Abstract:

Alcoholism is a chronic addiction. International disease classification ICD-10, alcoholism is listed among the types of “behavioural and mental disorders due to the use of mentally effected substance”. Drinking too much alcohol is the cause of physical illnesses and other severe long term psychiatric problems. As the addictive potential of alcohol is very high, the single possibility of treatment to give up alcoholism is by consuming foods or taking medicines. The nutrition and diet component are rarely addressed and most people are unaware of their extreme significance or that an alternative alcoholism treatment even exists. Highlighting this objective, the simple dietary modification which includes eating fiber-rich complex carbohydrates, dopamine-enhancing foods and L-glutamine-containing foods which help to keep cravings under control have been addressed.  Also the reviews are centred of eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables helps to replace essential vitamins that the body loses through malabsorption when drinking alcohol and thus helping to prevent vitamin deficiencies. In this article an alternate diet approach with unwanted side effects are highlighted.
