Excessive alcohol consumption life-threatening – expert

Image
Jun 12, 2017 2:AM Prof. Ganiyu Arinola of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, says certain lifestyles including excessive consumption of alcohol may damage the human immune system with high risk of susceptibility to infections and life-threatening conditions such as liver cancer or liver diseases. “Excessive alcohol may damage the immune system because alcohol reduces white blood cells (cells of defence system) and destroys essential nutrients like vitamins needed by the white blood cells to function well. “Excessive alcohol intake can harm the body’s immune system in two ways — it produces an overall nutritional deficiency depriving the body of valuable immune-boasting nutrients. “Also, it can reduce the ability of white blood cells to multiply, inhibit the action of killer white cells on cancer cells,” Arinola, the Chemical Pathology lecturer, told NAN in Ibadan on Sunday. According to him, the amount of alcohol that is enough to c...

Rohr Gives Reasons Why Super Eagles Lost To South Africa, Blames Players

Image
Jun 11, 2017 9:00 AM Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has blamed his players for the shock 2-0 loss to South Africa in an African Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday evening. The average age of the Super Eagles players named in the starting eleven was 23 and the German believes the South Africans were more experienced than his team, who became nervous after they conceded the first goal. ''We failed to convert our opportunities and when they scored, my young team became nervous and started to make mistakes,'' Rohr said in his post match comments. ''It is a sad result, but we win together and we lose together, and when a team gets this kind of result, it looks within and rectifies whatever shortcomings in order to achieve better results subsequently. ''This can only make us stronger.'' Nigeria's next competitive fixture is a World Cup qualifier against African champions Cameroon in August. Igho Kingsley Report a problem.
