Men often have social engagements, and alcohol is inevitably part of them. While drinking can be enjoyable, getting drunk is often unpleasant. In fact, besides hangover medicine, the simplest way to sober up is to eat certain fruits that can help.
1. Watermelon promotes urination and speeds up alcohol excretion
Watermelon is sweet and cold in nature, with effects of clearing heat, relieving summer heat, alleviating vexation and thirst, promoting urination, and lowering blood pressure. Having a glass of watermelon juice after drinking is very beneficial for preventing intoxication. After entering the body, it can competitively inhibit alcohol absorption, reducing the amount of alcohol that enters the bloodstream. On the other hand, watermelon juice has a significant diuretic effect, which can promote the faster excretion of alcohol from the body.
2. Fresh grapes can treat post-drug nausea and vomiting
Grapes are rich in tartaric acid, which can interact with ethanol in alcohol to form esters, achieving the effect of sobering up. Eating them before drinking can also effectively prevent intoxication. Eating grapes for liver protection is better than taking liver-protecting medicine.
3. Bananas can treat post-drug palpitations and chest tightness
Eating some bananas after drinking can increase blood sugar concentration, reduce the proportion of alcohol in the blood, and thus help sober up. At the same time, it can also alleviate symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness.
In addition to the three foods mentioned above, some small tips can also help you avoid the embarrassing situation of being drunk.
1. Do not drink on an empty stomach, otherwise, alcohol is easily absorbed in the stomach, leading to intoxication. It is recommended to eat some foods rich in starch and high protein before drinking, such as pastries, bread, eggs, milk, etc., as they can reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of alcohol and lower the chance of getting drunk.
2. If you feel dizzy or nauseous, you can cut half a cabbage heart into shreds, mix with a small amount of sugar and vinegar, and eat it. This method can quickly sober you up. You can also drink celery juice. After chopping and juicing the celery, drink it every 5 minutes. After three times, the feeling of dizziness will be relieved immediately.
3. Let the drunk person lie down and rest to avoid hypoxia or inhaling vomit into the trachea, which can lead to suffocation. If aspiration occurs, immediately remove the pillow, turn the person's head to one side, and pat their back to expel the inhaled substance. If the nausea is severe and they cannot vomit on their own, they can drink some vinegar water or plain water and use chopsticks or other objects to stimulate their throat to induce vomiting. If the drunk person shows symptoms such as unconsciousness, cold and clammy skin, convulsions, or coma, they should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.
While fine wine is good, one should not overindulge. For the sake of your own health, although drinking can be pleasant and beneficial for social occasions, your physical health should not be neglected.
