Scientists from the University of London London ( London, UK) said that consuming a maximum of 105gr of alcoholic substances per week can reduce the possibility of heart attack, stroke or chest cramps in cardiovascular patients. If calculated relatively, this figure is equivalent to about 6 cups of mid-sized beer or a little over a bottle of wine.
However, scientists emphasize that they do not encourage cardiovascular patients who do not drink alcohol to do this.
Our research shows that people with cardiovascular disease do not need to stop drinking alcoholic beverages to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Drinking no more than 6 glasses of beer a week is fine, it even helps patients have a more positive mentality, but more than this amount should not be done.
If you drink too many alcoholic beverages, you are at risk of developing other more dangerous diseases. Therefore, cardiovascular patients who are not addicted to alcohol should continue to maintain this healthy habit Professor Chengyi Ding, head of the research team, said that the University College London study used data from 48,423 adults with cardiovascular disease from the Bank for Medical England to learn about their alcohol consumption habits as well as reports of sudden heart attacks and strokes over a period of 20 years.
Investigation results show that people who drink 15 grams of alcoholic substances per day (1 cup of medium-sized beer) are at lower risk of recurrent stroke, angina or death than those who do not drink alcohol. Not only that, people who drink more than 62gr of alcoholic substances per day (4 glasses of beer) also do not show any signs of increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Similar to the discovery of British colleagues, experts from Massachusetts General Hospital (USA) in May 2021 also published a report on moderate daily alcohol consumption that can reduce the risk of death for people with cardiovascular disease. Accordingly, "a moderate amount of alcohol per day" is drinking too much beer, only one cup for women and 2 cups for men.
We believe that a moderate amount of alcohol can have an impact on the brain, helping patients relax, reduce stress levels, and perhaps through these mechanisms, reduce the rate of cardiovascular complications Dr. Kenechukwu Mezue, a member of the research team from Massachusetts General Hospital, shared.
