  • While many people associate alcohol consumption with liver disease and addiction, its effects go far beyond that. Here are nine lesser-known health risks linked to alcohol consumption

The article from Moneycontrol discusses nine hidden health risks associated with alcohol consumption. It highlights that alcohol can lead to heart damage by weakening the heart muscle, potentially causing cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure. It also affects digestion by increasing stomach acid production, which can lead to gastritis or ulcers. Alcohol can impair liver function, leading to conditions like fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Furthermore, it can increase cancer risk, particularly for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and breast. Alcohol also impacts mental health, contributing to depression and anxiety, and can lead to sleep disturbances despite its initial sedative effect. Additionally, it can weaken the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections and diseases. The article also notes the risk of alcohol dependency and the potential for accidents and injuries due to impaired judgment and coordination. Lastly, it mentions the lesser-known effects like nutrient deficiencies and the impact on bone health, potentially leading to osteoporosis.
