St. Paddy's Bad Side

Tweet

Many people enjoy going out for a green beer on St. Patrick's Day but few realize the toll that alcohol takes on the body. Here's how: * It dehydrates you. Alcohol is a diuretic which means it flushes out electrolytes. * Ruins gut health. It kills gut bacteria which leads to poor digestion and bloating. * Weakens the immune system. Alcohol lowers immune function which makes you more vulnerable to illness. * Overloads the liver. It puts a strain on the liver leaving you drained. Hydration is key.
