Some popular products do not bring the body practically no use. Long-term or permanent abstinence from them can have a beneficial effect on the body and reduce the risk of premature death.

On the eve of the holidays, the Express portal reminds that complete abstinence from alcohol helps the body to recover in several ways.

After just a few weeks without alcohol, the liver begins to recover, says Dr. Jake Williams. Chronic alcohol consumption for several years can cause serious damage to this organ, reducing its ability to filter toxins.

Alcohol, according to British doctors, is one of the main sources of cardiovascular diseases. It can also damage the digestive system. In addition, men who abuse alcohol are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction, and women may experience fertility problems if they are of reproductive age.

Alcohol, doctors note, interferes with the normal absorption of vitamins and minerals from food. It weakens the immune system, which increases the risk of serious diseases such as pneumonia.

Chances of throat, oral, esophageal, and breast cancer also increase in chronic drinkers.
