How are Nutrition and Alcohol linked and why is it important?
- Sex differences in drinking habits have narrowed as women's drinking patterns have become more similar to men's. However, women appear more sensitive to the negative health effects of alcohol.
- Drinking alcohol at high levels has profound impacts on nutritional status and health - but do the links with diet and food choices work both ways?
- Does better nutrition reduce desire or cravings for alcohol?
- And could dietary and nutritional support help achieve recovery from excessive alcohol use?
- Find out how dietary interventions could help women (and men) who want to reduce their drinking – or achieve an alcohol-free lifestyle.
You will learn:
- Why do women drink?
- How much alcohol is safe for women?
- Why do some find it hard to cut down or stop drinking?
- How does alcohol affect food choices, appetite, and diet quality?
- What nutrients are most often depleted by regular drinking?
- What are the nutrition and health consequences of drinking at high levels?
- How can nutrition be used to support an alcohol-free lifestyle?
