There are different ways to fight a hangover. From the ancient doctors' advice "similia similibus curantur" to folk methods - cucumber brine.
Modern scientists have a different point of view on this matter. Of all the quick ways to reboot the body after a wild night, they decided to choose sports.
It is unlikely that a reasonable person with a headache and trembling hands would go for a run instead of drinking a spicy and hot broth, taking a headache pill or cleansing the body with activated charcoal. But still...
Research by scientists
Researchers at the University of Iowa decided to test whether exercise could help combat hangover symptoms.
Cardiologists intervened in the matter, and rightly noted that after an extra glass of alcohol, the body would inevitably become dehydrated.
Add to this restless sleep, indigestion and headache, and in the morning you will get a rapid heartbeat and increased feelings of anxiety, which indicates a release of adrenaline.
In such a situation, the first thing to do is to rule out dehydration.
It was further discovered that of all types of physical activity, it is better to give preference to a light jog, and even better, a walk in the fresh air. An exercise bike or swimming can help out.
In addition to drinking water before training, American scientists recommend having breakfast and eating something salty.
Conclusion
But all these tips are good for those who constantly exercise and do not like to miss training. And even in these cases, you should postpone training if you feel slightly unwell.
For others who expect to improve their health with a one-time workout, there is no hope.
Sports, without constant physical activity, will not help eliminate hangover symptoms.
