Vitaly Kholdin told which drinks wash vitamins out of the body.
The chief freelance specialist of the Moscow Region Ministry of Health, a psychiatrist and narcologist, noted that alcoholic beverages significantly reduce the level of useful substances.
According to him, a person gets caught in a vicious circle, writes NEWS.ru.
Alcohol washes out vitamins, and their deficiency can increase the need for large doses of alcohol.
Excessive alcohol consumption causes a lack of nutrients, which makes a person crave alcohol.
Holdin emphasized that alcoholic drinks destroy vitamin reserves and can cause vitamin deficiency.
Vitamins of group B, which participate in the functioning of the endocrine system and affect the condition of the skin, nails and blood vessels, are washed out especially quickly.
In addition, a deficiency of B vitamins can lead to dementia.
The narcologist also warned that alcohol quickly depletes magnesium reserves.
Holdin recommends monitoring your alcohol consumption or giving it up completely for the sake of a healthy lifestyle.
