Prostate cancer is a vicious disease found primarily in
older males, which negatively affects the prostate gland – located in the male
reproductive system. A variety of factors have been shown to contribute to
development risks, including exposure to particular chemicals and family
genetics. New research shows that heavy drinking may also play a part
Evidence
According to the World Health Organization, an individual
who consumes alcoholic beverages will increase the risk of cancer development
in later life. Research shows that the risk remains even in individuals who do
not consume enough alcohol to get drunk. Individuals who consume a moderate
amount of alcohol on a consistent basis still appear to incur similar risks.
Connection
Scientists have come up with a number of theories as to how
alcohol consumption increases cancer risks. Some research suggests that the
body actually converts alcohol into toxic chemicals – the cause of hangovers in
heavy drinkers. This chemical is also theorized to cause irreparable damage to
DNA cells, ultimately resulting in a cancer diagnosis. Alcohol can also
increase estrogen, testosterone and other hormone levels while decreasing the
body’s folate supply, all factors that contribute to cancer risks.
Prostate Cancer
In recent years, researchers have located a specific link
between prostate cancer development and alcohol consumption. A study performed
by scientists from Australia and America appears to indicate that males who
consume a mere two drinks per day increase their risk of prostate cancer
development by a whopping 20%! The study also concluded that the risk factor
would increase alongside additional routine consumption.

OK wow! I had no idea about any of this! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteLike many people, at the start of the year, I made a resolution to decrease my alcohol intake.
DeleteDrink Less in Seven Days by Georgia Foster has really helped me stick to this resolution. Georgia is a clinical hypnotherapist and alongside the written version of the book, there are also 4 "Hypnosis Hub" recordings that readers are encouraged to access to help them with the program.
One of the great things about Drink Less in Seven Days is that Georgia (and I"m going to call her Georgia because she kind of feels like a friend) is totally non-judgemental about how much you drink, why you drink, why you feel you drink too much etc. I feel that this is an area where people carry a lot of shame and negative feelings and to have someone who approaches an emotional issue like this with absolute objectivity is helpful in driving the desired behaviours. She's on your side!
There are two main parts to Drink Less in Seven Days. The first is how your amygdala (the part of your brain that deals with emotions and fear/stress responses) can actually work against your efforts to quit or reduce your drinking. It shows you how to move your decision to drink away from this very instinctive part of your brain to your prefrontal cortex which is the part of your brain that is more concerned with considered decision-making.
I found this part of the book fascinating, particularly the parts where she spoke about silencing your inner critic.
However, it was the second part of the book, where Georgia broke down different personality types. what triggers them to drink and how to circumvent these triggers that I found most useful. (Also fascinating, if like me you love a good theory of behaviour and the ability to proclaim "Yes!!!! That's me!"). Because it makes total sense right? If you drink out of social anxiety (which is me a little bit) your methods to success will likely be different to someone who drinks because everyone around you is (also me a little bit).
The biggest take away for me was starting to understand what triggers my wanting to drink and learning alternative strategies should I decide not to. I think a really important thing about Drink Less in Seven Days is that it is NOT about quitting drinking altogether. It is about cutting down to a level that you are comfortable with, whatever that is for you. And this feels more manageable than quitting altogether.
The cru of this type of book though is does it work?
So here's the real deal. I started this program in January. It's now March and I can count the times I have drunk alcohol on one hand. During this time I have been to pubs, bars and restaurants, entertained at home and been entertained at other people's homes so it's not like I have been hiding myself away. I have been around alcohol and people drinking as much as I ever was.
Will I drink again? Almost definitely. For me, this experiment was never about giving up altogether. And I have far too much fun making cocktails for this to give it up completely! However, I feel that moving forward I will be able to drink in a more mindful considered way.
Thank you to Georgia Foster for a thoroughly fascinating book that does exactly what it says on the cover!

I've a question in generous. A father of a girlfriend is abused to alcohol since 1998 and was allready in several rehabs but didn't become sober. Sadly the therapists said now to her that it is sensless to do a new rehab. She has to watch how her father is destroying himself till he is to the decision: life or death. Of course this is really hard for her, i only wanted to know if you have any ideas how to react or how to handle this...
