Brain damage from a little alcohol

There is no safe level of alcohol. A recent study has shown that as the prevalence of alcohol among the general population increases, so does the prevalence of various brain diseases.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers at Oxford University, was published on May 12. According to the report, for the study, they reviewed medical scans of the brains of 25,000 alcoholics in Britain.

According to Ania Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford University, researchers have found that alcohol damages the gray areas of the brain. This region of the brain is a vital part, where all the important information is prepared.

"The more people drink, the less gray matter they have," said Aniya Topiwala.

He added, ‘As we age, the size of the brain becomes smaller and more severe dementia occurs. As the size of the brain becomes smaller, its performance in memory tests becomes weaker.

"Although the effect of alcohol is limited (zero point eight percent), it is more effective than other variable risks," said Topiwala.

He described brain shrinkage and dementia as "variable risks" for reasons other than aging.

Researchers have found that any type of alcohol is harmful to the brain. Different types of alcohol, drinking habits and other health conditions have no effect on the brain.

Researchers have found no 'alcohol' safe for health. Wine, spirits or beer, all types of alcohol are harmful to brain health.

On the other hand, even a small amount of alcohol can not be safe from brain damage.

A 2016 study in the medical journal The Lancet found that one in ten people die from alcoholism. Alcohol causes various diseases. As a result, there is a huge risk of premature death of the drinker.

It said that in 2016, one in 10 people between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide died from alcoholism.

Sadie Boniface, the lead researcher at the UK's Drug Research Institute, said: Now, recent research has shown that there is no safe level of alcohol, even a small amount of alcohol is harmful to the brain. In fact, alcohol damages every part of the body and causes various diseases.
