Either partying, celebration or clubbing one thing is for
sure, the great intake of alcohol! This can be followed the next day by a
serious hangover.
Hangovers vary from person to person, but usually involve a
headache, nausea, tiredness and dehydration. Dehydration is one of the main
causes of your hangover symptoms.
A hangover can leave you struggling to concentrate, feeling
irritable and sensitive to light – not a good combination if you were planning
to make the most of the day and not spend it in bed.
The main cause of a hangover is ethanol – the alcohol in
your drinks. It's a toxic chemical that works in the body as a diuretic, which
means it makes you pee more and you can become dehydrated as a result.
Dehydration is one of the main causes of your hangover symptoms.
Unfortunately there are no cast iron hangover cures, but
there are various ways that you can treat the symptoms to keep you going until
you have recovered.
1. Drink lots of water
It’s important to stay hydrated while you're drinking alcohol. That means
drinking plenty of water between cocktails. If you bypass that rule and wake up
groggy the next morning, drink up to rehydrate and flush the impurities from
your system.
2. Drink sport drinks
It’s important to stay hydrated while you're drinking alcohol. That means
drinking plenty of water between cocktails. If you bypass that rule and wake up
groggy the next morning, drink up to rehydrate and flush the impurities from
your system.
3. Eat toast or crackers
Eating bland foods may be the best option if your stomach is feeling
sensitive. The point of eating to tackle a hangover is not to
"absorb" the alcohol, but to boost your blood sugar and replenish
nutrients.
4. Take
Greasy Food
What you eat after drinking doesn't matter; it's what you eat before all
those merriment that can help lessen the pain the next day. Food helps slow the
absorption of alcohol, and the longer it takes the alcohol to reach your blood
stream, the longer it is until you become intoxicated.
5. Avoid taking more alcohol
Just as you are drinking water and juice to help rehydrate yourself,
drinking a lot of decaffeinated drinks, such as coffee, can make you more
dehydrated rather than less. Caffeine also narrows your blood vessels and
raises your blood pressure, which can also exaggerate your hangover symptoms.
6. Eat food rich in potassium
When you are drinking you will find yourself making regular trips to the
bathroom, due to the fact that alcohol’s a diuretic. When you are urinating a
lot you will lose more potassium than normal. Lower potassium levels contribute
to tiredness, nausea and weak limbs, all symptoms of a hangover. To tackle this
eats foods that are good sources of potassium.
7. Take pain killers
Pain killers can help with headaches and muscle cramps. Check the
recommended dosage on the packages, usually two tablets, and take them with a
glass of water when you wake up.
8. Take a multivitamin
When you drink alcohol your body will lose a lot of nutrients, including
vitamin B12 and foliate that will need to be replenished.
9. Take a gentle walk
Without exerting yourself too much or risking further dehydration,
getting out of the house and taking a walk can help you to feel better when hangover.
The rate that alcohol toxins are broken down is increased by your oxygen
levels.
10. Go back to bed
A hangover isn't caused by lack of sleep, but that makes it worse. Take a
long nap the day after: It’s the body’s
way of healing itself.
11. The Best Cure/Prevention
You're
a grown man/woman, you know to drink responsibly. But just in case you forgot:
Limit your drinks to about one every hour. Your body metabolizes each beer (or
wine or shot) in about 60 to 75 minutes, drink faster, and your blood alcohol
level rises faster. And always Eat before you drink.
