Why does a hangover occur?
Though the exact mechanism is poorly understood, a hangover is caused by excessive alcohol drinking leading to dehydration (increased urine production thereby leading to dehydration), metabolic acidosis, increased levels of acetaldehyde (increased inflammatory response from the immune system). The nausea is caused by an increased acid content in the stomach that causes irritation of the stomach lining. Expansion of the blood vessels leads to headaches. They also make our blood sugar level fall down leading to fatigue and other symptoms.
Say goodbye to Hangovers
The only possible way to bid goodbye to Hangovers is by bidding goodbye to alcohol forever. However, if you are currently facing a hangover some things can be done to help:
- Keep your sugars in the normal limit by eating foods like crackers that are easy on your stomach and also raise blood sugar.
- Replenish the fluids that were lost in dehydration due to alcohol by drinking plenty of water or natural fruit juices.
- Sleep adequately. It helps in recovering from a hangover.
Above all, quitting alcohol is the only solid solution. If it cannot be done so, drinking should be done in moderation. And between each drink, water consumption will help to stay hydrated and consume lesser alcohol.
