Asian Glow, also known as alcohol flush reaction, is a common condition experienced by some individuals of Asian descent when they consume alcohol. This reaction is characterized by facial flushing, increased heart rate, and other symptoms due to the body's inability to effectively metabolize alcohol. The condition is linked to a genetic variation affecting the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which plays a crucial role in breaking down acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism. As a result, individuals with this variation may experience discomfort and an increased risk of certain health issues, including esophageal cancer.
