Posted: April 18, 2019 |
Headache, nausea, fatigue, the after-hours are difficult, especially after the New Year's Eve. How to quickly get a hangover? No miracle cures ... But concrete solutions! This time, you are certain, you will not drink anymore. The reason for such a decision? The atrocious hangover that torments you since waking. Headache, fatigue, tremor and nausea remind you that your body does not forgive excessive alcohol consumption. Fortunately, you can help him recover. Although this phenomenon has already been experienced by all, the hangover, its mechanisms and its physiological causes have never really been at the center of serious scientific studies. This is a complex disorder related to several factors. But by treating each symptom separately, you can manage to relieve yourself. Below we discuss 4 hangover hacks that will help you make it pass. Drink water, a lot of water Water loss is the most well-known symptom of hangover. Indeed, alcohol has a diuretic effect, that is to say it increases the production and the excretion of urine. Drinking 0.12 liters of liquid containing 50 grams of ethanol results in a loss of one liter of water within hours, according to ChemistryViews. Not to mention the water lost through perspiration and possible vomiting. Although dehydration is probably not the main cause of a hangover, water can only do you good. This will allow your body to regain its balance. A fruit juice or chicken broth is even more strongly recommended, to provide the body with the sugars and minerals it has lost trying to destroy the ingested alcohol. Replace losses with sugars and protein During your drenched evening, your body has had to deal with the massive influx of ethanol into your blood. This compound is toxic, so the liver has concentrated all its efforts to suppress it. So you have consumed energy in the form of sugars and proteins for this task. Alcohol even caused a decrease in blood sugar in all drinkers by interfering with the production of glucose by the liver. This low blood sugar causes fatigue, irritability and dizziness. To remedy this symptom, do not be afraid to drink large glasses of fruit juice or even take vitamin-rich dietary supplements. A meal, light so as not to overload your liver, will also help your body recover its strength. Finally, remember that eggs are your best friends in this situation. They contain cysteine, an amino acid that destroys acetone, the toxin produced during the destruction of ethanol, which is also implicated in the symptoms of hangovers. Avoid bourbon, privilege white spirits The other culprits involved in the unpleasant experience of the hangover would be the so-called congeners, chemical compounds, other than ethanol and water, present in alcoholic beverages. Methanol, for example, which is the most toxic alcohol in existence. The liver has preferentially degraded ethanol so methanol has accumulated and will take much longer to be evacuated. In 1970, a study aimed to compare the effects of consumption of bourbon, rich in congeners, with that of vodka. The brown spirits generally contain greater amounts of congeners. Two groups received the same dose of alcohol, but 33% of those given bourbon suffered a hangover compared to only 3% of those who drank vodka. Better not to have heavy hand on brown alcohols and prefer for example, gin, the alcoholic drink containing the least congeners. Taking medicine against skull pain There is unfortunately no miracle cure that can get rid of the vice in which your head is. Alcohol has caused your blood vessels to dilate, causing the headache that you endure. It is also thought to disrupt the synthesis of some neural messengers, which will have a similar effect. Nevertheless, the true relationship between alcohol consumption and headaches remains unclear. The most effective is still to swallow a pill of paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin in addition to previous advice, to be patient and to rest. The miracle cure for a hangover does not exist yet, so we probably just have to take it philosophically, like the flip side of the coin after a night of excess.
