Despite the time of year, there are occasions when the fun is accompanied by a sour stomach, a throbbing head, loss of appetite, dehydration, fatigue, vomiting and the impulse of becoming a daytime TV-watching, aspirin-popping recluse for a good 24 hours .
Yes, I’m talking about the experience known as the hangover. You partied from sundown to sunup, and now it’s the time to pay the price.
Although we do not like to view it this way, particularly when we are having a good time, alcohol is in fact a drug.
It is a depressant, and its excessive consumption fills your body with toxins. The body reacts the same way it would react to any drug overdose.
It does the best it can to metabolize and get rid of the undesirable substances.
There are a variety natural hangover cures that can be of help. If you deem yourself a hangover veteran, you definitely know about some of them.
1. Hydrate to Clear Out Toxins
To aid the detoxification process, it is a good idea to drink a lot of water before, during and after consuming your favorite spirit.
Try to take two big cups before going to bed. In the morning as dreadful as it may seem, attempt to hydrate again.
Water is significant, but tomato juice with sugar, lime and cayenne pepper should be added to the hydration options. This is because the concoction helps replenish electrolytes, which helps to get blood sugar back on track.
There is isn’t any tomato juice in the house? You should try a glass of water with a pinch of sugar salt.
2. Bananas
Bananas should be your best friend.
The time you were drunk and you did pee like a racehorse, a lot of potassium was lost from your body.
Eating a banana with lots of potassium will help rejuvenate.
3. Honey
Honey is among the miracle foods with so many applications, and helping with is one of them.
The fructose contained in honey helps the body metabolize the alcohol easily and it also contains potassium.
If you are in a bad state, you may take two to six teaspoons until you feel better.
4. Eat well before and after
Enjoy protein and good fats: avocado, spinach and eggs are tremendous breakfast choices.
5. Grease up before you go
One favorable remedy is taking a spoonful of olive oil before going for a party.
Eating a pizza or any other fatty food has a similar effect.
Both will grease the intestines hence the alcohol takes longer to absorb.
6. Eat ginger
For a long time, people have consumed ginger to reduce vomiting and nausea.
Try nibbling crystallized ginger after a night of drinking.
Research shows that consuming a combination of tangerine pith, brown sugar and ginger before drinking decreases vomiting and nausea.
7. Sweat it out.
Exercise helps stimulate the lymphatic system to excrete toxins and this helps improve blood flow. Enjoy a rapid, hard work out the morning after.
Exercise also releases endorphins; the feel good hormones.
Yoga also stands out as an amazing option for dealing with hangovers.
8. Juice
Especially freshly squeezed orange juice helps raise the blood sugar levels and this eases some of the hangover symptoms.
However, if you have a stomach upset skip acidic juices and stick with apple juice instead.
