MALE MENOPAUSE: HEALTH AND CHECK-UPS (ALCOHOL)
Alcohol in moderation is acceptable but during M-M a man can easily go overboard and become dependent on it for its relaxing effects, finding he can only go about life if he is supported by vodka and other spirits.
In Britain social drinking is generally considered as about five measures of spirits, wine or beer each day. In this context the official British measurement establishes that У2 pint of beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 glass of sherry and 1 tot of spirits each equals 1 unit of alcohol. More than five drinks a day and not only do you run the risk of alcohol dependence but also the risk of damaging your liver and probably incurring problems at home and at work. A man with a blotchy complexion, impeded speech, erratic action and poor memory is an example of a man who drinks.
For anyone trying to diet, alcohol can be a particular enemy. Not only is it high in unnecessary calories but it also undermines willpower. An alcoholic will lose his appetite but for most men the more they drink the more they can eat of carbohydrates and fatty foods.
To survive, go carefully with drink and try to have regular days when you drink little or nothing at all.
