How to cure hangovers

Gatorade, Pedialyte, Powerade, coconut water 바카라 게임 웹사이트 everyone has a favorite "hangover drink" that they swear makes them feel at least mildly less miserable when nursing a headache or sick stomach the morning after drinking. And most of these popular morning remedies have a common thread, too: They바카라 게임 웹사이트re packed with electrolytes, which are minerals that help keep you hydrated, among all sorts of other important things in your body.).To some extent, sipping an electrolyte-packed drink makes sense: If you spent the whole night boozing, you바카라 게임 웹사이트re likely dehydrated, so filling up on liquids and much-needed electrolytes can only help you feel better, right?Experts aren't quite sure this hangover hack is that simple to understand. Here, nutrition science professionals get to the bottom of whether or not there바카라 게임 웹사이트s anything to the idea that drinking more of the right stuff can actually help bounce back from a night of drinking the, err, wrong stuff.First things first: Why do you get hungover to begin with?That achy, nauseous feeling? 바카라 게임 웹사이트It starts when the blood alcohol level returns to zero,바카라 게임 웹사이트 says Dr. Stacy Sims, an exercise physiologist and nutrition researcher, and Women바카라 게임 웹사이트s Health adviser. When that happens, the feeling of dehydration sets in. That바카라 게임 웹사이트s in part because alcohol has a diuretic effect on the body, meaning it makes you urinate, so you're low in fluids after a night of libations. But the other root of your discomfort stems from the fact that ethanol (a type of alcohol in booze) crosses the blood-brain barrier, messing with many of your body바카라 게임 웹사이트s systems, says Sims. For example, your liver has to go into overdrive to try to metabolize ethanol and its more toxic byproduct, acetaldehyde, which your body creates after drinking, she explains. Acetaldehyde is the main reason behind all those icky side effects associated with imbibing, like nausea, a racing heart and a red face. You바카라 게임 웹사이트re left with unregulated blood sugar and inflammatory compounds floating around your body, which can lead you to feel super hungover. Let's not disregard the fact that you likely got a terrible night's sleep if you had a wild night out and stayed up late. Alcohol can tank your sleep quality, so all that certainly doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t help either, Sims notes. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Many of these disturbances of the body바카라 게임 웹사이트s natural physiology persist the next day long after the alcohol is gone,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she says. Other reasons for your symptoms? Drinking alcohol can impact hormonal function in the body, says Ginger Hultin, a Seattle-based registered dietitian, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of ChampagneNutrition. Alcohol consumption can contribute to an increase in levels of the stress hormone cortisol and decreases in levels of a hormone called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which helps to regulate blood pressure and reduce how often you go to the bathroom.Enter my special hangover drink: Will chugging one cut the length and intensity of my hangover?In short, certain drinks might help 바카라 게임 웹사이트 but there's no guarantee you'll go from zero to 100. These sips aim to replace electrolytes 바카라 게임 웹사이트 sodium, potassium, phosphorus, chloride, calcium and magnesium 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and generally help regulate fluid levels in the body. Electrolytes also help all of your cells and systems communicate properly, explains Hultin.So, if you happen to have reduced electrolytes because you haven't been drinking enough fluids (including water) aside from several adult beverages, replenishing them could help a tad. 바카라 게임 웹사이트If the reason for your hangover really is related to electrolytes being out of balance, then perhaps replacing them could be helpful," she says. There's a catch, though: "It's very hard to know if this is the cause of a hangover unless your doctor is analyzing a blood test,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hultin adds.In addition, the cause of hangover symptoms is incredibly complicated and multifaceted to begin with, as explained previously. So framing a hangover simply as an issue of needing to replenish electrolytes probably isn't the best approach. Also, some research has found that electrolytes actually don't change that much after a night of imbibing, says Hultin, contrary to popular belief. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Though everyone metabolizes alcohol differently, electrolyte drinks may not be the cure we're looking for,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she says.While researchers have studied the topic of hangovers, as of now, there바카라 게임 웹사이트s simply no known magic cure for them Hultin notes. That being said, if you just feel good, even if it's partially in your head, after a blue Gatorade when you wake up feeling terrible, enjoy it. Rehydrating and using electrolyte replacements is not harmful, she points out.But hydration in general does count for something when I바카라 게임 웹사이트m hungover, right?For sure. When you drink, there바카라 게임 웹사이트s some evidence (as mentioned) that your urination frequency goes up, which does leave your body is need of some serious H2O. And while you can certainly sip plain water, your favorite hangover drink with electrolytes might pack an additional punch. 바카라 게임 웹사이트You need a bit of sodium to help with fluid absorption, and the little bit of sugar found in the low-carb electrolyte drinks helps with blood sugar,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Hultin says. If you바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to rely on a beverage, make it a sip that바카라 게임 웹사이트s 1.5 to 3 percent carbohydrates, and with sodium 바카라 게임 웹사이트 that바카라 게임 웹사이트s most effective for hydration, says Sims. Standard Pedialyte and Gatorade both have more sugar than that 1.5 to 3 percent recommendation (though Gatorade Zero has just a gram). Something like Nuun Sport electrolyte-rich tablets that you just add to a glass or bottle of water also work, she says. Coconut water, too, is low in calories and high in potassium. On top of drinks, watery soups with salt (chicken or miso soup) would fit the bill. You can also get a combo of hydration and electrolytes by drinking plain water and eating lots of foods that contain electrolytes like fruits, vegetables and seeds.Is there anything else I should do to kick my hangover?Rest and rehydrate, and just give your body (and mind) some time to recover. You had some fun, and your body is paying for it. And even though that large plate of bacon and eggs looks delicious, try your best to eat as healthy as you can. 바카라 게임 웹사이트The body has been exposed to a toxin and needs to do some clean up,바카라 게임 웹사이트 says Hultin. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I never recommend drinking again the next day to cure a hangover,바카라 게임 웹사이트 says Hultin, who adds that this can lead you to get caught up in a vicious cycle and wind up feeling way worse when twice the hangover kicks in.Also: Don't take an over the counter pain medication until any alcohol is out of your system 바카라 게임 웹사이트 to be safe, hours after you stop drinking 바카라 게임 웹사이트 advises Sims. 바카라 게임 웹사이트The combo of alcohol and NSAIDs increases the risk of stomach bleeds,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she says. Definitely not the hangover cure you were looking for.
