Hangover Remedies - 10 Tips To Cure Morning Sickness

This is not a good idea, as you are only going to deplete your cells more and more, causing more toxic build up and cell damage. This theory probably came about because alcoholics do actually feel a sense of relief when they give into withdrawal symptoms. However, if you drink more when you are hung over, you are only depleting cells more, causing more cell damage, which can quickly lead to disease.

Have you ever heard that alcohol kills your brain cells? Well, as it turns out, it's true. Brain cells are more prone to dehydration, damage and vitamin loss than the other cells in your body. Brain cells are more sensitive and responsive than other cells in your body. They are also more dependent on fluids and vitamin C to function. Milk Thistle and Dandelion root herbs can detoxify your liver. The minerals Magnesium and Calcium can replace lost nutrients due to alcohol consumption. Finally, all B-Vitamins, Vitamin-C, and Acidophilus can all speed the healing process.

4) Try not to go overboard on aspirin, ibuprofen etc... - it's easy to think you need more than is prescribed on the bottle, but frequently only a small amount will do the trick. Try to avoid stronger prescribed pain killers as they may be more addictive and have unwanted side effects such as drowsiness. NOTE: The pain reliever acetaminophen has been linked to liver damage, therefore this drug should be avoided by drinkers.

5) Just 'sleep it off' (if you can). After being awake and suffering for a while, consider going back to sleep (if you have no pending obligations). A good nap after you've already had breakfast, aspirin, some water etc.... sometimes speeds the healing process. Just an hour or two back in bed may be what the doctor ordered. Consider using an alternative sleep aid such as soft music to help you get more rest. Also, always have an eye mask on hand to block out unwanted light.

Here are 3 less conventional, yet possibly effective solutions to your hangover dilemma:

1) "Will" yourself to exercise. This may be very difficult in the midst of feeling 'blah,' but if you can overcome your feelings and lack of morning motivation, try to exercise any way you can. Getting your body to move ultimately energizes your spirit and mental alertness and possibly helps your body rid excess alcohol and toxins more quickly. One easy way to invigorate body and mind is to take a good brisk walk around the block.

2) Consider chewing gum aggressively, but don't overdo it. By chewing gum fast or chewing several pieces at a time, you may make yourself temporarily more alert by increasing blood flow around the head and brain area. Obviously do not chew if you have dental issues. Also avoid chewing for too long - your jaw muscles may become tired or sore, possibly resulting in another headache.

3) Fill your sink with water and ice and keep dipping your head in-and-out until you've had enough. This is sure to invigorate your senses! An ice cold shower can also have similar effects.

Finally:

1) If you have a nasty headache, try using a forehead ice pack. Not only may this help your headache but the coldness might actually help jolt your overall system into overdrive.
