Alcohol is the direct cause of certain diseases, such as:

* inflammation of the liver (hepatitis)

* Cirrhosis of the liver

* inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)

* involvement of the peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy: loss of sensations such as touch or sensation of vibration in the feet, ankles, calves)

* alcoholic diseases (abuse and dependence)

Many cardiovascular disorders can be hereditary, including arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy and hypercholesterolemia. Coronary artery disease leading to a heart attack, stroke or heart failure may be present in several family members, indicating the presence of genetic risk factors.

3. The right answer is all of the above

In the long term, alcohol can be responsible for many diseases: cancers (mouth, esophagus, throat ..), diseases of the liver (cirrhosis) and pancreas, diseases of the nervous system and psychic disorders (anxiety, depression, irritability , incitement to suicide etc.), cardiovascular disorders ... Due to higher consumption, men are more affected than women, and one in seven male deaths is attributable to alcohol.

4. The right answer is HDL

HDL cholesterol, also known as HDL-cholesterol, is a high-density lipoprotein that helps transport cholesterol within the body.

Physical exercise is central to the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and plays an important role in the prevention of this disease. Physical exercise is not only good for morale, it is excellent for preventing certain complications of long-term diabetes, and more specifically cardiovascular disease. Physical activity, combined with changes in eating habits, will help maintain or lose weight. The effects of physical activity and subsequent weight loss will combine and make insulin more effective, which will lower blood glucose levels and total cholesterol levels.

For those who quit smoking: The risk of having a heart attack decreases considerably during the first two to three years of abstinence.

Passive smoking can also be the cause of cardiovascular disease. The ban on smoking in the catering sector and in public buildings is therefore a very important measure in protecting the health of non-smokers and smokers alike.

Stress, caused by a "stressor" element, generates negative emotions. This stressor is usually fought with specific, tailored responses using the skills of each. However, when a problem can not be solved, people resort to non-specific defense mechanisms designed to reduce anxiety and negative emotions. This means buying clothes, going on weekends ... or eating. Consumption of food, alcohol and tobacco would be natural responses to non-specific stress, intended to provide comfort.
