A recent study suggests that there may be no safe amount of processed meat, such as hot dogs and burgers, as even small consumption levels are linked to increased risks of Type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and heart disease. The research indicates that current NHS guidelines to limit processed meat intake to 70g may still be too high, emphasizing the need for further research and caution in consumption.
The NHS has identified six signs that may indicate borderline alcoholism, including drinking alcohol daily without thinking about it, regular binge-drinking, socializing only where alcohol is involved, drinking regularly during the day, finding it annoying when others are not drinking, and exceeding the NHS guidelines for alcohol consumption. While it is not necessary to quit alcohol entirely, it is important to drink in moderation. Borderline alcoholism can lead to physical and psychological symptoms, such as abdominal pain, stress, anxiety, bad skin, trouble sleeping, irritability, and higher blood pressure. Long-term impacts may include abnormal liver function, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health problems. Support services are available for those concerned about their alcohol consumption.
