During holidays, people tend to drink heartily, which can easily lead to excessive alcohol consumption. If you eat something before drinking, such as high-protein dishes or foods, or drink some soy milk, etc., these foods will react with the alcohol in the stomach, reducing the absorption of alcohol. In addition, eating some fruits has a relatively good effect on preventing and treating drunkenness.
Watermelon promotes urination to accelerate alcohol excretion
Watermelon is sweet and cold in nature, with the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating vexation and quenching thirst, promoting urination, and lowering blood pressure. A glass of watermelon juice after drinking is very beneficial for preventing drunkenness because, once in the body, it can competitively inhibit the absorption of alcohol, reducing the amount of alcohol entering the bloodstream. On the other hand, watermelon juice has a significant diuretic effect, which can promote the faster excretion of alcohol from the body.
Reminder: The nutritional value of chilled watermelon will diminish. Fresh grapes can treat post-drunk nausea and vomiting
Grapes are rich in tartaric acid, which can interact with the ethanol in alcohol to form esters, achieving the purpose of sobering up. If eaten before drinking, they can also effectively prevent drunkenness. Bananas can treat post-drunk palpitations and chest tightness
Eating some bananas after drinking can increase blood sugar concentration, reduce the proportion of alcohol in the blood, and achieve the purpose of sobering up. At the same time, it can also eliminate symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness. Supplementary reading: Those who "flush easily" should drink less
When a person's face turns red after drinking, it is caused by the temporary dilation of subcutaneous blood vessels. This is because these people have highly efficient alcohol dehydrogenase in their bodies, which can quickly convert alcohol in the blood into acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde has the function of dilating capillaries, which can cause symptoms such as facial redness and even redness of the skin on the body, which is what we commonly call "flushing easily."
In addition to alcohol dehydrogenase, the human body also has a substance called aldehyde dehydrogenase. People who flush when they drink only have the former enzyme but not the latter, leading to the rapid accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body that cannot be metabolized for a long time, so the redness lasts longer. Compared with people who do not change color after drinking, acetaldehyde stays longer in the bodies of these people and has a greater toxic effect. However, generally speaking, after 1 to 2 hours, the redness will gradually fade. This is because the cytochrome P450 in the liver will slowly convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which will then be metabolized after entering the circulatory system.
