Prevention of alcohol allergy
1, don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach, because alcohol on an empty stomach is absorbed quickly, and drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is harmful to the gastrointestinal tract, which is easy to cause gastric bleeding and gastric ulcer. The best prevention method is to eat edible food, such as fat, hooves and so on. Before drinking, or drinking milk, use the indigestible characteristics of fat in food to protect the stomach and prevent alcohol from permeating the stomach wall.
2. Don't drink with carbonated drinks such as cola and soda. The ingredients in this kind of drinks can accelerate the absorption of alcohol by the human body. As for drinking hot soup after drinking, especially fish soup stewed with shredded ginger, it has a special hangover effect.
3. Because alcohol is harmful to the liver, you should eat more green leafy vegetables when drinking, in which antioxidants and vitamins can protect the liver. You can also eat some soy products, of which lecithin has the function of protecting the liver.
If you really can't help drinking too much, you can eat some fruit or drink some juice afterwards, because the acidic components in fruit and juice can neutralize alcohol. Many people often don't eat after drinking, which is more harmful. They should eat some digestible food, such as a bowl of noodles.
5, should be slow rather than fast. Alcohol can enter the blood five minutes after drinking, and the alcohol concentration in the blood can reach the peak at 30- 120 minutes. If you drink alcohol quickly, the concentration of ethanol in the blood will rise rapidly, and allergic symptoms will soon appear. If you drink slowly, your body can have enough time warp ethanol, and the amount of ethanol produced will be less.
6, the combination of diet. When drinking, you'd better eat pork liver. This is not only because of its rich nutrition, but also because pig liver can improve the detoxification ability of human body to ethanol. People who drink regularly will lose vitamin B in their bodies, and pig liver is the most abundant food of vitamin B, so it is an ideal match to eat boiled pig liver or fried pig liver.
7. Fruit dessert. Eating dessert and fruit immediately after drinking can keep you in good shape. As the saying goes, "If you eat sweet persimmons after drinking, the smell of wine will disappear", which is true. Sweet persimmon and other fruits contain a lot of fructose, which can oxidize ethanol and accelerate the decomposition and metabolism of ethanol. Dessert has a similar effect.
8. Taking a hot bath after drinking can promote blood circulation, help metabolism and make alcohol excreted with sweat. However, patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases should be careful of stroke after drinking and taking a bath, and should take a short rest first. Alcohol dehydrates cells in the body. Replenish a lot of water before going to bed and then after waking up, which will help alleviate the discomfort caused by dehydration.
9. Drink more fruit juice or honey lemon juice, which not only supplements water, but also contains fructose, which can accelerate the metabolism of alcohol and slow down the symptoms of nausea. Eating a balanced dinner can supplement all kinds of lost essential nutrients; But the diet should be light, and don't eat fried or high-fat food.
10, drink the first cup, and then drink the second cup after 30 minutes. If you want to drink the third cup, you must wait for an hour. But for the sake of your health, try not to reach for the fourth cup.
