a man gets older, he experiences more and more side effects from alcohol. During this period, representatives of the stronger sex are especially prone to gaining excess weight, and beer, as a high-calorie product, gives an impetus to the development of obesity.
2. In older men over 60 years of age. At this age, alcohol should be completely excluded so as not to put stress on the vital organs and systems. This is especially true of the heart, the work of which has already undergone age-related changes. In addition, the drinking elderly develop other pathologies: cirrhosis and hepatitis of the liver, hypertension, and stomach ulcers.

Brain activity

All drinks containing ethyl alcohol affect the functioning of the central nervous system and the brain. The cells of the latter die under the influence of alcohol. In the case of a persistent dependence on a foamy drink, they are no longer restored. The action of ethyl alcohol can be divided into 3 stages:

• at first there is a feeling of euphoria or aggression;
• then millions of neurons die, intoxication of the organism occurs;
• then the degradation of the central nervous system and the brain occurs, in which it is very difficult to restore the full work of these organs.

Over time, the convolutions begin to smooth out, and the brain itself decreases in size. Due to the adhesion of red blood cells, multiple hemorrhages are formed in it, which can lead to a stroke. In adulthood, the abuse of foamy drink is fraught with the development of dementia, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The harm of beer for young men is manifested:

• blackouts;
• depression;
• trouble concentrating;
• damage to the visual and auditory analyzers;
• a decrease in an adequate assessment of reality;
• difficulties in orientation on the ground;
• inability to cope with outbursts of anger;
• loss of sensitivity to pain.

Beer and pancreas

Pancreas problems are especially relevant for young men who complain of abdominal pain. For them, this symptom is often associated not with food, but with the regular use of beer. This drink contains carbon dioxide, which irritates the stomach walls and stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid. Gastritis with high acidity is gradually formed. The direct effect of alcohol on the pancreas is as follows:

• alcohol causes a spasm of the ducts of the gland, in which enzymes begin to accumulate;
• the result is an increase in the size and inflammation of the organ;
• further alcohol abuse leads to the development of fatal diseases such as pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis.

Cardiovascular problems

Alcohol provokes sudden surges in blood pressure and increases the heart rate. If the heart rate rises above 90 beats per minute, then tachycardia develops. The combination of these factors disrupts the normal blood circulation, which is why the blood supply to all tissues and organs is interrupted. The harm of beer for the male body is manifested in the following:

• constriction of peripheral vessels, causing hypoxia of the tissues of the extremities - the fingers change their color to cyanotic;
• an increase in the size of the heart - the organ becomes flabby, it ceases to fully stretch;
• increased cholesterol levels and the formation of plaque, which clog blood vessels and can lead to heart attack or stroke.

"Bullish" or beer heart

With long-term consumption of beer up to 3-5 liters, irreversible changes begin in the heart every day. There is a thickening of the walls of the organ. The internal cavities of the heart expand, because they need to pump 2 times more fluid. Muscle cells are replaced by connective and adipose tissue. The enlarged heart is called "bovine" or "beer". In medicine, the pathology is called cardiomegaly. The condition is aggravated by varicose veins, which develop due to the overflow of blood vessels as a result of the rapid absorption of beer.

Outside, the heart is overgrown with fat. Due to the increased load on this organ, arrhythmia is formed, shortness of breath appears. Aluminum, from which beer cans are made, is also dangerous for the heart. Further abuse of the foamy drink itself increases the risk of dangerous consequences:

• ischemic heart disease;
• heart failure;
• angina pectoris;
• stroke.

An important step in treatment is to avoid beer altogether. It is necessary to exclude bad habits. It is recommended to cleanse the body on a weekly basis, using fresh juices throughout the day or completely starving. Medication is aimed at improving cardiac blood flow. For this purpose, ACE inhibitors are prescribed, which lower blood pressure and normalize the heartbeat. Examples of drugs used:

• Diroton;
• Monopril;
• Enam;
• Enap.

Irritation of the stomach lining

The first to suffer from alcohol is the mucous membrane of the upper digestive tract. Fermentation products with carbon dioxide irritate the stomach walls. The reaction to this process is an increased release of hydrochloric acid. As a result, the acidity of the stomach rises. With this condition, you are more likely to develop ulcers, gastritis, enterocolitis, or cancer. The glands, which first produced a lot of gastric juice, gradually completely atrophy. For this reason, food enters the intestines undigested, which causes problems with stool.

The harm of beer to the liver and kidneys

Alcohol is the main enemy of the liver, which acts as a filter in the body. Its antitoxic function is impaired during the constant fight against beer alcoholism. In this state, the liver can no longer protect the body from toxic and potent substances. Trying to get rid of toxins, the organ becomes overwhelmed and worn out. Inflammation begins to develop inside the liver, which can lead to hepatitis or cirrhosis.

The kidneys also suffer no less. These organs maintain water-electrolyte and acid-base balance. Beer upsets their balance, so the kidneys begin to work hard. Due to the diuretic effect, important substances are washed out of the body: magnesium, potassium, vitamin C. Beer alcoholism leads to even more dangerous consequences:

• sclerosis of the renal vessels;
• hemorrhage in the kidney;
• the appearance of foci of death in these organs;
• kidney infarction;
• replacement of dead cells with connective tissue, which causes the kidneys to shrink and shrink.

Consequences of drinking beer

Almost all organs experience the negative influence of this drink: the brain, heart, stomach, kidneys, liver, etc. For this reason, potential complications can affect any of the vital systems of the human body. The harm of beer for men is manifested by the development:

• neuropathy;
• deterioration in hearing or vision;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• atherosclerosis;
• bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system;
• kidney failure;
• hypertension;
• spinal cord disorders;
• acidosis;
• hyponatremia.

Video

Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage. It evokes special sympathy for men, being both a festive drink, when any celebration or gatherings with friends, are not complete without it, and a drink of an ordinary day, when you can come home from work, relax in front of the TV with a bottle of this drink.

However, few people think about the consequences of drinking beer. Being a low-alcohol drink, beer has an effect on the entire body of a man.

Its mild effect, unlike spirits, is a trap, and a person who often drinks this alcohol does not think he has a problem.

To avoid the sad consequences, it is important to understand how beer affects a man's body and what consequences arise when drinking this drink.

The effect of the drink on the heart

Most often, it is men who suffer from heart problems. Men do not have the same hormonal protection as women, and the fast pace of life and frequent stress have a negative impact on both health in general and the heart. Drinking beer makes the situation worse.

Unlike spirits, beer consumption is measured not in glasses, but in liters. That is, such drinks are drunk in large quantities, which is already a burden on the organs, including the heart. A large amount of fluid intake causes the heart to increase pressure, since in a short time, at normal pressure, the body will not overtake the fluid that has come in.

The most negative consequence of drinking this drink is the so-called bull heart. Such a heart is characterized by an expansion of the organ cavity, thickening of the walls, a decrease in mitochondria and necrosis that occurs in the heart muscle. This follows from the previous example, since the beer contains carbon dioxide, which accelerates the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, and the frequent increase in pressure leads to an increase in heart volume and a hypertrophied left ventricle. Such an organ loses its strength, the myocardium becomes flabby, and a man who drinks beer increases the risk of getting diseases such as ischemia or angina pectoris, which ultimately turns into a heart attack.

One element that is part of the drink leads to the appearance of a bovine heart. We are talking about cobalt, its content in beer is ten times higher than the permissible norm. If it enters the heart along with beer, then this leads to the previously described result. In addition, cobalt has a negative effect on the liver and stomach.

What does the liver and stomach feel?

The next organ that suffers from beer on a par with the heart is the liver. With frequent use of this drink, the so-called fatty liver develops, that is, fatty degeneration of the organ. Like the heart, the liver increases in size, and the risk of contracting hepatitis increases several times. The onset of chronic hepatitis leads to the death of organ cells. In the future, this can lead to liver cirrhosis. Recently, the number of young people suffering from gastritis and gastric ulcer has been increasing. These diseases are literally getting younger. But what is the reason? And the problem lies in the very beer that is very popular with young guys, because the effect of beer on the body is very great.

The main factor that has a negative effect on the stomach is the content of the previously mentioned cobalt and carbon dioxide in the beer. In addition, fermentation products are part of the beer, all this explosive mixture irritates the walls of the organ, due to which the stomach produces more hydrochloric acid. This leads to an increase in acidity, then gastritis and ulcers, and the end result is stomach cancer.


Initially, a man develops a hypertrophic form, which is characterized by a thickened wall and an increased level of acidity. After a while, the wall becomes thinner, the acidity level decreases. All this happens against the background of depletion of the stomach's defenses, therefore the hypertrophic form of gastritis ceases to the atrophic stage, and this is a harbinger of cancer. This is the harmful effect of beer on the human body.

Endocrine system and hormones

The composition of beer contains toxic substances, including salts of heavy metals. They lead to undesirable changes in the endocrine system. Especially great harm of beer on a man's body is observed with constant use. The fact is that beer, especially unfiltered beer, contains phytoestrogens, which are somewhat similar to female sex hormones. As a result, the production of the male sex hormone - testosterone is suppressed, from which female signs begin to appear in men: breasts increase, fat is deposited like in women, that is, on the hips and sides, the pelvis expands.

In addition to all of the above, men have rounded shoulders, a so-called beer belly appears. In addition, the hair on the face and body is reduced, which clearly indicates the effect of beer on men and changes in the body. As a result, the man takes on feminine features.

As a result of phytoestrogens entering the male body, changes occur at the gene level, and the body itself begins to produce similar hormones. Testosterone is inhibited by estrogens, which leads to a decrease in libido. This is the effect of beer on the male body.

Thus, the effect of beer on the male body is great, and in most cases - harmful. In addition, the drink is so firmly included in the ordinary life of a person that the latter, without noticing it, becomes dependent on it, that is, we are talking about the development of beer alcoholism. Beer alcoholism is a prerequisite for the formation of alcohol dependence in general.

Is a light alcoholic drink traditionally considered for men. Representatives of the stronger sex are sure that the low alcohol content in foamy alcohol makes it less harmful than other strong drinks, and rarely think about how beer affects the male body.

Meanwhile, numerous studies show that this intoxicated product, containing many artificial additives, can be more dangerous than or, with constant use, causing great damage to a man's health.

Effects of beer on the male body

The negative effect of beer affects all vital systems of the male body. First of all, the urogenital area suffers from the use of a foamy drink. Alcohol of this type is a diuretic product and makes the kidneys work in an enhanced mode, increasing the load on the urinary organs by 2-3 times.

If a man often and in large quantities consumes a foamy drink, the kidneys wear out much faster, and this leads to impairment of their function, which in the most severe cases is fraught with the development of renal failure. Aldehydes, esters, dyes, flavors and other additives in the composition of a favorite male drink, which, when filtered, settle in the kidneys and negatively affect their tissues, contribute to the deterioration of the work of the paired organ.

There is no doubt about the genitals. Regular use of this type of alcohol impairs blood circulation in the pelvis and increases the risk of developing prostatitis.

Phytoestrogens, contained in large quantities in the foam, disrupt the hormonal background of the male body and provoke erection problems, reducing libido and impairing potency. Alcohol and harmful additives in the drink affect sperm quality and fertility and can increase the likelihood of developing infertility and conceiving a disabled child.

With constant use, phytoestrogens also change the appearance of a man, giving his figure typically feminine features. A lover of a foamy drink accumulates fat deposits on the thighs, increases the chest and abdomen, decreases muscle mass, and changes the timbre of the voice.

Beer has a negative effect on other organs as well. Among them:

1. Liver. This organ is the main filter that processes alcohol. When a foamy drink enters the body, the liver has to cope not only with alcohol, but also with other harmful components that make up such alcohol, due to which liver cells are damaged much faster and more strongly.
2. Stomach, gallbladder, pancreas. Beer disrupts digestive functions and strongly irritates the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, provoking inflammatory diseases.
3. Heart. The foamy drink several times increases the load on the heart and contributes to the premature wear of the organ.
4. Vessels. Carbon dioxide contained in beer fills the vessels and causes them to dilate, contributing to the development of varicose veins.

Another danger of the drink is that it is addictive several times faster than hard liquor. Brewery is a type of alcohol addiction and also requires treatment.

How beer affects the brain

The negative effect of beer on the male body extends to the main organ - the brain. The drink negatively affects the cerebral vessels and disrupts blood circulation in this area, due to which the areas of the brain that do not receive enough nutrition gradually die off. This leads to memory impairment, mental impairment and other complications.

Answering the question of how beer affects the brain, scientists argue that prolonged addiction to this drink can lead to dementia.

Is there any benefit

Studies were carried out, during which it was found out that the effect of beer on the organism of the stronger sex cannot be unequivocally called negative, since this drink also has some useful properties. Scientists identify the following positive qualities of foamy alcohol:

• reduces the level of bad cholesterol;
• normalizes blood pressure;
• promotes the activation of metabolic processes;
• stimulates the digestive tract;
• improves blood clotting;
• replenishes the level of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon;
• has a beneficial effect on the skeletal system, reducing the risk of developing osteoporosis.

The benefits of beer are preserved only with moderate consumption and only with the intake of a quality product made from natural products with the addition of a minimum amount of auxiliary components.

Safe use rules

To reduce the negative effect of beer on a man's body, when drinking this drink, you need to adhere to a number of important rules regarding the characteristics of drinking foamy alcohol.

The recommendations of the experts relate primarily to the quality of the product. It is necessary to drink only proven high quality beer purchased in specialized stores. You should not choose the cheapest foamy drinks, as they are often made from low-grade ingredients and can be very harmful to your health. In this case, it is best to give preference to unfiltered types of product.

You can not mix beer with other alcoholic beverages and drink it on an empty stomach.

The effect of beer on the male body is of interest to many. Advertising is accompanied by an inscription that is harmful to your health. But in the concept of "excessive" everyone puts their own meaning. In addition, there is an opinion that beer is healthy, not addictive, since it belongs to low-alcohol drinks. The supposedly beneficial properties of this drink are due to its preparation on the basis of barley, which contains many valuable elements. Let's try to figure out: is it as useful as they say, and what is the effect of beer on the male body.

How does beer affect the heart?

The greatest harm from this drink is received by the heart muscle. With daily use, the organ increases in size and its blood supply deteriorates. Experts call this condition "bovine heart syndrome." It provokes the appearance of heart failure and ischemia. Cobalt is used in beer production as a foam stabilizer. In the body of lovers of a foamy drink who consume it uncontrollably, the content of this chemical element can exceed the norm by ten times. But it is cobalt that is the main culprit in heart disorders.

On the stomach

And in the company of carbon dioxide, it has a devastating effect on the esophagus and stomach. In addition, fermentation products are also harmful to these organs, which constantly irritate the mucous membrane and provoke the secretion of juice in large quantities. All this makes the work of the digestive tract defective, and as a result, chronic gastritis may develop.

On the liver

Naturally, the liver also suffers from such abuse. The assertion that beer is a low-alcohol drink and is not as harmful as, for example, vodka is groundless. According to medical research, 80% of people who consume about ten liters of beer every week suffer from liver disorders, including cirrhosis. The organ tries its best to neutralize the effect of the drink on the body and therefore does not cope well with its other functions.

On the kidneys

Everyone has experienced the effect of beer on the kidneys: the desire to empty the bladder from excess fluid occurs very quickly when consumed. The fact is that under the influence of the drink, the acid-base balance normal for the body is disturbed, and its restoration requires more intensive work of the kidneys. Accordingly, the flow of urine will increase, which is evidence of organ congestion. And it can even lead to kidney hemorrhage.

Frequent and abundant beer libations overload the pancreas, reduce its functionality, which disrupts the metabolism of the body as a whole.

What is the harm for men?

What is the danger of the effect of beer on the male body? The fact is that when brewing beer, hops are used, in which the hormone phytoestrogen is present, which is an analogue of the female hormone progesterone. This substance suppresses the production of testosterone, causes disturbances in the functioning of the endocrine system and hormonal imbalances. In general, the effect of beer on the male body and potency has been studied for a long time.

Drinking a drink affects the appearance of a representative of the stronger sex and manifests itself in the form of the following symptoms:

• Hair falls out on the body.
• Lean muscle mass decreases.
• A beer belly appears.
• The timbre of the voice rises.
• Decreases in sexual activity.

What is the other effect of beer on the male body?

If you do not take action, it will lead to fatal consequences. Over time, these changes will be expressed by the extinction of emotions, changes in motor functions, as well as weakening of memory and absent-mindedness.

In addition to all of the above, beer abuse leads to personality degradation, lack of interests in life and narrowing of horizons. It should also be said that the frequent use of the intoxicated drink reduces libido and ultimately leads to sexual weakness. In addition, impaired testosterone synthesis has a negative impact on fertility. This is how beer affects the male body.

Beer myth-making

Beer lovers often talk about the usefulness, tradition and antiquity of this drink. In fact, people learned to brew a hoppy drink in time immemorial, and the author of the recipe remains unknown to this day. However, the brewing process was fundamentally different from the modern one. The technology by which the drink is brewed today has undergone significant changes over the centuries. What is now called beer differs in composition, color and effect on the human body. Initially, the intoxicated drink could be used to treat some diseases, but the current product of modern technologies does not have healing properties, and even quite the opposite. Systematic excessive use has a detrimental effect on all systems of the body and does not have a positive effect on any organ. We examined the negative effects of beer on the male body and reproduction.

What is beer made from?

The raw material for brewers is malt. After its processing, various minerals can be found in the drink, such as ions of potassium, calcium, phosphorus. Perhaps, in a small concentration, these elements can affect human health. But most of all, beer contains potassium ions, and they provoke increased urination and the elimination of chlorine, sodium and mineral salts from the body. That is why when drinking beer you always want salty food. The fact that malt contains vitamin B cannot be disputed.

But during the production process, its content significantly decreases, and there is no need to talk about any quantities significant for the body. All claims about the harmlessness of beer based on low alcohol content have no scientific basis. According to research by scientists, any amount of alcohol with systematic use is harmful to health over time. From the point of view of common sense, perceiving myths and stereotypes about the beneficial effects of beer on the male body is not a good idea.

The causes of beer alcoholism

Most beer fans never think about what makes them come back to drinking it again and again. As a rule, the active promotion and availability of this drink makes it attractive. However, beer alcoholism is gaining momentum and getting younger day by day. According to doctors, addiction to this drink is highly addictive, which is four times more than vodka. In addition, the pleasant taste and carbon dioxide are attractive to the body, and it does not react with such aggression as, for example, to vodka. Hops, used in brewing, are analogous to hemp in the plant world. When these plants are crossed, hybrids are obtained. Hops contain narcotic substances in small quantities. So beer is not at all safe for the male body.

Alcohol also belongs to this category of substances. That is why beer addiction develops very quickly and remains almost invisible for a long time. Research by specialists shows that alcoholism is formed even when drinking non-alcoholic beer (in which there is still a little alcohol). And from those types of intoxicated drink, which are distinguished by high strength, signs of drug withdrawal appear. It has a slightly bitter taste, which is provided by its constituent psychoactive substances. These components cause hallucinations, have a hypnotic and sedative effect. The latter fact, together with intoxication, is decisive in the development of alcoholism. A person who has formed an addiction cannot imagine life without the object of his adoration.

The biochemistry of the body is readjusted for the presence of beer. The situation is aggravated by the fact that neither the alcoholic himself nor his relatives until a certain moment consider it worthy of serious attention. The condition of the addict does not cause fear (think, I drank beer, it’s weak, it’s not vodka). This is where all the insidiousness of using hops lies. Not so long ago, cadaverine and histamine were found in this drink. Cadaverin is a substance belonging to the group of cadaveric poisons. The concentration of these substances in beer, of course, is not very high, but being destroyed in the intestines, they aggravate the symptoms of withdrawal.

Conclusion

The harm of beer to the male body has recently become a subject of study by specialists. With the spread of addiction, more attention has been paid to this phenomenon. Now we can make an unambiguous conclusion that beer has a detrimental effect on a person in any quantity.
