4. Alcohol
Drinking alcohol is something that a large number of people enjoy regularly to help them relax, unwind and enjoy themselves. The issue with alcohol consumption is that many people don’t know when to say enough is enough and subsequently end up drinking themselves into a paralytic state.
Now, no one is saying that one night of binging on the booze is going to cause peripheral neuropathy but repeating this cycle, again and again, is a sure-fire way to increase the risk factors for a range of different conditions. Most people know that liver problems and kidney problems can occur long term due to alcohol abuse, but the link between alcohol and peripheral neuropathy is a route that is much less well understood.
Basically, there is always room for people to improve their quality of life in many ways, and cutting the amount of alcohol that we drink could be useful in reducing the likelihood of peripheral neuropathy developing.
