Scientists call unexpectedly effective remedy against hangovers.
About how to stop a painful hangover, you can hear a lot of recommendations.
But scientists from China have come to the conclusion that the best is the soda, and concrete, with a taste of lemon or lime.
A group of researchers from sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, studying the peculiarities of ethanol metabolism, tested a number of drinks to set them hangover potential, said electronic journal MIGnews.com. This list of drinks, presumably could mitigate the effects of alcohol abuse and selected according to the results of the survey were made soda with lemon taste – it is in the tests and showed the most effective effect
This soda contains in its composition substances that accelerate the body’s reaction to alcohol. Speeding up the process of assimilation, digestion and excretion of alcohol from the body, drink the most “treats”, said Chinese researchers.
Scientists claim that this prolonged absorption of alcohol by the body, not the alcoholic beverage itself, is the cause of feeling bad in the mornings and often accompanied by headache and nausea – symptoms of intoxication.
“When a person drinks an alcoholic beverage, the liver secretes the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, thereby reducing the amount of alcohol in the blood. The interaction of acetaldehyde and of another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase, is obtained the acetate. This substance is harmless, but the interaction of acetaldehyde and acetate causes severe hangover” – elaborated on the specialists.
The doctors explained to ease the symptoms of intoxication, it is necessary to minimize the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body.
According to them, a lemon soda (e.g., “Sprite”) uses for its assimilation of such an enzyme, involved in the work, lowers the acetaldehyde levels. Therefore, such a soda and facilitates a state of “hangover”.
