<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">No matter how good our intentions are going into a celebratory get-together or social gathering, there may come a time where we overdo it. <a href="https://levanzafoodandherbals.com/2021/08/26/natural-cure-for-hangover/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">How to cure a hangover</a>? These homemade remedies might help. We're having a blast, we just keep going, and we end up "over served" along the way. And we pay for it: We wake up the next morning with a splitting head, dry mouth, and a queasy stomach.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">We're inflamed, sleep deprived, and dehydrated. And not only is alcohol a diuretic, it's also metabolized into toxic byproducts that leave us feeling rotten. Drinking too much can cause our blood sugar levels to bottom out and also disrupts our body's electrolyte balance. And even if we get a full night's sleep, alcohol interferes with the quality of deep sleep.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><b>The result</b>: We wake up feeling tired, achy, lazy and cranky -- also known as hung-over.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">The only proven way to avoid a hangover is to avoid over-drinking in the first place, making sure to pace yourself, eat before you start drinking, and stay hydrated. There are, however, effective day-after strategies that can help lessen the agony, if you do overdo it:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><b>Apple cider vinegar</b></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">Start your morning with 1 or 2 ounces of apple cider vinegar, diluted with 6 to 8 ounces of warm water. The vinegar has a natural diuretic effect that can help combat morning-after fluid retention, and it can help to stabilize blood sugar levels, which can be shaky after a night of drinking.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">See: <a href="https://levanzafoodandherbals.com/2021/09/22/7-easy-steps-to-cure-your-hangover/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">7 Easy Steps To Cure Your Hangover</a></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><b>Green tea</b></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">A bit of caffeine may help improve headache symptoms; try mixing green tea (instead of water) with apple cider vinegar to get the benefits of both. You can also use flavored green tea - think berry blend or ginger mint green tea - which can help with the flavor of the apple cider vinegar, at least a tiny bit.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><b>Beet juice + green juice</b></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">I know. Beet juice is quite possibly the very last thing on your list when you're trying to recover from over-drinking. But here's the science behind it: Beet juice helps to increase and improve blood flow and oxygenation throughout our muscle and tissues, which can help us feel better all-around.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">And green juice (think juiced spinach and kale) is rich in compounds that help support our body's natural detoxification processes. And both beet juice and green juice are alkalizing, helping to neutralize our body's acidity after a night of drinking.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">If you're new to juicing, don't worry, it doesn't have to be a giant hassle - there are a few relatively easy ways to get beet and greens juice. Juice bars like The Green Fork offer all-in-one blends of beet juice, greens and other vegetables, herbs and spices that can help with recovery and rejuvenation (the Green Fork calls theirs Balance).</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">Stores like Whole Foods Market sell little bottles of beet juice shots or beetroot powder to mix with water or a smoothie. And brands like Suja and Daily Greens sell grab-and-go bottles of green juices that you can mix with (or have in addition to) the beet juice.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif"">Add electrolyte-rich fluids. Hydration is a must. But sugary sports drinks are not. Replace fluids and electrolytes simultaneously with low-sugar water bottle add-ins like nuun tablets, rich in electrolytes sodium, potassium and magnesium. Sparkling mineral water, coconut water and unsweetened chocolate or vanilla almond milk are also good sources of electrolyte-rich fluids with zero added sugar.</span></span></span></p>
