American researchers have discovered in a new study that an enzyme contained in uic is very helpful in treating digestive and cardiac problems. Moreover, consuming uic is recommended, in moderation, before meals to aid digestion.
Experts say that this alcoholic beverage, when consumed in small doses, has amazing health effects. Consuming uic can protect the heart and treat certain stomach and bile issues.
In Romanian tradition, uica is compared to a medicine, and moderate consumption, no more than 30 ml per day, is recommended for alleviating heart or digestive problems. It is known that plum uica is a spirit product of a maximum of 40-45 degrees and is made from ripe plums.
Additionally, according to researchers, certain enzymes contained in this beverage help reduce cholesterol deposits in the arteries and play a role in preventing atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
Affects Blood Glucose Levels
Experts warn that consuming uic can affect blood glucose levels. Thus, patients with low blood glucose levels should avoid alcoholic beverages, especially uica.
Those suffering from diabetes must follow certain rules when they wish to consume alcohol: women should not consume more than one alcoholic beverage per day, while men should limit themselves to two. It is important not to drink alcohol on an empty stomach or when blood sugar levels are low. Additionally, it is not recommended to drink alcohol during meals.
The consumption of uic is not recommended for those suffering from ulcers, hepatitis, sedentary individuals, anemic people, those working in cold conditions, and pregnant women. Uica should be consumed in small quantities (20-150 ml).
Plinca Boiled Regenerates the Liver
Plinca is also beneficial in the case of many ailments, provided it is consumed with caution. Boiled plinca helps prevent atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction and is recommended in cases of anemia, in quantities of no more than 30 ml/day. Besides helping to treat colds, this beverage supports the liver and bile, as it contains a series of vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B, and vitamin D) that do not degrade through heating and have a regenerative action on the liver.
Moreover, plinca increases the production speed of hemoglobin and red blood cells and is rich in iron.
WHO: There is No Safe Amount That Does Not Affect Health
On the other hand, recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that when it comes to alcohol consumption, there is no safe amount that does not affect health. We cannot talk about a so-called safe level of alcohol consumption.
It does not matter how much you drink; the health risk starts from the first sip of any alcoholic beverage. The only thing we can say for sure is that the more you drink, the more harmful it is, or in other words, the less you drink, the safer it is, said Carina Ferreira-Borges, interim leader of the unit for the management of non-communicable diseases and regional advisor for alcohol and illicit drugs at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, in a statement.
According to specialists, it is advisable to choose the weakest uica and to drink no more than 50-60 milliliters. This beverage should not be consumed after dinner or before breakfast.
