You Blush When You Drink Alcohol – You Might Have A Risk Of Heart Attack!
Blush on the face, which occurs in many people with alcohol consumption is a sign that the body is not converting well acetaldehyde, the toxic compound that occurs in the processing of alcoholic beverages, and it raises blood pressure and increases the risk of a heart attack. This claim by scientists from South Korean Chungam University is based on the study conducted on 1763 respondents.
“Although previously considered the unpleasant consequence of alcohol consumption, and was also linked to beverages allergy, redness of the face can be also an indicator for the high pressure in the blood vessels, which may eventually cause a stroke or heart attack,” said the presenter of the study, the doctor John Sung Kim.
These people have a higher risk of high blood pressure and thus also of heart attack and stroke, writes “Daily Mail”.
The risk is greatest in people who during a week are drinking more than four alcoholic drinks, and unlike them, those persons who do not blush, the risk of high blood pressure appears when drinking more than eight alcoholic drinks during the week
