Does Alcohol increase body weight? Yes it does if it is consumed in large quantities. A peg daily will not do any harm but more than a peg can only bring in many heart and liver problems and also increase the calorie level in the body, which may lead to obesity.
The metabolism of Alcohol takes place differently than the foods and beverages. The calories present in the fats, carbohydrates and proteins are slowly digested in the stomach. When alcohol is taken, it is absorbed quickly into the stomach walls. Well, the alcohol reaches the liver first and all the liver’s attention is focused on processing it. As a result, the carbohydrates and dietary fats are converted into body fat, which is later carried away for being stored in the body. Well, this means that alcohol slows down processing fats, which makes the fats to get stored.
A diuretic, Alcohol causes water loss from the body and dehydration. When the body loses water, it also loses important minerals like magnesium, potassium, zinc and calcium.
Drinking is known to reduce sleep, which can lad to obesity. Alcohol is known to lower inhibitions, which is detrimental to the diet plans. Alcohol stimulates the appetite, which means you take more food than you need. It is quite normal to take all kinds of meats and also greasy foods while taking alcohol, as you feel greedier for food.
