How to prevent and overcome the hangover improvised means

Do not be afraid to suggest that virtually every adult person familiar with the state hangover. And the older we get, the harder it is to bear the consequences cheerfully spent partying. It's like the joke about the three ages. The first age: when you drink all night, walking and God knows what they are doing, but in the morning you look as if you slept all night. The second age: you drink all night, walking and God knows what they are doing, and in the morning you have a view... as if you walked all night, drinking and hell-are what he did. But the third - it's when you sleep through the night and in the morning you look as if you drank, walked, and God knows what they did.

This article will primarily be useful members of the second age. Of course, people in the first category can also take advantage of my advice. From this they will be a fresh new look More fresh. Guaranteed. The third category, I just advise you to pay attention to the way of life in general - instantaneous means there is not enough.

So, first: what can be done to a hangover or not come at all, or manifested itself in the most gentle way.

1. Before you start drinking, do not forget to eat.

Yes Yes. That's right, and not vice versa. First, eat anything, and only then proceed to the alcohol. Even if it is just "harmless" champagne. Which, incidentally, and not so harmless. Quite the contrary. Worse aperitif in terms of health and you can imagine. Carbon dioxide speeds up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. Therefore, if your goal - to get drunk as quickly as possible, the idea of ​​champagne on an empty stomach is wonderful! If we suffer the next day you do not want, it is best to choose a wine to champagne.

The same applies to all other carbonated drinks with alcohol.

2. Snack before and after the best fatty foods.

Not fruit, but something more significant. The fact is that fats envelop the stomach from the inside, not allowing alcohol to easily penetrate into the bloodstream. He, of course, sooner or later there will get, but the process will be slower. In addition, fats prevent surges in blood sugar, which helps you not to fall into a deep sleep.

Perfectly suited nuts, pesto, olives. If you are already at the table, then there is a choice and that wider. Heard in the old days from a friend that her husband always drank before the party a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Then I was funny, but now I realize that the point of this was.

3. A rule that simply to remember, but difficult to apply: on each serving alcohol must account for 1 cup of water.

No glass, and 150-200 ml of water. After all, a hangover - not that other, as a consequence of dehydration. Therefore, the head aches. And if you drink a lot of water, then we can get drunk without interference, but the next morning we will live a lot easier.

Of course, from the point of view of digestion to drink plenty of water during meal time is not desirable, or bad food digest. But here we are of two evils choose the lesser. Therefore, not forget water.

A serving of alcohol means the (optional):

• 1 shot of vodka;
• 1 glass of wine or champagne;
• ½ bottle of beer;
• 1 cocktail.

Rules of the series "the degree necessary to raise", "beer without vodka ..." and "no drinks" with a hangover does not work. Everything depends primarily on the amount of alcohol consumed, not the composition. Of course, provided that you drink quality beverages. Because if it is "wine" was created on nobody knows clandestine production somewhere in the suburbs, here we are We faced not only with a hangover, but with the usual poisoning chemicals, of which it is the "wine" was done. So my recommendation here would be almost powerless. Poisoning prevented only one known way: no grass!

Now the advice to those who have survived the violent party in the morning realized that even though you do not want to live, but it is necessary.

1. Be sure to eat something fatty and salty. Or separately: something bold and something salty.

As I mentioned above, a hangover - dehydration result. A salt retains the necessary water in the body. Therefore, the ancient idea of ​​cucumber pickle is not so bad.

Fats do we need to recover the cells. Including - the brain cells, which is most affected by dehydration. Fats are part of the cell membrane, which is why they will be very helpful.

The only "but": it is best to give preference to a "good" fats - namely unsaturated. They are found in all vegetable oils. Just do not forget that the oil must be refined and cold-pressed. Drink it with a spoon, like my friend's husband, of course, possible, but tasteless. Therefore, eat peanuts, avocado, sunflower seeds (preferably saline). any oily fish are also well suitable. Even sardines in tomato sauce! If there is power, then fry themselves on olive oil, scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Great food with a hangover.

For those who are wondering how to choose and buy oil, there an article in my blog.

2. Banal - drink plenty of water.

Yes, often will not go (not that that on the eve of champagne!). But you have to force yourself. Before you turn off your headache painkillers from the pharmacy, drink two large glasses of water. Through force, but this must be done. 20-30 minutes should be much easier. Guaranteed.

3. Supply of vitamin C.

This super-vitamin not only is an antioxidant and protects cells, but also thins the blood. That is why the headache is removed in vitamin C with the same success as aspirin.

Dosage - not less than 1000 mg. And even better 2000 mg. Drink it should be plenty of water and take during or immediately after a meal. With a healthy stomach can and an empty stomach.

When purchasing select vitamin C preparations with bioflavonoids (substances contained in plants). In their structure will always be either a lemon or acerola or rose hips.

4. Drink 2 teaspoons fish oil.

If liquid fish oil is not present, suitable capsules. Dosage - 2000 mg.

Fish oil also helps repair cells, thins the blood, and stabilize blood sugar, and it will help you sleep, if you have time. It is often a hangover is caused by the fact that we did not sleep. Yes, of course, we think that we just disconnected. But actually sleep after alcohol is very shallow just because of the increased blood sugar levels. Even 1 (!) Glass of wine at dinner adversely affect the quality of sleep. And our article explicitly for such cases ...

5. Do not drink coffee.

Nor to cheer or to occupy myself with something. Coffee provoke an even bigger surge in blood sugar, and then it will be a sharp decline. Caffeine also dehydrates the body. Therefore it is better limit your tea (preferably not black - in it, too much caffeine).

Finally I want to note that if you usually leads fairly healthy lifestyle, the hangover you will have a less pronounced in comparison with those who have given up on her hand. I know for myself. Though I am a nutritionist, but also attend a party and drink wine. Where do without it! But he noted that in recent years, I have a hangover does not happen. Fatigue - yeah. But under any amount of alcohol consumed, and are mixed in my head does not hurt anymore. Not to mention the other "wonderful" the consequences of fun. The first age, unfortunately, I have already behind, but the second is still too long to come. On something else, but my power, I can not be written off.

Reasons are two.

First, when the body is loaded with a decent daily portion of food chemistry (Preservatives, dyes and other "charms" food industry), it is easier to perform their liver function. That is why the alcohol withdrawal process of the organism passes quickly and painlessly.

Second, when you exercise regularly or just intensely moving, your excretory system works faster and more streamlined. Even when you are sleeping. That is why the recovery is faster.

Good health to you!
