Tips to cure hangover

Now, in the middle of 2018, we are going to see **3 fundamental tips to cure a hangover. ** They are very simple things that maybe you already know, but you don’t know why.

• HYDRATE YOURSELF! We will always repeat it. Water is essential, it is literally the only thing that fits the description of “elixir of life”. Water is necessary for ALL body functions. Therefore, we cannot survive without water for more than 3 days, compared to food, which we can do without for weeks. And when drinking alcohol, it shouldn’t be an option. Alcohol dehydrates and you already know it. The best advice is, when drinking alcohol, drink at least 2 liters of water. If you can more, the better. Also drink a glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have. This will help you avoid a hangover.
• Avoid high intensity exercise. That’s right, I don’t think we’ve ever written those words together in any blog. But it’s true. As in the previous point, the loss of electrolytes, sodium and potassium through sweat, helps make the hangover worse. These substances help the muscles function properly and therefore, being dehydrated and sweating, it is easier to get hurt. Tip: avoid high intensity exercise… BUT if you do LOW intensity exercise; a good walk, some gentle yoga, etc.
• Eat well. Have you ever wondered why you crave fatty and unhealthy foods while drinking? It is the body asking for more sodium. In addition to drinking more water, it is also important to eat things with more sodium. Tip: Instead of stuffing yourself with junk food, consume sodium in a healthy and nutritious way. Try scrambled tofu with whole wheat bread or salmon dressed with soy sauce, spinach and rice.
