Hangover remedies that do and don’t work — for a swift recovery from holiday excess
NY Post
From spiked eggnog to warm mulled wine, holiday excess can leave you in a hungover haze for days.
It’s not just the holiday season, of course: Americans are now drinking at record high levels, with childless women over 35 leading the bar crawl.
That means more people are likely to spend their days struggling to get over a horrendous hangover.
While some studies claim to support the potential health benefits of light to moderate alcohol consumption, several others have found that any amount of alcohol could increase the risk of developing health complications such as cancer, liver disease, and diabetes that can lead to an early death — and its harmful effects on the body can be felt after just one night of over-consumption.
“A hangover is a clinical condition that is characterized by a combination of effects from alcohol metabolism and dehydration,” Dr. Johnny Parvani, REVIV founder & chief medical officer, told The Post.
Alcohol can cause dehydration, poor sleep, headaches, heart pounding, stomach issues, nausea and vomiting, as well as inflammation in the liver, pancreas, brain, gastrointestinal tract and other organs as the body struggles to flush out the toxins and recover nutrients.
