What does mean Rethinking Drinking

Rethinking Drinking is designed for U.S. adults who drink alcohol. It provides evidence-based information about alcohol and health along with tips, tools, and resources for those who want to cut down on or quit drinking.  Many of us do, often when socializing with friends and family.

Alcohol use disorder is a pattern of alcohol use that involves problems controlling your drinking, being preoccupied with alcohol or continuing to use alcohol even when it causes problems. 

Unhealthy alcohol use includes any alcohol use that puts your health or safety at risk or causes other alcohol-related problems. It also includes binge drinking — a pattern of drinking where a male has five or more drinks within two hours or a female has at least four drinks within two hours. Binge drinking causes significant health and safety risks.

This disorder also involves having to drink more to get the same effect or having withdrawal symptoms when you rapidly decrease or stop drinking. Alcohol use disorder includes a level of drinking that’s sometimes called alcoholism.

What is considered 1 drink?

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines one standard drink as any one of these:

• 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of regular beer (about 5% alcohol)
• 8 to 9 ounces (237 to 266 milliliters) of malt liquor (about 7% alcohol)
• 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine (about 12% alcohol)
• 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of hard liquor or distilled spirits (about 40% alcohol)

Drink Rarely

Drinks like aerated and sports beverages can have negative effects on your health when consumed in excess. They can increase your risk of diabetes. Alcoholic drinks, on the other hand, can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, or liver disease.

 Drink Occasionally

Caffeinated drinks, diet soda, or packaged fruit juice may seem harmless, but they have been linked with increased risk of obesity and conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Drink Plenty

Embrace the power of hydration with water. Low-fat milk and 100% fruit & vegetable juice will provide you with essential nutrients like calcium, potassium, or vitamin D. These drinks should be enjoyed within the recommended calorie limits to reap maximum benefits.

Protein is an important part of a healthy diet. Proteins are made up of chemical ‘building blocks’ called amino acids. Your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes. They can also be used as an energy source

What is protein deficient?

Protein is the building block of your muscles, skin, enzymes and hormones, and it plays an essential role in all body tissues.

Most foods contain some protein. As a result, true protein deficiency is rare in developed countries. However, some people may still be at risk.

Deficiency leads to various health problems, while low protein intake may also be a concern, as it can cause subtle changes in your body over time.

Signs and symptoms of protein deficiency

1. Skin, hair and nail problems. 
2. Loss of muscle mass.
3. Increased risk of bone fractures.
4. Bigger appetite and increased calorie intake..
5. Risk of infections.
6. Fatty liver.
7. May inhibit proper body growth in children

How much protein per day?

How much protein do you need? Anywhere from 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein. So if your needs are 2,000 calories, that’s 200–700 calories from protein, or 50–175 grams. The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight

How to get more protein

A healthy and balanced diet typically provides all the amino acids your body needs, but that means eating protein with each meal and snack. Complete proteins — which contain all nine essential amino acids in equal amounts — provide the most bang for your buck.

Most complete proteins come from animal sources(Eggs, Meat, Fish, Dairy), but some plant-based proteins are also complete, such as:

• Buckwheat
• Hempseed
• Quinoa
• Soy
