In order to cope with a hangover, it is necessary to restore the water-salt balance, remove toxins, and also remove pain symptoms. The main mistakes of Russians with a hangover are quoted by MK.
So, treating “like with like” can be harmful to the body. On the one hand, if you drink a small dose of alcohol, it will alleviate the condition, but the effect will not last long. At the same time, the volume of toxins from alcohol in the body will increase.
In addition, it is necessary to correctly calculate the dosage of folk remedies that help in the treatment of a hangover. For example, brine contains a large amount of minerals, which contributes to the rapid restoration of the water-salt balance. However, only one glass of brine will have a positive effect, and if abused, the swelling will increase, which means that the load on the heart will increase.
Treatment on an empty stomach will not bring a healing effect, so hot broth and moderately fatty foods are necessary for a hangover. Fat prevents the alcohol remaining in the stomach from affecting the body, and calories will restore glucose levels. It is also worth drinking chilled water with lemon, and it is better to refuse strong tea and coffee. In the fight against a hangover, milk and sour-milk drinks, unpasteurized kvass, among other things, help.
You should also pay attention to expensive hangover cures. When using them, you need to understand what the effect will be. Sometimes it is better to use regular activated charcoal, a dose of vitamin C and B.
Previously a doctor, psychiatrist-narcologist Alexander Ogorodnikov named a safe amount of alcohol for the body. According to him, you can drink a bottle of weak beer, a glass of dry wine or champagne, 45 grams of vodka, brandy or other strong drink – this amount does not pose a danger to the body. He added that because of the physiological characteristics, women suffer from alcohol more than men.
