Lifestyle Factors in Cancer Survivorship
Published in Pat Price, Karol Sikora, Treatment of Cancer, 2020
As mentioned earlier, the proportion of Firmicutes increases while Bacteroidetes decrease with increasing BMI. It remains unclear whether it is the bad gut profile that causes obesity or vice versa. In excess, alcohol can adversely affect long-term gut health, with spirits and beer being worse than red wine due to the protective effect of resveratrol. Binge drinking causes transient dysbiosis, which may be responsible for many of the symptoms of a hangover. Cigarette smoking has recently been confirmed as an important risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease, and smoking cessation has been linked to increased gut flora diversity. Mice exposed to stresses such as isolation, crowding, and heat develop higher levels of bad bacteria. A human study, monitoring the effect of stress on the composition of gut bacteria in 23 college students before and after studying for their end-of-term final examinations, found that the high stress associated with exams caused a reduction in several bacteria, including Lactobacilli. A diet high in saturated animal fat can increase Firmicutes growth. Likewise, people eating a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet have reduced fermentation in the gut, leading to increased levels of harmful nitrosamines, decreased levels of butyrate, and reduced metabolism of polyphenols into the absorbable and biologically active phenols.31

It is particularly beneficial in dealing with binge drinking especially in regards to the negative symptoms that produce a hangover the next day. It also exerts a positive role in alleviating the negative effects of alcohol withdrawal syndrome. On the other hand, it also protects the liver from the negative effects of alcohol.

The most common symptom of drinking too much is having a hangover. This includes feeling sick, having headaches and becoming dehydrated (this is when your body doesn’t have the fluids it needs to function properly).

Participants recommended various strategies that they sometimes use or they thought would help other students reduce the harms of HED. Many were familiar with, and recommended, common protective behavioral strategies (i.e., actions used to reduce the negative consequences associated with drinking alcohol),26 such as eating before or while drinking and alternating drinking alcohol with water to pace their consumption,27,28 although some thought staying hydrated with water would help them avoid a hangover. A number of participants suggested students set limitations for themselves in advance, such as bringing a set quantity of alcohol they want to drink to a party, bringing a set amount of money (no debit or credit cards) to a drinking event, or planning to come home by a certain time so that they do not continue drinking. “Just bring the amount [of money] that would be like the most you imagine like would make it like before a bad time,” or another student who said, “I always take $40, and that’s like, at most $40…put it in my purse. That’s my cab home, that’s mozza sticks if I want it.”

Three of the adverse consequences explored in our study are particularly associated with alcohol use, specifically hangover, headache, and nausea or vomiting (Penning, McKinney, and Verster 2012; Verster et al. 2018). Among the three classes of polysubstance use identified in our study, the only class in which the percentage of alcohol use was not particularly high was the moderate polysubstance use/hallucinogens class. In this regard, our results are consistent with those found in the previous literature, showing that in comparison with participants in the low polysubstance use class, those in the moderate polysubstance use/hallucinogens class were less likely to report having experienced hangover and headache. Moreover, when compared with participants in the extensive polysubstance use/stimulants class, participants in the moderate polysubstance use/hallucinogens class were also less likely to report having experienced a hangover.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the average alcohol consumption per capita in adults is 5.1 L per year based on the report by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (Roa 2004). Alcohol dependency affects millions of individuals around the world and is associated with several types of diseases. Based on the International Classification of Disease 10th edition; ICD-10 (WHO 2018), cause of death for liver cirrhosis is associated with alcohol consumption. Although moderate alcohol intake may have some health benefits, especially in relation to cardiovascular disease, elevated intake causes hepatic damage. Alcoholic steatosis (reversible) and alcoholic steatohepatitis are stages leading to liver disease where hepatic stellate cells are activated, depositing collagen in the liver. Binge drinking, defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as a pattern of drinking that brings the blood alcohol level to 0.08 g % or higher, occurs when five (for men) or four (for women) or more alcoholic beverages are consumed over a period of 2 h (Roa 2004). Health concerns associated with binge drinking include injuries, alcohol poisoning, neurological damage and liver disease. Hangovers are the body’s reaction to poisoning and withdrawal from alcohol.
