so you had a night out and woke up
feeling not so great the solution stop
drinking until next week when it happens
all over again it's inevitable and you
know it and while there are many pills
and myths that claim to do the job here
are the actual scientifically proven
tips to help handle your hangover before
you start drinking eat fatty foods and
carbs sure you want to look slim on your
night out but the fact is fatty foods
slow down the absorption of alcohol into
your body and help lessen stomach
irritation while carbs prevent low blood
sugar and ease nausea which means XNA
Amla vomiting this also gives your body
more time to process the harmful
byproducts of alcohol which we explained
in a previous video here one of the main
reasons for your hangover next water
water is your best friend before during
and after drinking alcohol is a diuretic
which means you'll be peeing out more
fluid than you're taking in and with
less water in your body your other
organs start to steal it from the brain
causing it to literally shrink which
causes headaches ouch so while you're
drinking have another drink of water and
do yourself a favor by choosing lighter
colored liquors dark drinks like red
wine bourbon brandy and whisky contain
higher concentrations of something
called congenital
engenders act as extra toxic chemicals
that your body has to eliminate and
while beer doesn't fit in this category
the age-old rhyme beer before liquor
never been sicker des apply carbonation
like that in beer or soda pop increases
the rate of absorption of alcohol
causing a worse hangover after the bar
more water you might be peeing all night
but it's better than your head exploding
tomorrow morning
aspirin before bed is also helpful it's
non-caffeinated and inhibits the release
of something called prostaglandin which
has been shown to contribute to
hangovers but stay away from
acetaminophen most commonly called
tylenol in North America acetaminophen
is extremely harsh on your liver and in
combination with alcohol can do some
severe damage in the morning your
breakfast can make all the difference
eggs contain cysteine an amino acid
which is required in the breakdown of
alcohol to acetate bananas contain
potassium which is essential for brain
muscle and body function and fruit juice
contains vitamins and fructose
or fruit sugar which gives you energy
and increases the rate at which your
body excretes toxins but perhaps the
most important rule know your limit
there are major differences between
genders races and individuals when it
comes to alcohol but by using these
simple strategies in the right order
you'll be on the road to avoiding those
pounding hangovers until next week you
do it again got a burning question you
