1. Yogurt, celery juice, and grapes can relieve post-drink discomfort

Excessive drinking can excessively irritate the stomach, affecting its normal function and causing damage to the gastric mucosa. Therefore, after drinking too much, it can trigger stomach discomfort, nausea, and loss of appetite. It is recommended to drink some yogurt before, during, and after drinking. It contains lactic acid, which can help sober you up, and it will also form a protective film on the gastric mucosa to slow down alcohol absorption and protect the stomach from alcohol damage as much as possible. For post-drink digestive discomfort, you can drink a glass of celery juice. Celery is rich in B vitamins, which can break down alcohol. Besides celery juice, eating some grapes is also excellent. Grapes contain rich tartaric acid, which can react with ethanol to reduce the alcohol concentration in the body and relieve stomach discomfort.

2. When eating hot pot, add tofu and lotus seeds to prevent "heatiness"

Many friends crave meat that is fresh and tender, often tossing raw meat and raw fish into the pot and immediately taking them out to eat. However, at this time, bacteria or parasite eggs parasitic in the meat are usually not killed and directly enter the human digestive tract, easily causing gastrointestinal infections and other diseases. In addition, chopsticks and bowls used to pick up and serve raw food should be kept separate from tableware for direct consumption to avoid mixing raw and cooked food. Experts suggest that when eating hot pot, you can add some tofu and white lotus seeds. Because tofu has the effect of clearing heat, reducing fire, relieving vexation, and quenching thirst; and lotus seeds are not only rich in various nutrients but also a good medicine for the body to regulate and nourish. The added white lotus seeds should preferably not have the lotus hearts removed, as the lotus heart has the effect of clearing the lungs and purging fire.
