Help for a Hangover

The effects of alcohol will often result in a hangover. No matter what anyone claims there is no magic solution to a hangover. The feelings of nausea, weakness and headaches are common with a hangover. One of the most important things to do after waking up with a hangover is to take it easy and rest. Your body needs to recover, rehydrate and replenish the vitamins that were lost on a night of partying. Perhaps you should have taken a few precautionary steps the night before but now it is to late and you want to feel better fast. So what do you do now??

• Get some sleep. Planning for a day off after a party would be the ideal thing 
•  You are most likely dehydrated after a night of drinking so its time to rehydrate start with water and then you can add juice if you wish Go slow but keep drinking The water will rehydrate and the juice will help replenish Add ginger to the water to help with nausea
• Avoid caffeine if possible. A hot tea is the only exception as it may help offer a boost and help hydrate as well. 
• Taking a multi vitamin will help to replenish vitamins that were lost. If you have a glass of O.J this will help as vitamin C will help offer the body vitamins as well
• eat something I know you may not feel like it but it will help you feel better. A simple piece of bread, a few crackers or pretzels or a piece of fruit would be good to start with. If you are able to keep that down then you can try something with a bit more substance. 
• Getting up and moving will help your blood get pumping and increase your metabolism ridding your body of the toxins from the alcohol faster. This is not a magic cure but it can help restore your body and mind. Simply take a short walk in fresh air or sitting outside for a bit will help to restore the body.
• Avoid aspirin, tylenol and ibuprofen with a hangover. Both aspirin and alcohol are blood thinners  Taking any of the 3 can lead to other health issues. 
• Once you awake from that long nap take a cool shower. The shower will help to wake you up. 
• Alka Seltzer or other brand of effervescent tablet can help to remove nausea. A homemade version of 1/4 tsp of baking soda stirred into 4 oz of water with a splash of lemon juice. A glass of ginger ale may help as well. Believe it or not in Poland they drink pickle juice to help relieve hangover. 

Hopefully if you suffer from a hangover that it will leave as quickly as it seemed to come on.
