What is the reason for drinking blush

summary

Recently, many students have said that they want to drink. Of course, it's a very happy thing for students to get together. It's inevitable to drink. But I found that not only am I blushing when I drink alone, but also many students blush when they drink. Some students have no symptoms of blushing when they drink. At that time, I was thinking about the reason? Is it because they don't drink enough, or is it because of their physical factors? In fact, I also want to know the answer, why a drink on the red face, let's understand.

What is the reason for drinking blush

First, there are two kinds of enzymes in the human body that can produce effects on alcohol. One is called alcohol dehydrogenase, which can quickly convert alcohol into acetaldehyde. People with a large amount of this enzyme in the body can often blush within a short time after drinking. The other is called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. People who drink and blush only have the former enzyme but not the latter.

Second, acetaldehyde is rapidly accumulated in the body and can't be metabolized. Therefore, if you blush for a long time, you can only expect a group of enzymes with low specificity of P450 in the liver to metabolize the alcohol slowly. The lack of aldehyde dehydrogenase in people who easily blush after drinking will lead to the accumulation of a large amount of acetaldehyde in the body, which will make the liver decompose slowly and aggravate the burden on the liver.

Third: if you don't blush after drinking, but you lack two kinds of enzymes in your body, this kind of people tend to eat more alcohol than they can bear, and the burden on your liver will be heavier than you think. A small number of patients with alcohol induced blush feel hot on their face within 5-10 minutes of alcohol absorption. At the same time, flushing, pulsatile headache, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, sweating, thirst and other symptoms appear on their face or whole body skin. At this time, people think that they are drunk, which is called acetaldehyde syndrome in medicine.

matters needing attention

In order to avoid the health problems caused by blushing, we should learn to control our emotions, maintain stability, and avoid drinking too much. We should eat less spicy raw and cold food, less greasy fried food, more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid excessive drinking, so as not to cause physical effects.
