Every year, World Rum Day is celebrated all over the world on the second Saturday of July. In this context, let us tell you today why people consider rum as a medicine. Along with this, we will tell you what effect alcohol has on our body when it enters our body.
Actually, it is often said about rum that if it is taken with hot water, it works like a medicine against many diseases. Let us know why it is said so and how much truth is there in this.
Is rum really beneficial?
If you drink any alcohol more than required, then it can never be beneficial for the body. On the other hand, if we talk about rum, then its effect is hot and it also has microbial quality which kills the disease-causing bacteria present in the body. Apart from this, it is also claimed about rum that if it is taken in limited quantity, it prevents your blood from thickening.
It also reduces the risk of heart disease. If there is pain in the muscles, then rum also provides relief from it. However, this happens because the amount of alcohol present in rum slows down the nervous system as soon as it enters the body. Due to this, the pain signals reach the brain slowly and the person feels that his pain has disappeared after drinking rum.
What do experts say
According to a report published on BBC, regular consumption of alcohol is not good for the body in any way. If you are drinking alcohol regularly for a long time, then your chances of getting many types of cancer increase.

In more than half of these 13000 cases, men are the victims of cancer. Whereas there are about 4000 cases in which women become victims of cancer due to alcohol.
