The holiday season is not only about pleasant chores and anticipation of magic. These are funny friendly parties, corporate parties, and ... a headache the next morning, a feeling of fatigue, emptiness, and other unpleasant symptoms of yesterday's too stormy fun. There are many drugs for a hangover, but not all are fully approved by doctors - the same good old aspirin has a number of contraindications and unwanted side effects. But there are also quite safe and even enjoyable methods of recovering from a nuclear party. Here are five simple yet effective ways.
Sound long sleep:
The best, easiest, and most enjoyable way to recover. It is during sleep that cells receive maximum opportunities for regeneration. In particular, if during a holiday feast your liver is very actively working on processing alcohol, then during sleep, the process of its natural recovery starts.
Eat foods with fructose:
Fructose helps speed up the metabolism of alcohol. If at a party you are a little carried away by alcohol, then the next day it is better to pay special attention to fruits that are high in fructose and other sugars, for example, lychee fruits, grapes, or figs. Keep in mind that dried figs have a higher sugar content than fresh ones (the same goes for raisins). Dried apricots and prunes are rich not only in sugars but also in potassium, which stimulates rehydration - replenishment of fluid in the body. Ideally, it's best to stock up on fruit snacks before the party so you don't waste time and energy on it the next day.
Gotta sweat:
If the next morning after the party you do not suffer too much from a headache, but you clearly feel uncomfortable, then you should not give up the workout. Moreover, you can even slightly increase the load in order to sweat thoroughly and help the lymphatic system to remove toxins. A hot bath will also be effective, but you should not go to the sauna - excessive sweating can lead to even greater dehydration and a decrease in blood sugar levels.
Ginger:
Gingerbread cookies have long been considered a good remedy for pregnant women suffering from morning sickness. Tea with ginger or a piece of ginger, ground with brown sugar, will also help get rid of nausea and upset stomach and intestines after a fun corporate party. Gingerbread and biscuits are fine too.
High-calorie food for prevention:
Who hasn't heard the good old-fashioned advice to eat a slice of butter just before the party kicks off? Nutritionists strongly advise controlling the amount of fatty and high-calorie foods in the diet, but the eve of a holiday is the time when you can (and even need to) afford something very high-calorie, like pizza or French fries. And never forget the basic rule of a successful meal - do not consume alcohol on an empty stomach.
In general, the strategy for dealing with a hangover is very simple: drinking plenty of water (drinking or mineral, preferably still) to prevent dehydration, getting enough sleep, having a hearty breakfast, and taking dietary supplements (ginger, ginseng, Eleutherococcus).
