By now, you know the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver. In this video, I want to talk about the toxic effects of alcohol on your heart. It turns out that your heart cells hate alcohol.

Alcoholic heart muscle disease is a condition characterized by a dysfunction heart due to chronic alcohol consumption.

Alcohol will create several problems with heart tissue.

1. Acetaldehyde accumulation - This is a toxic compound that damages your heart and liver. It’s also responsible for the hangover feeling you get after excessive drinking.

2. Decreased protein synthesis - The heart is made out of muscle, and it needs protein to rejuvenate.

3. Dilated chambers - You have four chambers in the heart. Alcohol can cause them to become irregular and cause arrhythmia and murmurs and other heart issues.

4. Increased inflammation - Inflammation in the heart leads to calcium and cholesterol buildup, and fibrosis of the heart tissue. Over time, this leads to heart disease.

5. Deceased ejection fraction and contractibility - The heart’s ability to contract and pump blood throughout the body becomes impaired.

6. Reduced anti-apoptosis pathway - This causes an increase in cells that die in the heart.

7. Increased calcium in cells - Too much calcium inside the cell, causing numerous cellular issues in your heart cells.

I know some of you are curious about how much alcohol is too much. Can you have a glass of red wine every day? Isn’t red wine good for the heart? While there are some compounds in wine that promote heart health, exposure to ethanol is a problem.

If you could stick to just half a glass of wine, you’ll see some benefits. However, very few people can stop at that much.

If you want to support your recovery after drinking wine occasionally, you can do keto. The heart loves ketones and prefers fat fuel over glucose.

The heart also loves omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Make sure you use natural vitamin E instead of synthetic.
