Why Hangovers and the Health Impacts of Drinking Alcohol Get Worse as You Age
Why Hangovers and the Health Impacts, of Drinking Alcohol , Get Worse as You Age.
HuffPost reports that many people
lose the enzyme to metabolize
alcohol as they grow older.
.
According to the current Dietary Guidelines for
Americans, moderate drinking is defined as two drinks
per day for men and one drink per day for women.
.
Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, a geriatrician and
dementia expert, warns that alcohol
impacts the body depending on your age.
According to Landsverk, a person's twenties are
a resilient time for the body, meaning that
hangovers aren't as bad as they will be in later decades.

The liver and brain have the
most resilience during that time.
The frontal lobes (reasoning,
and judgment) are not quite developed.

One is more likely to be open
to drinking more or taking more
risks, and this can set habits that
will cause problems down the line, Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, geriatrician and dementia expert, via HuffPost.
One's thirties, according to Landsverk, are similar to
a person's twenties, as long as they are drinking
moderately and keeping their overall health in mind.
.
By a person's forties and fifties, Landsverk
says that more health risks begin to
be associated with consuming alcohol.
.
Alcohol, besides the vascular
damage and dementia risks,
increases the risk of breast
cancer, esophageal cancer
and liver cancer (after disease), Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, geriatrician and dementia expert, via HuffPost.
Once a person hits their sixties, even moderate
drinking can impact health, as older people are more
likely to lose the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase,
which allows the body to metabolize alcohol.
.
Older people have less reserve in the
brain, liver and kidneys.

to the brain from even one glass a
day is worse [when you’re over 60], Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, geriatrician and dementia expert, via HuffPost
Markers of a Good , Sushi Restaurant.
HuffPost spoke with sushi chefs to find out what makes a good, and bad, sushi establishment.
Sushi Rice.
Expertly prepared sushi rice retains its delicate, fluffy texture. The seasoning is perfectly balanced with a touch of sweet, tart and brininess. It is served at about 37 degrees Celsius ― body temperature, Hidekazu Tojo, the chef at Tojo’s Restaurant in Vancouver, via HuffPost.
Bad sushi rice would be "undercooked,
too sweet, too salty or too dry.".
Seafood Quality.
If the server or chef highlights seasonal sushi in addition to the menu, that is a good sign for the sushi program, Masaharu Morimoto, who owns Japanese restaurants
around the world, via HuffPost.
Warning signs for poor fish
quality are things like discoloration, browning and a lack of firmness, Elijah Lehrer, sushi chef and vice president of culinary
at Bamboo Sushi, via HuffPost.
Chef Skill.
Skillful sushi chefs can also
indicate a good sushi restaurant. Fresh grating wasabi for some sushi courses is a good sign here. Describing each piece of fish in its Japanese and English name shows the attention to detail there, too, Masaharu Morimoto, who owns Japanese restaurants
around the world, via HuffPost.
“Poorly made sushi shows a lack of passion and good training,” Morimoto said. .
Price.
Good quality seafood comes
at a cost, and unfortunately, costs continue
to rise. Offering sushi at very low prices suggests that the restaurant may not be
sourcing high-quality ingredients, Hidekazu Tojo, the chef at Tojo’s Restaurant in Vancouver, via HuffPost.
The experts say cleanliness and hospitality are also things to consider, just as you likely
would with other food establishments

New Study Supports Evidence , That Summer 2023 Was the , Hottest in Over 2 Millennia.
According to an analysis of tree rings going all the
way back to year one, 2023 was the hottest summer
in the Northern Hemisphere in over 2000 years. .
According to an analysis of tree rings going all the
way back to year one, 2023 was the hottest summer
in the Northern Hemisphere in over 2000 years. .
HuffPost reports that scientists analyzed over
10,000 tree rings to determine temperature
levels dating back two millennia.
The team from the University of Cambridge and the
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that the
summer of 2023 was 2.2 degrees Celsius above average.
The temperature from June to August 2023 was
compared to average temperatures from the
same period between year one and 1890. .
When you look at the long sweep
of history, you can see just how
dramatic recent global warming is. , Ulf Büntgen, Cambridge Department of Geography, via HuffPost.
2023 was an exceptionally hot
year, and this trend will continue
unless we reduce greenhouse
gas emissions dramatically, Ulf Büntgen, Cambridge Department of Geography, via HuffPost.
HuffPost reports that 2023 saw global record-breaking
ocean temperatures, widespread wildfires
across the continent and scorching heat in cities.
It’s true that the climate is always
changing, but the warming in 2023,
caused by greenhouse gases, is additionally
amplified by El Niño conditions, so we end up
with longer and more severe heat waves
and extended periods of drought, Jan Esper, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
and lead author of the paper, via HuffPost.
