hazardous-effects-of-alcohol

Drinking too much – on a single occasion or over time – can take a serious toll on your health.  Here’s how alcohol can affect your body; it can cause serious damages to your brain, heart, liver pancreas and can cause other disease such as  cancers  (throat, mouth, nose, etc. )
  • Brain:
Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination.  
  • Heart:
Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the heart, causing problems including:
 
        *Cardiomyopathy – Stretching and drooping of heart muscle 
           *Arrhythmias – Irregular heart beat 
           *Stroke 
            *High blood pressure  
Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol   may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease.
  • Liver:
Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a variety of problems and liver inflammations including: 
               *Steatosis, or fatty liver 
               *Alcoholic hepatitis 
               *Fibrosis 
               *Cirrhosis
  • Pancreas:
Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion. 
  • Cancer:
Drinking too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the:
        *Mouth 
          * Esophagus 
          *Throat 
           *Liver 
           *Breast
  • Immune System:
Drinking too much can weaken your immune system, making your body a much easier target for disease.  Chronic drinkers are more liable to contract diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis than people who do not drink too much.  Drinking a lot on a single occasion slows your body’s ability to ward off infections – even up to 24 hours after getting drunk.

11 Danger Effects Of Smoking To Your Health


Danger-effects-in-smoking
Smoking is becoming common nowadays to everyone both young and old. Day-in day-out many people are being introduced in to it. Some now turn into chain smokers while others into casual smokers.  Some of then are trying to quit it for live but find it difficult to stop and develop serious health complications.
  • Ears
Hearing loss. Smoking reduces the oxygen supply to the cochlea, a snail-shaped organ in the inner ear. This may result in permanent damage to the cochlea and mild to moderate hearing loss.

  • Eyes

Blindness and night vision. Smoking causes physical changes in the eyes that can threaten your eyesight. Nicotine from cigarettes restricts the production of a chemical necessary for you to be able to see at night. Also, smoking increases your risk of developing cataracts and oracular degeneration (both can lead to blindness).

  • Mouth

Cavities. Smoking takes a toll on your mouth. Smokers have more oral health problems than non-smokers, like mouth sores, ulcers and gum disease. You are more likely to have cavities and lose your teeth at a younger age. You are also more likely to get cancers of the mouth and throat.

  • Face

Smoker’s face. Smoking can cause your skin to be dry and lose elasticity, leading to wrinkles and stretch marks. Your skin tone may become dull and grayish. By your early 30s, wrinkles can begin to appear around your mouth and eyes, adding years to your face.



  • Stressed heart

Smoking raises your blood pressure and puts stress on your heart. Over time, stress on the heart can weaken it,  making it less able to pump blood to other parts of your body. Carbon monoxide from inhaled cigarette smoke also contributes to a lack of oxygen, making the heart work even harder. This increases the risk of heart disease, including heart attacks.


  • Sticky blood

Smoking makes your blood thick and sticky. The stickier the blood, the harder your heart must work to move it around your body. Sticky blood is also more likely to form blood clots that block blood flow to your heart, brain, and legs. Over time, thick, sticky blood damages the delicate lining of your blood vessels. This damage can increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke.

  • Deposits Of Fats

Smoking increases the amount of cholesterol and unhealthy fats circulating in the bloods, leading to unhealthy fatty deposits. Over time, cholesterol, fats, and other debris build up on the walls of your arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries and blocks normal blood flow to the heart, brain, and legs. Blocked blood flow to the heart or brain can cause a heart attack or stroke. Blockage in the blood vessels of your legs could result in the amputation of your toes or feet.



  • Scarred Lung

Smoking causes inflammation in the small airways and tissues of your lungs. This can make your chest feel tight or cause you to wheeze or feel short of breath. Continued inflammation builds up scar tissue, which leads to physical changes to your lungs and airways that can make breathing hard. Years of lung irritation can give you a chronic cough with mucus.



  • Respiratory Infections.

 Your airways are lined with tiny brush like hairs, called cilia. The cilia sweep out mucus and dirt so your lungs stay clear. Smoking temporarily paralyzes and even kills cilia. This makes you more at risk for infection. Smokers get more colds and respiratory infections than non-smokers.



  • Bigger belly.

Smokers have bigger bellies and less muscle than non-smokers. They are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, even if they don’t smoke every day. Smoking also makes it harder to control diabetes once you already have it. Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, and amputations. And may cause serious  damage if not attend to.



  • Reducing in estrogen levels

Smoking lowers a female’s level of estrogen. Low estrogen levels can cause dry skin, thinning hair, and memory problems. Women who smoke have a harder time getting pregnant and having a healthy baby. Smoking can also lead to early menopause, which increases your risk of developing certain diseases (like heart disease)
