Alcohol is taking years off your life and educogym Moorgate explain why

LONDON - April 13, 2018 - PRLog -- A study of 600,000 drinkers estimated that having 10 to 15 alcoholic drinks every week could shorten a person's life by between one and two years. They warned that people who drink more than 18 drinks a week could lose four to five years of their lives. Godfrey Nurse, educogym Moorgate personal trainer explained "The 2016 UK guidelines recommend no more than 14 units a week, which is six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine, even this is still a lot of alcohol, and means your life could be shortened by 2 years even when sticking to guidelines, and up to 6 years if you drink more than 18 units a week".

Risks increase dramatically with every 12,5 units of alcohol people drink, which is still within the UK guidelines, in particular in cardiovascular illnesses such as stroke, heart failure and fatal aortic aneurism. "I think what is most shocking, is that even if people do stay within the UK guidelines the risks and damages are still there, we all know alcohol is not good for our health or waist line, but to have a guideline in place that still means people are losing years off their life when following healthy guidelines is quite wrong" said Sanj Bains, educogym Moorgate personal trainer.

"At educogym Moorgate, we don't advise our clients to drink alcohol. Not only is it bad for our bodies, but it also causes people to go a bit off track with their nutrition, ending a night of a few drinks with a pizza is a no no to those trying to get into shape, however its not just the clients at educogym that this should be concerning to, with an obesity epidemic on our hands everyone should be focusing on their waistline, their health and their body fat percentage, alcohol and in particular cocktails are loaded with sugar and calories, a large glass of wine can have hundreds of calories, so drinking 7 glasses a week is more than 1000 calories extra that you don't need, that's 52,000 calories a year, which is a stone of fat you can gain, if alcohol was reduced many people would find they would also lose weight" stated Godfrey Nurse, educogym Moorgate personal trainer.

There have always been new stats coming out stating certain alcoholic beverages are good for you, one stating that red wine is good for your heart " I strongly believe that a little too much emphasis is being put on a small stat so that alcohol drinkers can justify themselves, a small amount of red wine, or one part of the wine may be good for your heart, but drinkers are using that as an excuse to have a few bottles a week and sadly the risks from drinking that much out weigh the small chance of one health benefit" urged Sanj bains, educogym Moorgate personal trainer.

The government are really cracking down on drinking and smoking in the UK, especially the younger generation, so things are happening to help change the way the population view alcohol, however it is a long road and until people really understand just how damaging alcohol is, they will not stop.
