How to drink during the holidays?
For some reason, the question of how to neutralize alcohol in the body occurs after a stormy party, and not before it begins.
You think in advance that you will drink before and after the workout (isolate, amino acids, gainer, etc.), so why not think about the upcoming binge in advance and prepare for it not only by going to the store for ethyl snacks?
Of course, the simplest answer is to drink moderately and does not satisfy the Russian person. If you drink, then while the hand is able to overturn the burning and not very drinks. And only then try to neutralize alcohol.
Here you will be disappointed, alcohol is neither an acid nor an alkali (base). Therefore, the reaction of its neutralization is impossible!
You can only accelerate the chemical conversion of alcohol through acetaldehyde to acetic acid. And the last one is decomposed into water and carbon dioxide.
These processes are engaged in our liver. When alcohol enters the body, the liver begins to produce enzymes, one of which will oxidize alcohol to aceltaldehyde, and the second – to acetic acid. Ideally, these 2 enzymes are produced simultaneously and in equal amounts. But in fact, the process is unbalanced. Vinegar aldehyde does not have time to oxidize, accumulates in the body and a hangover occurs.
So what should we do? If the restriction of alcohol is not possible? After all, an athlete must be strong in everything!
There are several recommendations!
Preparing for the feast.
A couple of hours before the start of the celebration, you need to drink 50-100 g of alcohol. The essence is to mentally and physically prepare the body to increase the dose. So to speak, to start the mechanisms of the liver that process alcohol. But each of us is individual and it is unknown how the body will behave after training. Someone will drink without getting drunk, and someone after the first toast will fall asleep in the salad.
1 hour before the party starts, drink a few tablets of activated carbon or other adsorbent. This measure will slow down the effects of alcohol.
Before drinking alcohol, drink strong tea with lemon. Citric acid and vitamin C will help you cope with alcohol poisoning.
Previously eat a full meal. Products will help reduce the concentration of ethanol and intoxication will occur later.
Behavior during a meal
Be sure to have a snack. Food should be light and low-fat.
Drink more non-alcoholic beverages without gases.
Dance, move, go outside to get some air. Fresh air and movement will speed up metabolic processes in the body. Alcohol will be more quickly absorbed, broken down and excreted.
What to do in the morning
The morning after a party is a time of struggle with alcohol intoxication. What foods should be consumed to quickly neutralize a successful evening?
All the same activated carbon 5-6 tablets to remove the products of intoxication.
Water, water, and more water. Alcohol requires water to break down and draws it from all the body's tissues. The more liquid, the better. Drink any compote or mineral water. You can buy at the pharmacy saline or drugs of type "Regidron" or "Trihedron".
If you did not buy it in advance, and you do not have the strength to walk to the pharmacy, then brine (tomato or cucumber) will perfectly contribute to recovery. Some do not delve into the details of why various brines are so helpful. It's all about salt, which is contained in large quantities in pickles. It is also included in the list of folk remedies that will limit the effects of ethanol. If you do not like vinegar or have stomach problems, then use tomato juice.
It is not recommended to drink coffee, it will only make the situation worse. Brew green or black tea with honey, it has a diuretic property that will allow you to remove all alcohol-containing beverages. Honey neutralizes any poisons that have a destructive effect on vital organs (unless, of course, the person is allergic).
Milk also has the property of eliminating alcohol intoxication. It neutralizes all the toxins that enter the body, so that the use of milk will not harm (drink 200 ml every hour).
Wash the body from all sides. Nothing better than gastric lavage for any intoxication is not invented. This will remove the remaining alcohol from the stomach and rid the intestines of decay products.
The nausea is over – have a good meal. An excellent remedy against the effects of alcohol is any hot broth, borscht, Solyanka, chicken soup and saturate the body and reduce the symptoms of intoxication. This action will improve your health in the shortest possible time.
Any physical activity – run, jump, go to training. Just take a walk in the Park in the fresh air. This will boost the metabolism, and alcohol will leave the exhausted body faster.
The sauna will also have a beneficial effect on your health. All the alcohol will come out with the sweat, and you will feel relief when you get out of it. But remember, never use this method if you have any heart problems.
If everything is really bad, you will have to go to the pharmacy. Medications that help alleviate the symptoms of a hangover, produce enough. You don't need a doctor's prescription to buy them. This is Medichronal, ALCO-Seltzer, succinic acid. Use in the quantities specified in the instructions.
Well. Forewarned means armed! Happy holidays and corporate events!
