Hangover Cures and Tips
when alcohol is consumed it enters the bloodstream and causes the pituitary gland in the brain to block the creation of hormones. without the chemical signal, the kidneys send water directly to the bladder instead of reabsorbing it into the body. In order to make up for the loss of water to all the tissues and organs of the body, water is re-distributed from the brain... this is one cause of that horrible headache in the morning.
- Water, water and more water . Avoid coffee,tea and sodas that will dehydrate you further.
- Take an electrolyte supplement such as a potassium - magnesium tablet.
