Alcohol Detox Bundle

Effects of alcohol can vary widely based on several factors. These factors include quantity consumed, the frequency of consumption, and the individual's unique characteristics like body weight, sex, genetics, and overall health status. Some of its effects on the human body are as follows: ● Brain - Alcohol acts as a central nervous system depressant, which can slow down brain function, impair cognitive abilities, and affect coordination and judgment. Alcohol enhances dopamine release, therefore it can also create feelings of pleasure. ● Heart - Heavy and chronic alcohol consumption can lead to various cardiac problems including cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscles), arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), and increased risk of stroke (Tian et al., 2023). ● Liver - Being the primary site of alcohol metabolism, the liver is affected the most, leading to fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer and eventually liver failure (Osna et al., 2017). ● Pancreas - Alcohol consumption can cause pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). ● Digestive system - Alcohol abuse may cause inflammation of the digestive tract, ulceration and cancers. ● Cancer - Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of several cancers including those of the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, liver, breast and colon.

It is important to include a thorough medical history, physical examination and lab tests including liver function tests, complete blood counts, stool analysis, pancreatic enzyme assays to assess the impact of alcohol. Chronic alcohol consumption can also lead to the deficiency of vitamins like B1 (thiamine), B9 (folate), B12 (cobalamin), A, D , E, K, C and depletion of critical minerals like magnesium and zinc.

It is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol altogether. But if alcohol is consumed, it is recommended that it is done with moderation. The following are some precautions that can be taken to drink responsibly and safely : ● Limit alcohol intake and pace drinks. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention recommends not more than 2 drinks a day for men or 1 drink a day for women (one drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer (5% alcohol content), 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol content), 8 ounces of malt liquor (7% alcohol) or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (40% alcohol content)). ● Avoid drinking on an empty stomach and always eat before drinking. Consuming a protein shake prior to drinking may reduce the absorption rate and prevent sudden spikes in blood alcohol levels. ● Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water while drinking. Drink enough water and consume electrolytes after drinking to prevent dehydration and associated symptoms. Detox juices may be taken before and after drinking. ● Avoid mixing alcohol with other drugs or medications. ● Consume a diet rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and sulfur containing amino acids. (Cloyd, 2025) ● Ensure adequate sleep and rest. ● Next morning take 1 extra serving of detox juice.
