Natural Remedies For Hangovers:

OK It happens. You've gone out with friends or family. You have had a little to much fun plus a few too many alcoholic beverages. The next morning you realize whoa too much, and now your head is pounding and you are willing to try anything to stop the miserable pain and nausea you are feeling. You're dealing with that dreaded hangover.

Common sense tells you that the best way to prevent a hangover is, of course, drinking in moderation or abstaining from alcohol all together. But keeping yourself well hydrated and nourished while you're drinking can help you with minimizing those terrible morning-after symptoms. If you try drinking a glass of water or other noncaffeinated beverage for each alcoholic beverage you drink. And definately don't drink on an empty stomach. Food helps slow the absorption of alcohol, giving your body time to metabolize it and get rid of the toxins found in alcohol, decreasing the chances of that hangover.

BIFIDUS:

Also known as (bifidum) is a helpful bacteria that inhabits the large intestines, and keeps nasty bacterteria at bay. It manufactures B vitamins, helping the bowels stay regular. But it has another very helpful property, it detoxifies acetaldehyde, a digestive by product of alcohol consumption that is theorized to cause most of the sym,toms of that hangover. The levels of acetaldehyde is greatly reduced when a person takes bifudus after a night of heavy drinking.
The recommended product is Bifido Factor from Natren. Just mix one teaspoon in 8 ounces of water and drink it before bedtime or as your regular nightcap. This truly is a natural cure for hangovers.

BANANAS:

bananas are a great pickmeup! While you were drunk and peeing after every beer or alcoholic drink, your body was passing lots of potassium drained from your body. Eating a banana loaded with potassium wil give your body a great boost. All you have to do is peel and eat

B VITAMINS:

Thiamin and vitamin B help the liver clear itself of acetaldehyde, reducing the symptoms of a hangover. If possible try taking one high potency B vitamin supplement, such as a B-50, before going out and drinking.

GINGER ROOT:

Ginger has long been used to treat nausea and seasickness. And, since having a hangover is much like being seasick, this easy to use remedy works wonders. If you're really green, the best bet is to drink ginger ale (no preparation required). If you can remain vertical for ten minutes, brew some ginger tea. Cut 10 to 12 slices of fresh ginger root and combine with 4 cups water. Boil for ten minutes. Strain and add the juice of 1 orange, the juice of 1/2 lemon, and 1/2 cup honey.

MILK THISTLE:

Milk thistle is a herb that is believed to protect liver cells from alcohol by preventing the toxins from entering the cells plus helping to remove those toxins already there. Two 20 milligram capsules with a meal prior to or while drinking. Use a product that is standardized to 70 to 80 percent silymarin, which is the therapeutic of the herb.

HONEY and LEMON:

(replenish the fluids and sugars lost when drinking alcohol)

Honey and Lemon. The classic hot drink (nonalcoholic, of course) is honey, lemon, and hot water. Easy to swallow, this beverage replenishes fluids and sugars lost to a hangover. It is important, of course, to use honey instead of white sugar. Honey contains fructose, which competes for the metabolism of alcohol. This healthy competition is needed, since it prevents the rapid change in alcohol levels that results in headaches. Plain sugar contains sucrose, which isn't absorbed by the body as quickly. To make the hot drink, boil 1 cup water and mix in honey and lemon juice to taste. Enjoy and drink several times a day.

Rice, Soup, or Toast. Food is probably the last thing you want to look at while recovering from a hangover, but you do need some food for energy. Stay with clear liquids until you can tolerate something solid. Then start off slowly with mild, easy to digest foods such as plain toast, rice, or clear soup

All these new Sports drinks, are a good way to replace the fluids as well as electrolytes and glucose your body lost while drinking.

JUICE:

Juice, especially freshly squeezed orange juice, will help raise your blood sugar levels and help ease some of your hangover symptoms. However, if your stomach is upset, skip acidic juices such as orange juice and try good old apple juice instead.

WATER:

Next to time and rest itself, drinking lots water is the best cure for a hangover. Dehydration causes some nasty effects on your body and causes much of the discomfort associated with that dreaded hangover. Stick to water, be it tap, bottled, or carbonated. Drink more than 8 glasses a day while recovering.
