As Seen in The Telegraph
News Website Of The Year
Dr John Quinn provided expert advice for The Telegraph’s feature on how drinking alcohol can affect the condition of the skin.
Research shows that Brits are consuming more alcohol now than before the pandemic with lockdown stress being sited as the main reason, followed by boredom.
The Telegraph asked Dr John Quinn – founder and Medical Director of Quinn Clinics – to share his expertise on why drinking alcohol can affect the skin.
John explained:
“Stress, poor diet and excessive alcohol all contribute towards poor lymphatic health, but the biggest culprit by far is being too sedentary.
“The lymphatic system forms part of our immune system and plays an important role in protecting our bodies.
“It is vital for maintaining fluid balance, removing toxins, waste products and abnormal cells, and absorbing fats and proteins from the intestines.”
It is the slowdown in the lymphatic system which causes skin issues such as breakouts, premature ageing and a lack of radiance.
As well as the skin, there are potential health issues too – headaches, digestive issues, fatigue and lowered immunity; to name but a few.
Simple tips to improve your lymphatic system include cutting back on alcohol, keeping well hydrated by drinking plenty of water, eating well including healthy proteins, salad/veg/fruit; and getting active with regular exercise.
