In January, how does Mexico's pause affect mental and physical health?

Science magazine staff New Scientist researched how abandoning alcohol for a month and how useful it is to physical and mental health.

Many people who consume alcohol choose to give up short periods, but there is no scientific record that this is beneficial to health. So the new staff Scientist researched the London University Institute of Mercy and Health.

The liver plays an important role in over 500 vital processes in the functioning and digesting of food, decomposing and balancing hormones. In 2009, 11,574 people died in England, and a third died because of excessive alcohol consumption. Most of the details we know about the liver come from studies that have been done with chronic liver problems, most of which consume alcohol. And recent studies have focused on the functioning of healthy people's liver.

On October 5, the following year, 14 members of the staff of the scientific magazine considered themselves normal alcohol consumers went to do some tests at London's Royal Hospital. They were asked about their health and their alcohol report, then their liver was scan by ultrasound to see their fat. Then they gave blood samples that were used to analyze metabolic chemicals associated with liver and general health.

For the next 10 weeks, 10 staff members did not consume alcohol, while 4 continued to consume regularly. On November 9, everyone went back to the hospital to repeat their tests.

One staff member, Yalan, found that there was no change in the analysis parameters for the four staff members who had not stopped alcohol during the same period.

But the changes were dramatic for the other 10 members who did not consume alcohol.

Their fat amount dropped by over 15%, and almost 20% to some of them. Yalan says that this is very important because acumulation of fat in the liver is a presumption for its damage.

Then came another surprise, the glucose level for those who did not consume alcohol dropped by over 16%, from 5.1 to 4.3 million per litre. The normal blood glucose level is between 3.9 and 5.6 million per litre.

But the benefits were not just physical. The quality of sleep improved significantly. The concentration rate increased by 18%. This represents an important set of quality life and performance at work,” says Jalan.

The only thing that could be considered negative was less contact with people.

“Our experiment does not indicate how long this improvement can last. However, this is a basis for other studies,” says Jalan.

It's interesting here when a group of English people who don't consider themselves strong drinkers, their liver fat levels change, their cholesterol and blood sugar levels within a month, and this helps them to lose weight. If someone had a health product that would make all these health improvements within a month, they would have bought it immediately,” says Moore.

These results show that even a brief period of alcohol shortages positively affect liver health,” says Sharon. /Oculus News
