Telegram Co-founder on 20 Years Alcohol-Free: Brain Cells Become 'Zombies'

Imagine your brain is like a super-powerful computer.

Pavel Durov, who started Telegram, said that drinking alcohol makes parts of your computer, like brain cells, act like sleepy zombies.

It can even break some parts so they never work right again.

He believes it's better not to break your computer when you're trying to do important things in life.

Doctors agree that when you stop drinking alcohol for a long time, like over 20 years, your body can heal itself a lot.

Your liver gets better, you can sleep more soundly, and you can think more clearly.

It helps your body and mind work together happily.

It's especially good for people who already have health problems.

To stay healthy, it's good to eat well, exercise, drink water, and get enough sleep, and find fun things to do instead of drinking.
