What are the functions of liquor?

Liquor, also known as shochu, is a common alcoholic drink in daily life. However, I believe many people don't understand the efficacy of liquor, because what people usually hear most is to drink less liquor, because liquor is harmful to health. In fact, as long as you don't drink too much, drinking white wine in moderation is also good for your health.

The efficacy of liquor:

1, the main components of liquor are water and alcohol, and contain a very small amount of sodium, copper and zinc, and almost no vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Liquor has many functions, such as promoting blood circulation, stimulating appetite, relieving fatigue, keeping out cold and refreshing. Drinking a small amount of liquor, especially low-alcohol liquor, can dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, reduce the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

2, neurasthenia, memory loss, palpitation and insomnia: Salvia miltiorrhiza 300g, white wine 1 liter. Chopping Saviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, soaking in Chinese liquor for 15 days, filtering to obtain extractive solution, squeezing residue, mixing extractive solution with squeezed solution, filtering, and bottling. Three times a day, each time 10 ml, warm before meals.

3, blood deficiency and chlorosis, forgetfulness and palpitation, alopecia: 60 grams of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, 40 grams of Polygonum Multiflori Radix, 30 grams of Fructus Lycii, 0.8 grams of Aquilaria Resinatum powder, and 0.5 liters of 65438+ white wine. Mash the medicine into coarse powder, put it into a white gauze bag, soak it in Chinese liquor, seal it for 2 weeks, open it, filter to remove residue, and bottle it for later use. Twice a day, each time 10-30ml, drink warm on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.

4, dizziness, fatigue, backache, tinnitus: 50 grams of yam, 30 grams of Cornus officinalis, 30 grams of Schisandra chinensis, 30 grams of ginseng, 2 liters of white wine. Put the medicine in wine and soak it for 10 days before taking it. 20-30ml each time, 2-3 times a day.

Alcohol should be avoided.

Although liquor does have many functions, because liquor contains a lot of alcohol, excessive drinking will have adverse effects on health, ranging from treating diseases to life-threatening.

1. Drink once 1 small cup (15-25ml) with a daily limit of 50ml. Couples with family planning absolutely abstain from drinking for at least half a year.

2. When taking various sedatives, antibiotics and diabetes drugs, don't drink white wine, otherwise it may lead to diarrhea, headache, vomiting and even death.

If it feels cold indoors in winter, you can drink a small amount of white wine to keep out the cold. However, it should be noted that drinking white wine will be colder only when it is windy outside.

4. Eating some rice, steamed bread and other foods before drinking can reduce the harm of alcohol to gastrointestinal tract and liver, and reduce the occurrence of alcoholic fatty liver.

5, avoid drinking mixed wine. It is best not to mix alcoholic beverages such as liquor, wine and beer.

6, avoid drinking cold wine. Generally speaking, whether it is white wine or yellow wine, drinking hot wine is better than drinking cold wine.
