Causes of alcoholism

1. One of the main causes of alcoholism is jealousy. Doctors estimate that 80% of alcoholics are jealous people. The vast majority of them are men. In women jealousy is different. A man drinks because he wants to dream and see himself as a strong and successful person in life. And alcohol gives such illusion, and the man constantly uses it.
2. Overwork. A good glass of wine cheers up and creates the illusion of perfect health. Some men are predisposed to alcoholism due to the nature of his character: suspiciousness, and suggestibility. They think that the others laugh at them, and consider them an inferior human. They suffer and seek consolation in wine.
3. Poor conditions of family life (e.g. small flat), heredity.

Four and a half million French people are alcoholics “at will”, and they are very offended when someone is telling them about it. Parents, relatives, and teachers should strictly follow that children and adolescents do not consume alcoholic drinks. Do not drink on an empty stomach: Alcohol rapidly enters the blood, affects the stomach and nervous system. Alcoholic drinks are better stand by the body when it enters the stomach during a meal and with small doses. Alcoholics with a good appetite will stand longer than the others, but nevertheless, but then the result will be disastrous. Usually, it is rarely when men suffering from chronic fatigue, have a normal appetite.

Alcoholic action on the body

All the chemical reactions that provide the normal state of the organism are violated: alcohol poison accumulates in the blood, affects the most sensitive organs such as the nervous system, liver, stomach and other digestive organs, brain, and heart. Experiments have shown that alcohol poison in the brain, even with the mild intoxication, has an irreversible effect on the brain tissue. The poorly protected nervous system is slowly going down. “Remote Control”, located in the brain, is unable to coordinate properly, and all the protection systems get tired and are failed. This fatigue makes them even more unprotected and a vicious circle is closed up.

Alcoholism symptoms

First of all, there is bad feeling in the mouth at awakening, sometimes vomiting. At night, you have poor sleep, nightmares, accompanied by delirium. The visual illusions with fantastic content may occur, and then the hallucinations: an alcoholic sees a lot of insects, animals, snakes, and black moth.

How to treat alcoholism?

First of all, it is needed to find its cause: jealousy, inferiority complex, timidity, a desire to escape from reality and eliminate the side effects of alcoholism. To neutralize the effect of alcohol poison on the body, we recommend taking B vitamins. Turn to the doctor immediately and you will be prescribed some drugs which may cause aversion to alcohol, as well as soothing and general health-improving medication. In severe and neglected cases the doctor may prescribe a course of psychotherapy.

Tobacco smoking

In Europe and America, scientists and doctors carry out numerous experiments and make statistical tables. All data from these experiments and statistical calculations confirm the conclusions of the American Cancer Society. There is a close correlation between the fact of cigarette smoking and the possibility of lung cancer. The risk is directly proportional to the number of smoked cigarettes. For example, a man who smokes 15 cigarettes every day, and non-smokers “have a chance” to die from lung cancer 15:1. Smokers die not only from lung cancer. They suffer from cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary emphysema. Smokers rarely live till sixty-five years.

Nicotine action on the body

There are three groups of harmful substances: toxins, carcinogens and irritants.
Carbon monoxide has the most irritating effect on the body. Anyone who smokes a pack of cigarettes in 7 hours will saturate his/her blood with carbon monoxide. Other irritants are oxides of sulfur and organic by-products.
The main carcinogenic substance is benzopirin.
Toxic substances are pyridine, ammonia, cyanic ammonia and especially nicotine. Nicotine acts on the mucous membranes of the stomach and larynx.

Denicotined tobacco

Nowadays some tobacco factories are using denicotining process. But even denicotined tobacco contains 0,90% of nicotine. On the other hand, the means used for denicotining process contain irritants and toxic substances. Effects of nicotine on the body are expressed in violation of the function of the sympathetic nervous system and the destruction of vitamin C.

How to quit smoking?

The most logical way to quit smoking is gradual reduction of the number of smoked cigarettes per day. But it does not give the desired results. This is actually the most difficult way to quit smoking, as you need to keep count of smoked cigarettes and it fixes the attention on the harmful habit. It complicates the reaction of the body to quit smoking. You need to quit smoking suddenly. In this case it is good to change the atmosphere, to create a regime that would completely divert attention from the process of withdrawal. In this case, an unpleasant reaction is taking in a lighter form. It is known the substances, which in combination with saliva provoke an aversion to tobacco. At the same time it is recommended to tale vitamins B and C. Injections of lobeline also suppress the desire to smoke. But observations show that in most cases after stopping injections the smoker returns to the habit.
