How Alcohol Affects Beauty: Jessica Simpson's Sobriety Photo 

Congrats to you that was hard work!🤘

So proud of you, good job and cheers to good health!!

I’m glad your well but how do you know it was drinking that lead to breast cancer. I have many friends who have dealt with breast cancer and were not drinkers.

How do you know it was the drinking? Most breast cancer cases are because of DNA/ genetics and then a lot of factors like hormone treatments, chemical exposure (foods, makeup, pollution, etc.) lack of light, and then life style - obesity, alcohol, smoking etc.. It's great you quit smoking and drinking, but I'm curious how you know/your doctors know, and it's not a combination? I've never heard of anyone getting breast cancer from drinking, there's studies that shows that nuns gets breast, ovarian and uterine cancer more often than women who have babies.. Quite interesting 🤔

Great job!

Omg I taught I was going mad about the eyes mine are green and I’m not jokeing yu they weren’t no more they were sunk and yell iwe. Looking omg. That’s the fist thing I saw my eyes come back two normal ah I’m glad yu stoped it’s no good for us god bless yu❤

Wrinkles along the lips.

When women hit their 40s you can always see if they are smoker's. Deep wrinkles, sallow dull skin.

Same!!

also would like more information on marijuana smoke as well 👀

Smoking doesn't damage the skin if you practice safe smoking using a carbon filter in the cigarette.

I’m so sorry you lost him, sounds like a wonderful man 🥰

I’m sorry about your father

That's what my mother used to say, among lots of other gems. Wish I had both parent to 94!! Miss them forever. They hardly drank, for occasions mostly.

Okay alcoholism is not about moderation, it's a disease? Sorry for your loss but I don't think your father's words apply here

@@1917yee I think a person is unlikely to become an alcoholic if they have the ethical philosophy that the brakes are on, right from the start. You will avoid getting hooked. Just like heroin, you don’t think you can make a habit of doing it once or twice a week. Substances are seductive. First, they are a habit, then comes the damage to body and mind. You don’t find this “disease” in countries and the state of Utah, where people understand avoidance of addictive substances. We are all prone to addiction if we don’t understand moderation to begin with. Moderation for alcohol and narcotics is basically to avoid them. Do we call being hooked on sugar a “disease?” We do, if they develop diabetes, then yes, it becomes a disease. Having said all that, I get your point. After a certain point, when the damage is so extensive, it will not be possible for the alcoholic to get sober, as he suffers from cirrhosis and Wernicke’s encephalopathy among other true diseases.

Yes. And some parents should give up their kids. Sounds extreme, but the damage of abuse lasts for the whole lifetime.

So well said. In so many cases it is not just bad influence of others, but pain or insecurity or lack of coping mechanisms, more precisely, lack of education on what they are and how to use them.

It's not always childhood trauma. They have also found some people have receptors in their brain that make them more susceptible to addiction. Last I saw they could see a genetic component to it also.

True, a thousand times true, same can be said for every country around the world!

I agree but people also need to be taught coping mechanisms

Lol!

Well we know sugar causes premature ageing

For real! 🤣🤣

lmaooo!

It goes straight to the hips... thats why you should get 2 cinnabons one for each hip. Once on the lips forever on the hips

Agree, and with a twinkle in his eye.😍

Thank you, the same to you too 🤗

Yes it does :( I had some nice facial features myself, that I started messing up with booze :( I've been 2 months sober....Wish me luck!

@@Sarasapien well done you! That is fantastic, sending you lots of love and prayers for the future, you can do this. 💖🎆

@@AGNETHAFALTSK0G thank you RK :)

how?

Me too... Never liked the stuff.

In a way, you're blessed. I was the reverse, having a great affinity for it and I paid for it in the end.

Congrats!!!

Congratulations! I think that when you really can see with your OWN eyes that you actually look way better than before, it becomes a powerful motivation to stay sober. 💕

Good for you. You look great.

Not just face,all over JS looks unrecognizable

if you look it up online its said she owed a 40,000$ bill to a tanning salon that she never paid

@@MrParodyMovies How do you spend that much money on tanning? Did she rent it for a year or something? 🤣😂

@@funinthekitchen844 no idea!! Look it up online the place filled a suit against her hahaha

@@MrParodyMovies Okay, that was 10 years ago, never heard of it until now btw... Lindsay lives in Dubai, is sober and has a career, so I don't understand the point of using her as an example, she doesn't look like that now, it was obvious that the person in the video don't like her, and was using old pics of her, that's not how she looks today .. SMH

Yes a lot of ppl I know dont know how to live without alcohol or dont know how to have fun without it. I never touched alcohol in my life and have no desire to. Ppl will think thats weird but they also think im 21 when im really 29

Much as I love a glass of wine- I only have it when I go out with friends on weekends. I never drink anything alone. This pretty much curtails my drinking.

Same, I'm almost 47 with no wrinkles, clear smooth skin. I don't even need to wear foundation, and to this day everyone asks me what I do for my skin, they say it looks like porcelain.

He does cover eating and drinking alcohol…and stress (depression, PTSD, inflammation) is an umbrella category that covers both mental and physical.

What ptsd she has

Alcohol does have a lot to do with it too.. Kills your good bacteria and does so much damage to your stomach and intestinal tract that it can take months to judt be able to absorb nutrients. I got down to 100 lbs, drinking 375-750 ml vodka for 3-5 years ever day. Dark bags, and severe gastritis meant I couldn't eat anything or absorb calcium. Ugh so glad I'm done with that crap. Btw I was exercising more, sleeping more, and eating amazingly. Didn't even make a difference when I was drinking. Also, sleep is basically useless when you're drinking. You use all your sleep to process the alcohol and you don't seem to repair basic things people do when they sleep. So alcohol affects all the things that you mention to the point where, if you're a chronic alcoholic, they aren't really factors.

Alcohol is the second most toxic drug to the human body. It negatively affects every organ system in the body. Second only to cigarettes.

What caused her ptsd

Wow that is awesome that you came up with that! We can all engage in unhealthy activities, and sometimes it's beneficial (like eating something junky once in a while when you're trying to watch your diet), and it's great to see people use certain disciplinary measures to try to contain it.

I do/did the same thing, but then one day I took a bottle of pedialyte with me to the bar and did drinks of that in between with booze. No hangover the next day 😎

I hate when people insist weed is not a problem and is not addictive. Of course it is! Just because it's not heroin it doesn't mean it is innocuous. I nearly quit everything that mattered to me because of weed, and a guy I used to smoke with, was a babbling idiot even when he was not high.

As a weed smoker for 20+ years, I can weigh-in on how some of my usage has impacted my life negatively. (1) Sleep. Surprising as weed has helped me get to sleep over the years, but the sleep tends to be more shallow and I either don't dream or recall my dreams. And as my weed use continues, my sleep starts to degrade. When I stop my chronic use of weed, it takes time for me to naturally sleep again. That is when I notice a burst of clarity in my dreams as my body transitions back to its natural state. (2) Studies say marijuana creates more estrogen in your body. I'm not sure, but I do have gyno. However I've had a lot of weight issues, poor eating habits, and low activity throughout my life which I have remedied in recent years. Lost 65 pounds so far! (3) My emotions. I am normally a hyper person and my mind tends to want to process everything at once. Weed has helped me tremendously in times of high emotional stress, and has calmed me down. But the downside, is it also makes me a bit empty and disconnected in mind. Also, it is harder to process and deal with emotions on weed, because of the euphoria, and therefore things I should be facing and processing gets pushed down or to the back of my mind. This has caused spikes in depression and anxiety. I have since increased my physical activity (walk, swim, weights) and this allows me to be more confrontational with my own inner self. (4) My GI system is definitely affected by weed over time. My theory is the buzz of weed will relax and vibrate the body differently. I think the junk food from the munchies is the 50/50 cause of this, but I do believe constant weed usage can cause digestion issues, mainly within the intestine. My conclusion is weed usage can remain healthy if you have an equal dose of discipline to balance it out. I can now smoke weed and still eat healthy and remain in my calorie deficit, but I usually have to retrain myself a bit when I start to smoke again. On days where I lift weights and swim, I don't smoke weed until I'm done.

@@user-is7xs1mr9y Weed is tricky because its so habitual. I have never gone through much in the way of a physical addiction in the 20+ years I've smoked. However, it definitely is there psychologically for me. I think both the positive and negative of weed is how easy it can be to integrate it in our functional life. Because then, at least for me, I start to think that I wouldn't want to live a life without weed. Or watch a movie. Listen to music. Play a game. And so on.

Smoking anything deprives the skin of oxygen and depletes the body of vitamin C, which is necessary for collagen production. That’s why smoking causes wrinkles and skin that looks pasty and dull.

I agree I just don't get it.

@Pippi Bernstein I never told anyone to eat a raw vegan diet.

You want a cookie? 🙂 Here 🍪

Are you trying to say you are perfectly beautiful? Given the context of the video. I guess, Congratulations?

@@melcel9003 I never said I was beautiful. I never even mentioned my looks. I was just saying that I take care of myself and don't understand how anyone could treat their body like a garbage can considering it shortens your life.

Agreed, now all these celebrities coming out with Tequila and brand wines just keep pushing alcohol under people’s throats. I hate that most social gatherings and interactions involve alcohol from birthday and family parties to brunches. Honestly I prefer to indulge on Ice cream or a favorite dessert or non alcoholic drink that just drink alcohol. It causes so much damage to the body and to people’s lives.

Amen! I stopped drinking alcohol almost 20 years ago. I only drank alcohol occasionally, but I didn't like the way that it made me feel. One of my uncles was an alcoholic and I never wanted to be like him.

Amen!

☠️☠️

You needed a video to instruct you that a poor relationship with alcohol makes you unattractive?

Smart response

It is natural for the body to want to heal itself.

How does cannabis effect your skin? Not just smoking but also edibles? In lou of alcohol not with? Thank you Doc!

How old are you? I ask because I’m 26 and wish I would have never drank to begin with. And this is coming from someone who only drank every few weeks or less. I wish I would have started caring for my skin and body as well as I have for the past few years.

@@SharonBurc i just turned 50!

And it's *never* too late to start caring for your skin. I never was a tanner, and have been using retinaldehyde products for 20 years, but I guess generics are part of the game. It certainly isn't healthy living.

Same for me. Alcoholic father and his family, so much chaos and trauma in my childhood. I don’t drink at all and always been a non-smoker. I’m 52 with lovely skin I’m sure is due to not drinking and smoking, using sunscreen and a sun hat when I go out.

I agree

So am I.

That too. It’s important to note that most drugs of abuse are chemicals which cause . (In the old days, dentists had patients drink Whiskey before tooth extractions for that reason.)

@@echase416 yes, she often consumed the skin rubbing alcohol which is dangerous.

@@echase416 Riiight... And opium and heroin in the good old days, that's why people loved going to the hospital or the doctor... SMH 🤦‍♀️🙄
