Gut Health & Alcohol 🍷
Over-consumption of alcohol has been proven to have a negative impact on the gut. Those who consume alcohol regularly have higher rates of alcohol-induced oxidative stress and intestinal dysbiosis, which often leads to gastrointestinal inflammation and leaky gut syndrome.
Binge drinking (more than four drinks per event) can result in a rapid increase of bacteria toxins in the cell, inflammation, and disturbance of the immune system.
