If you don’t want to face a hangover on the first day of next year, you should remember the simple rules that will save you from this.

Narcologist Daniil Petrov spoke in more detail with Gazeta.Ru .

He noted that special medications will ease intoxication and speed up the removal of toxins. For example, Panangin, but it should be taken according to the instructions and two days before the holidays, and you will also have to continue taking the medicine for another week.

After all, alcohol flushes out not only fluid from the body, but also important elements that are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

Another important rule is that you cannot drink alcohol on an empty stomach. In this case, strong intoxication will occur faster.

In addition, it is important to remember that alcohol should be drunk slowly. At the same time, the doses of alcohol should be divided by time. For example, at one hour you can drink 50 ml of the drink, and an hour later another 50 ml.

Dr. Petrov also talked about which foods are not suitable for snacking. First of all, he singled out fried, fatty and spicy foods, which will only put additional strain on the body.

In addition, you should not combine alcohol with sweet fruits and desserts.

It is better to choose salads, meat and fish or boiled vegetables, greens, citrus fruits. Sauerkraut is also suitable.

The specialist also reminded that alcohol should not be combined with soda or sweet drinks. Smoking is also not recommended. This will only increase intoxication.

It's much better to move more and breathe fresh air.

It is necessary to drink as much clean water as possible.

If you do end up drinking too much on a festive night, you shouldn’t continue the party.
