Do you want to compensate for the nutrient loss caused by excessive alcohol consumption?
The alcohol detoxification process must be accompanied by good nutrition. Among many other negative consequences and health disorders, excessive drinking causes a loss of essential nutrients for the body and prevents the organism from absorbing the vitamins, proteins, and minerals necessary for proper functioning.
These are the foods that specialists recommend including when you are quitting drinking:
1. Vitamin A, B, and C
To restore healthy levels of vitamin A, consume carrots, watercress, and asparagus, for example. Vitamin B can be found in spinach and nuts. Vitamin C, meanwhile, contributes to alcohol metabolism and is present in kiwi and citrus fruits in general.
2. Antioxidants
Foods rich in vitamins C, A, and B, such as vegetables and natural fruit juices, protect the liver and, according to the University of Valencia, halt the damage caused by alcohol to neurons.
3. Carbohydrates
One of the consequences of alcohol on the organism is the liver’s inability to metabolize fats. Therefore, it is advisable to replace fatty foods with others rich in carbohydrates, such as chickpeas and lentils.
Alcohol detoxification must be carried out properly. At CCAdicciones, we know that helping an alcoholic involves convincing them of the importance of seeking professional help. Quitting drinking abruptly and without adequate support can lead to the alcoholic suffering from withdrawal syndrome that causes tremors, sweating, tachycardia, and anxiety. It is therefore necessary to undergo treatment with medical supervision that allows them to stop drinking.
