How to Reverse the Effects of Alcohol Before 40

Heavy long term drinking can damage the liver and the brain and create other health issues. The damage done to the body is usually in direct proportion to the number of years a person spent drinking and the amount of alcohol he consumed during those years. If you are pushing 40 and have decided now is the right time for a change of lifestyle, the good news is that some of the negative effects of alcohol can still be reversed. However, this is not the easiest task, but the benefits are worth the effort.

Instructions

• 1

  Stop drinking alcohol. This is the first thing you must do. According to a study conducted by Stanford University professors in 2006, alcoholics who completely gave up drinking were able to regain their cognitive skills and mental abilities. The first results were detected after 13 months of complete sobriety and got better with time. Abstention from alcohol will also be good for the liver.

• 2

  Feed your body properly. Make fruits and vegetables part of your everyday diet, eat white meat instead of red and substitute white flour carbohydrates for their whole grain alternatives. Have three main meals a day with minor snacks in between so your blood sugar level will remain steady. Stay away from saturated fats, sugar and added salt.

• 3

  Take stem enhancers. Stem enhancers are remedies that help your body to grow new healthy cells where the alcohol caused damage. You can rebuild as much as 25 percent of your liver cells with the help of stem enhancers, which will substantially improve the state of your liver.

  Exercise regularly. Make working a part of your new healthy lifestyle to help your body grow stronger and to also get rid of toxins that built up during the years that you didn't treat it right.
