Enzyme deficiency: You may be genetically deficient in an enzyme that breaks down acetaldehyde, a metabolic product of alcohol. Abstain from alcohol. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine.
