After drinking too much alcohol, you can feel awful all over. Recently, Fox News published an article on what to do and what not to do after drinking, which is very effective for relieving hangover symptoms.
1. Don't drink too much coffee. Caffeine is a diuretic, and drinking a lot of coffee after drinking can worsen dehydration and make you feel even worse. Suggestion: Drink black tea, drink more water the next day, which can have a refreshing effect.
2. Don't take fever reducers. Taking fever reducers (acetaminophen) after drinking can produce toxic substances, leading to liver inflammation and even permanent damage. Suggestion: Take ibuprofen one hour earlier the next morning.
3. Eat less sausage and ham. Greasy foods like sausages and ham have long been considered the "king of hangover cures." Although they can have some effect, it's best to avoid these foods after drinking. Because greasy foods do not provide the necessary nutrients at this time. Suggestion: It's best to eat boiled or fried eggs. The cysteine in eggs helps break down alcohol.
4. Don't exercise. Exercising after drinking is not recommended. Alcohol has a diuretic effect, and after drinking, the body loses more water, which can easily lead to dehydration. Exercising at this time will increase the risk of dehydration. Suggestion: It's best to take a cool shower and relax properly.
5. Don't eat fried foods. Fried foods may make you feel comfortable for a moment, but you may feel sick a few hours later. Suggestion: Eat some plain bread or low-salt crackers, which can improve hypoglycemia and reduce nausea. In addition, eating a banana after drinking can replenish potassium.
6. Don't take hangover pills. Hangover pills can temporarily relieve hangover symptoms, but in fact, they will prolong the time of being drunk. Suggestion: Drink plenty of other beverages. Mineral water is the best choice. Sports drinks can replenish electrolytes; low-acidity orange juice can replenish vitamin C; natural juices can maintain blood sugar levels.
7. Don't eat before bed. The idea that eating something before bed can absorb alcohol is a misconception. Suggestion: Just drink some water before bed, which can replenish body fluids and help sober up.
