Hangover Treatment 101<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Have a nasty hangover? Don\u2019t let it get in the way of your day! Try these remedies to quickly reduce the ailing effects of over-drinking from the night before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink Several Glasses of Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is by far the most important and most effective method for treating a hangover. Your body is deprived of hydration right now and needs as much water as you can give it in a 24 hour period. Aim for one gallon of water. This is a sure way to flush out all those residual toxins and get your body back to a normal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, if you feel like you\u2019ve had too much to drink before going to bed, drink a few bottles of water to lessen the symptoms of a hangover the next morning. This truly works, especially if you are prone to headaches when hungover. If you are a coffee or tea drinker in the morning, limit your intake to one cup. Too much caffeine can enhance your hangover symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat As Soon As Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You likely did not eat as much as you should before drinking alcohol last night. So, with your water, you will need increase your blood sugar levels by filling your belly with something that will give you energy and absorb the digestive acids in your stomach, which can cause indigestion, upset stomach, and acid reflux. It should also help reduce the feeling of nausea and prevent you from vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When choosing something to eat, you\u2019ll want to reach for the phone and dial a pizza or Chinese delivery service, but don\u2019t. Try to eat something hearty and healthy if you want to feel better soon, like eggs, oatmeal, whole grain breads, deli meats, grilled fish, fresh vegetables, fruit, and whole wheat pasta are great choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay away from heavy creams, syrups, sugars, and grease. Highly processed foods and foods high in sugar will not make you feel better. They can actually prolong your hangover symptoms, like fatigue, headache, and upset stomach. You might just feel worse tomorrow if you spend all day consuming sugary frappuccinos, buttery cookies, and greasy fried foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicate Your Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are open to taking over-the-counter medication, consider taking Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and even an antacid to help alleviate your symptoms. This will help reduce body aches, headaches, and heartburn, and can even help settle an upset stomach. Never drink another alcoholic drink in the morning to alleviate your hangover. This will just prolong the inevitable. Try to not drink for a full 48 hours after curing your hangover too. This is the best way to get your body back on track after a night of drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
