Do you like
drinking?? Have you been told that drinking kills you brain cells??? I know
that most of people here who read this article do like drinking and if you want
to stop drink for that reason, I would tell you “Don’t do that”.
There are many claims of cons of
drinking alcohol like drinking alcohol could get yourself on fire or drinking
alcohol causes many disease. The claim of alcohol killing brain cells is one of
that and has been long promoted in order to encourage people to stop drinking.
This it is believed by lots of people because what people do is altered when
they are drunk, so that they are afraid to drink alcohol. Indeed, alcohol
actually causes liver diseases because it is a toxic for your livers, such as,
liver failure, cancer etc. However, alcohol doesn’t kill any brain cells at
all.
There is a study of this claim in
1993 by Grethe Jensen and co. The experiment was counting neurons in the brain
sample of alcoholics and non-alcoholics. There was no significant difference in
amount of neurons. This proved that alcohol doesn’t kill brain cells, but how
come people get drunk while brain cells still alive??
When people drink alcohol and
alcohol gets into the blood, it will damage tissue at
the end of neurons call dendrites. Dendrites have a role to send messages to
other nerve cells. This affects on learning skill at that time, coordination,
so that people always stumble, slur or make bad decisions when they are drunk.
Anyhow the damage done to neurons is reversible and this will induce to produce
more brain cells.

Still a lot
of benefits of drinking alcohol for who want to stop drinking for other reasons
though. For instant, drinking alcohol can lower your risks of your cardiovascular
disease or heart disease. It will raise levels of good cholesterols, so your
hearts will be better protected. Drinking can also lower chance of diabetes as
well.
There are some claims that drinking
alcohol is bad thing at all. To be honest, alcohol is good for your health, your
brain if you don’t drink too much. For the claim of alcohol killing brain cells,
it is wrong. If you are worried about your cleverness being worse, then don’t
worried and keep drinking. It will not affect your brain at all. I would
rather suggest you worry more about how crazy or funny you are when you are
drunk. Big thanks for reading our blog.
