Hangover Cures
Hangover cures vary from country to country and culture
to culture. Most concentrate on one aspect of a hangover,
not all of them. To date there is no known cure for a
hangover. Just to be on the safe side lets take a look at
some of the things people use.
- Coffee will wake you up, but it is
also a diuretic. So it will increase your
dehydration. It will also irritate an already upset
stomach. Ask anyone with an ulcer. They can
tell
you.
- Multi-Vitamin alcohol literally
leaches the calcium from your bones. It strips the
body of its vitamins. In particular B
vitamins. B vitamins are
essential to good functioning of the neural system.
- Ginsing will help pep you up without
the problems of coffee's caffeine.
- Non-Caffeinated soda pop. The
bubbles help ease the stomach discomfort. It also
gives a little sugar boost and helps with dehydration.
- Sports Drinks great for the
electrolytes you've knocked out of sync and hydrates
the body.
- Pickle Juice seems to work for some
people. Other than being salty to help you retain
water I have no idea why.
- Sauerkraut also seems to help.
It is very nutritious. Perhaps this is why it
works.
- Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Tylenol will
help with the headache. Again, they can also
aggravates the stomach lining. Don't take them before
you go to bed and be careful if you have an ulcer.
It's also a blood thinner like alcohol. It's also
hard on the liver like alcohol.
- Sweat, if you can stand it. Hot
shower, sauna, even just plain old physical exertion.
It will help you to sweat out some of the toxins you put in
your body.
- Eat your body needs fuel to rebuild
itself.
- Don't Eat, if you vomit, you will
further dehydrate yourself. It will also tear up your
esophagus. One already torn up by alcohol.
- Hair of the Dog can help alleviate a
hangover. A Bloody Mary can do wonders. While
your body is dealing with the new alcohol it is also
getting vitamins and hydrating itself. A
couple AA guys I know take a
pint or six pack with them when on their
interventions.
- Sleep is your bodies best friend when
you have a hangover. Try everything above but, give
Sleep top priority.
According to the medical professionals at the Mayo Clinic:
"The best approach to hangovers is to avoid them by not
overimbibing in the first place."
For hangover cures I recommend lots of Gatorade, a good
multi vitamin and B-100 capsule, eat if you can, and get as
much sleep as possible.
