Extractions: I t has been a long time since anyone has seriously asked me whether drinking beer is a good way to replenish carbohydrates. But people do ask whether drinking a beer or two before exercise will hurt exercise performance. And even more frequently, clients have questions about whether drinking a little bit of alcohol may actually be heart-healthy. Thanks to an ever-growing body of research on the topic, we now have more answers to those questions, as well as more information on the problems related to alcohol abuse.

Home Alcohol, or ethyl alcohol (ethanol), refers to the intoxicating ingredient found in wine, beer and hard liquor. Alcohol arises naturally from carbohydrates when certain micro-organisms metabolize them in the absence of oxygen, called fermentation. Beer, wine and other liquor contain different amounts of alcohol. The amount of alcohol in distilled liquor is known as proof. Proof refers to the amount of alcohol in the liquor; for example, 100 proof liquor contains 50% alcohol, 40 proof liquor contains 20% alcohol, and so on. Traditional wine has approximately 8-14% alcohol, while regular beer has 4-6% alcohol.

The fact is, it's the alcohol in beer, wine or distilled spirits that can have a protective effect against heart disease and stroke in older adults. It's not the color of type of beverage you drink. Your neighbor says that three drinks a day keeps the blood thin and the heart strong. The fact is, the protective effect of beverage alcohol can be achieved with as little as one drink every other day. And more than two drinks a day can increase your risk of health problems in the short-term and the long run. Your neighbor says....Hey, what does he know? If you choose to drink, you know there are benefits and risks.

Extractions: In 1991, the CBS news program 60 Minutes ran a story called "The French Paradox" which suggested that drinking alcohol, or at least red wine, reduced the risk of heart disease. Many people considered this a medical recommendation to drink. Epidemiological studies indicate that moderate drinkers live longer than non-drinkers and heavy drinkers. The reasons are not clear. In 2001, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Womens Hospital have found that moderate alcohol consumption among people who have a specific version of a gene that metabolizes alcohol have a greater reduction in risk of heart disease and higher HDL (good cholesterol) levels ( read story ). In addition, other Harvard researchers found that people with heart disease who consume an average of 14 alcoholic drinks a week appear less likely to die from a heart attack than nondrinkers ( read story The Harvard scientists caution that heavy consumption of alcohol can lead to negative cardiovascular outcomes such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death. Other doctors warn that even moderate drinking may raise the risks of colon and breast cancer, some types of stroke, fetal damage, driving accidents, abusive behavior, and criminal activities.

Regarding the text... 1) Aaron and his sons had just been consecrated for their duties. 2) Offerings, according to the instructions of God, are prepared and God consumes them to show His approval and to confirm the priesthood in the eyes of the people. 3) Two priests, Nadab and Abihu, then offered incense to God. They used strange fire and were devoured. 4) We then read some instruction that surely was given to help keep this tragedy from recurring. Read Lev. 10:8-11 5) Im sure weve all read or seen something on the most recent studies about the effects of alcohol. (One drink a day is good for you. Help you live longer.) 6) But, is that all there is to it? Millions of consciences have been eased by these reports. 2. Science says its good for you. Does the Bible really say NO?

Extractions: Previous Health Notes Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood flowing against artery walls. A blood pressure reading involves two numbers. The first, the systolic, measures the pressure on your arteries when your heart beats and pushes blood through your circulatory system. The second, the diastolic, measures the pressure on your arteries between beats when your heart is resting. A normal blood pressure reading would be 120/80. A diastolic reading between 90 and 104 indicates mild hypertension. Moderate hypertension would have a diastolic reading between 105 and 114. A reading of more than 115 is considered severe hypertension. There are simple ways to bring down your high blood pressure and keep it there. Treating even mild hypertension is considered beneficial. This is a relatively new concept, so if your doctor told you in the past that treating your mild high blood pressure was unnecessary, ask again. High blood pressure can be lowered with medication, but it will rise again if you stop taking your prescription. Take your medication at the same time every day. Make it a part of your regular routine. If you miss a day, don't double up on a dose. Call your doctor for advice.

Extractions: Alcohol and Your Health Of course, alcohol consumption can have many negative affects immediately on your physical health such as having a hang over or even alcohol poisoning, which is discussed in another area of this section. And there are other emotional consequences that can often be associated with consuming too much alcohol, such as making poor decisions and choices that can sometimes be life-changing. However, it is the continued use of alcohol over a period of time that is normally considered when discussing alcohol and health consequences. Studies have shown that alcohol increases the risk of a number of diseases. AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases There's a definite connection between alcohol and AIDS. Remember, alcohol decreases judgment. You are prone to take risks when you are drunk that you would never consider and with people youd never consider when you are sober. This same lack of judgment may also result in sexually transmitted diseases.

We've heard about the potential health benefits of red wine, but two recent studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that a light-to-moderate intake of any kind of alcoholic beverage may be beneficial. In one analysis, more than 2200 Connecticut-based men and women over age 65 provided information as to how much alcohol they had consumed within the previous month. About half were non-drinkers. The alcohol drinkers were divided into light drinkers who usually consumed up to 1 to 1.5 drinks per day, and moderate drinkers, who consumed up to an average 1.5 to 4 drinks per day. (Heavier drinkers were excluded.) Researchers then kept track of the participants over the next 14 years, noting who in the group suffered from heart failure during that time. After taking into account factors that can affect heart healthage, gender, and a medical history of diabetes or high blood pressureresearchers found that both light and moderate drinkers were less likely than non-drinkers to suffer from heart failure.
