Yesterday (October 2) was World No Alcohol Day, and for good reason – too much alcohol affects our health in a lot of negative ways, including sleep interruption, metabolic disruption, and problems in the gut. But is there a safe – or smart – way to consume alcohol, particularly in our forties? DR. TSIN UIN FOONG of @oslerhealth.sg sits down with @thefortiesformula to dish the tea on all things booze – how “bad” it really is, if there’s a role for alcohol in a healthy person’s life, and even whether there’s a way to know the specific ways alcohol affects us individually (spoiler alert: it IS possible!). In this episode, you’ll learn: 🖤 how alcohol metabolises in the body 🤍if and when alcohol consumption becomes a problem 🖤what a healthy relationship with alcohol looks like, and how to achieve it 🤍the impact of alcohol on mental health and menopause From busting myths around alcohol and breastfeeding to weighing the pros and cons about alcohol as part of an overall lifestyle, @dr_foong gives us a lively and honest discussion that just might make you rethink when and how much you drink.
