No heart hangover killer! – How to protect yourself from yesterday’s syndrome?

A hangover is not just the result of incompetently combining alcohols or drinking a glass too much. We make mistakes the night before the party. In fact, there are three stages during which we can do something to the so-called. “yesterday syndrome” was the least noticeable.

Use the popular wedge only as a last resort. Let a small portion of diluted alcohol play its role, with a larger one, acetaldehyde responsible for the ailments will be produced again. There is a whole spectrum of activities that will help relieve a hangover.

Stage I – Begins with going to bed the night before

1. Be sure to get enough sleep before New Year’s Eve or another celebration that will be showered. In people who are overtired, the effects of alcohol are noticeable much faster.
2. Try to reach for cigarettes twice as often, because the nicotine contained in them intensifies the symptoms of alcohol poisoning. As in the case of alcohol, its metabolism takes place in the liver, which will not cope with the fight against both drugs at once.
3. On this day, provide your body with vitamins and minerals, thanks to which you will be properly strengthened before the party. You can also buy preparations that, when taken while drinking alcohol, mitigate its later effects.
4. Make a sour soup before you leave the house. We recommend cucumber soup, cabbage soup and sour rye soup.
5. Under no circumstances drink on an empty stomach. Eat something fatty an hour beforehand to protect the walls of your stomach and duodenum. When you drink on a full stomach, you absorb alcohol more slowly.

Stage II – Skilful consumption of liquors

1. Do not mix vodka with champagne or beer, as the released carbon dioxide will contribute to the rapid absorption of alcohol.
2. Keeping alcohol in your mouth makes it go to your head instantly.
3. The hangover after pure, strong alcohols, unlike quality liquors, will be lighter, which is related to the lower content of methanol.
4. We generally need 20 minutes to absorb alcohol, so take breaks between drinks.
5. Referring to the previous point, it is worth consuming a glass of still water after each serving. You can replace water with any alcohol-free drink, although carbonated ones are the least recommended.
6. To protect yourself from dry mouth in the morning, drink at least two glasses of water before going to bed. You will protect yourself against the effects of diuresis after alcohol related to the excretion of water from the body.
7. Weather permitting, sleep with the window open.

Stage III – This day

1. Take a refreshing shower that will also help your skin breathe.
2. You need nutrients, so force yourself to eat. In addition to sour soup, reach for broth and scrambled eggs.
3. Oxygenate the body while walking, thanks to which the headache should ease.
4. Wait out irritability and problems with concentration.
5. Do not overdo it with painkillers, to which the stomach may react incorrectly.
6. Hydrate your body:

• non-carbonated mineral water will provide valuable minerals and trace elements,
• coffee – relieves headache,
• isotonic drink – a source of valuable ions,
• tomato juice – potassium will take care of the efficient functioning of the nervous system,
• honey and fruit juices – due to the fructose they contain, they will help burn alcohol.
