We must discard paracetamol as much as possible, since when we have a hangover, the liver is working excessively because it has to eliminate toxic substances from our body and this type of medication makes our long-suffering liver work even more. To improve the health of our liver we can carry out some purifying treatment that we show you, which can be very beneficial for the elimination of these toxins.
Avoid coffee
Many people eat coffee in the morning for breakfast, but in case of having a hangover it is not recommended, since coffee is a diuretic drink and the only thing you will achieve will be to increase the dehydration that your body has, making the situation worse. Instead of drinking coffee, have a piece of fruit. You will replenish vitamins and sugars.
If you have heartburn, avoid taking citrus fruits, because they will make you feel bad. You can substitute an orange for an apple.
Eat well
It is possible that in the hangover state you do not want much food and we are not going to recommend that you binge, but you should eat to get your body to be able to reduce alcohol levels. Even if you have a lack of appetite, make a little effort to eat, because you will feel better.
If you are very nauseous, eat slowly and in small amounts, but don't have an empty stomach.
You should preferably eat carbohydrates, so a plate of pasta or rice can be perfect.
Drink a lot of water
One of the effects of alcohol is that it dehydrates our body and is the main cause that the next day we feel so bad, therefore it is necessary to replace fluids as soon as possible.
It is highly recommended to drink water before going to sleep when we get home from the party to alleviate a bit of hangover symptoms and drink water as soon as we get up in the morning. Throughout the day continue drinking water little by little, it will help a lot to cure the hangover and if you add a little sugar, better than better. We will feel better before.
Eat a banana
Bananas contain potassium and antacids that will help reduce inflammation of the blood vessels and eliminate nausea that we may have due to hangovers, in addition they can also be useful to eliminate headaches. This is why it is highly recommended to take a banana as soon as we get out of bed.
Have a tomato or gazpacho juice
Tomato juice is very rich in vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, K and E) and minerals and when we have a hangover we need to replace them, also tomato is an excellent antioxidant, which will help us Also to eliminate toxins, it is for these reasons that a tomato juice can work miracles.
If we can take a gazpacho better than better, because in addition to tomato it has other vegetables that will provide us with many more vitamins and minerals. You will immediately notice an improvement!
Things you should not do to remove your hangover
There are many false myths about hangover methods that only make things worse and other things we do without knowing they are going to hurt us. Keep in mind what you should never do when you have a hangover:
Take paracetamol.
- Eating junk food or food high in fat: they will cause an upset stomach.
- Go to the sauna: There is a false belief that the sauna helps to eliminate toxins from alcohol, however, this is false and we can also feel much worse in the sauna due to the heat and dehydration it causes us.
- Consume caffeinated beverages: As mentioned above, caffeine is diuretic, which will dehydrate us more. In addition, it can cause stomach discomfort, causing heartburn.
- Drinking more alcohol: Drinking more alcohol is a very bad idea, you will only manage to lengthen the time that your hangover lasts.
Things you must do to prevent hangovers
- Although it is obvious, we must say it: drink in moderation. However, it is not necessary to end up in a drunken state to suffer a hangover, sometimes we suffer from a hangover without having gotten drunk.
- Eat before drinking: it is important to eat before drinking, since in this way the absorption of alcohol will slow down, so you will not be overloading the activity of the liver and will be able to work at a more adequate rhythm. You can take nuts or foods rich in vitamin B or fatty foods (you must consume fatty foods before having a hangover), you can also take protein.
It is better to drink white drinks than dark alcohols.
- Try to drink with breaks between cups. Drinking too often makes our body unable to keep up with the rhythm and becomes saturated due to not being able to metabolize the amount of alcohol that we are ingesting.
- Try drinking water or juice between one glass and another. It helps reduce dehydration and gives the body more time to process alcohol. The intoxication will be less.
- Drink slowly, take small sips. If you drink too fast, hangover symptoms will also come faster.
- Avoid mixing different types of drinks.
