How does alcohol make you feel? Happier? Calmer? Friendlier? The truth is, we enjoy the effect alcohol has on us – and, in moderation, studies prove there are few ill effects*. But what about if you drink too much, too often?
A surprising study
According to Harvard Medical School, one 30-year study at the University of Oxford found that, over time, the more people drank, the more the hippocampus – the area of the brain associated with reasoning and memory – shrank, affecting cognitive performance:
Those who had the equivalent of four or more drinks a day had almost six times the risk of hippocampal shrinkage as did nondrinkers, while moderate drinkers had three times the risk. – Harvard Medical School
Further evidence
Apparently, this isn’t the first time that this link had been tested. An earlier study, from 2001, found that the actual volume of the brain shrank in proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed – though, incredibly, the brain was able to recover somewhat if the drinking stopped, making it hard to gauge the long-term effect on brain health.
Atrophy (shrinkage) was greater even in light and moderate drinkers than in teetotalers…but the meaning of the MRI scans is still far from clear. – Harvard Medical School
Alcohol: pros & cons
Finally, Harvard was quick to highlight some of the positives and negatives of moderate drinking, including:
- Improved heart health (for instance, reduced risk of heart attack)
- Lower risk of gallstones and diabetes
- Psychological and social benefits
- Increased lifetime risk of breast cancer
Detoxing with NAD+ IV Therapy
In our own research, we’ve discovered NAD+, a form of the natural NAD molecule found in all our cells, has huge benefits for brain health and for detoxification. With alcohol dependency, levels of NAD are depleted; in addition, typical alcohol detox programs, which use benzodiazepine to manage withdrawal, increase a stress-inducing chemical and decrease mood-boosting chemicals.
NAD+ IV Therapy can negate the effects of this stress-inducing chemical – glutamate – while restoring mental and cognitive function.
