The connection between alcohol and beauty

It has long been said that "alcohol is the best medicine," and it has been a good partner throughout the long history of mankind, playing a major role in communication between people, such as at ceremonial occasions marking important milestones in life, such as weddings, funerals, and other rites of passage, as well as when welcoming and sending off.

Research has shown that people who drink moderate amounts of alcohol have a lower mortality rate than those who do not drink at all or those who drink large amounts, and drinking a moderate amount of alcohol can have many benefits for health and beauty, such as a relaxing effect and improving blood circulation.

Types of alcohol and their effects

【wine】

●Beauty effects

It has a warming effect on the body, and its aroma has a relaxing effect. Grape skins contain the antioxidant polyphenols, and red wine made from grape skins has the effect of removing active oxygen that causes aging and blemishes, suppressing bad cholesterol, and preventing arteriosclerosis and dementia. White wine, which does not use the skins, has an intestinal sterilizing effect and improves the intestinal environment. It is rich in potassium, which also improves metabolism. Champagne's fatigue recovery effect has also attracted attention.

●Appropriate daily serving size
1-2 glasses of 14% alcohol

【Beer】

●Beauty effects

The carbonation stimulates the stomach and intestines. It also has a diuretic effect, which helps to flush out waste products and detoxify the body. It is also rich in B vitamins, which are good for beautiful skin. It has a low calorie content of 40 kcal per 100 ml, so it is recommended for those on a diet. However, the diuretic effect can easily lead to dehydration, which can lead to dry skin. It also cools the body, so be careful not to drink too much.

●Appropriate daily serving size
Approximately one medium-sized bottle (500ml) of beer with an alcohol content of 5%

【Japanese sake】

●Beauty effects

Rice koji, an ingredient in sake, inhibits the production of melanin, which causes blemishes, and has a whitening effect. It is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, which moisturize the skin and lead to a healthy condition. This effect may be the reason why people who work in sake breweries are said to have beautiful skin. It also improves blood flow, so it is effective in improving poor circulation.

●Appropriate amount
Approximately 1 go (180ml) of 15% alcohol

So far, I have introduced the benefits of alcohol, but this does not mean that we should promote drinking alcohol just because it has beauty benefits.
Some people have a constitution that makes them tolerant of alcohol while others are tolerant.

When breaking down alcohol, the body consumes large amounts of water and B vitamins, which can cause dryness. Excessive drinking can also make your sleep shallow, which can lead to lack of sleep and slow down your skin's turnover, which can lead to rough skin.

After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of alcohol, drink the right amount at a pace that suits you and enjoy your alcoholic beverage.
