Brine, as it turned out, is not the only drink that can relieve the condition of people who managed to walk wonderfully the day before. According to scientists from Finland, another drink, coffee, can weaken a hangover symptom. To achieve the effect, however, you need to drink at least five cups of coffee a day.
Experts explain the reason for the beneficial effect of the drink on the body as follows: when alcohol enters the blood, the amount of liver enzymes known as gamma glutamine transferase (GGT) increases. And their high level ultimately provokes the onset of intoxication. Drinking coffee in the morning not only gives people a feeling of vigor, but lowers the level of harmful enzymes in the blood, thereby alleviating the condition of the “sick”.
The study, which established this useful fact, involved 19 Finnish women and men, who were approximately 000-25 years old. They first informed the doctors about the alcohol they had drunk in the evening and the coffee they had consumed in the morning. After that, the doctors took a blood test of the respondents to measure the level of GGT in the blood.
As a result, it was found that the level of enzymes was 50% lower in participants who drank invigorating coffee at least five times during the day after drinking alcohol. The drink was especially effective on the stronger sex. And the way the coffee was brewed did not affect the result of the experiment.
