Hangover is a painful condition. Symptoms such as headache, disgust, and fatigue often affect work and life the next day. However, experts point out that simple diet adjustments may effectively reduce the inappropriate feeling of hangovers.

Doctors suggest "take cheese before drinking"

Neena Chandrasekaran, a doctor specializing in lung health and critical medical studies, recently shared a video on TikTok about the impact of eating cheese before drinking may help reduce hangovers. This video has attracted more than 3 million views, and many netizens are surprised by this and welcome this interesting solution.

According to his statement, cheese is rich in protein and fat, and can form a protective membrane in the stomach to reduce the speed at which alcohol is absorbed by the body. In this way, alcohol does not enter the blood circulation quickly, giving the liver more time to decompose, thereby reducing the accumulation of hangover-causing toxins — — acetaldehyde (acetaldehyde) in the body.

In addition, cheese can also supplement important nutrients lost during drinking, such as vitamin B groups and calcium. Vitamin B population is important for maintaining energy relief and neural system health, while calcification helps maintain normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Therefore, proper feeding of cheese can not only relieve the inappropriateness of alcohol, but also supplement the loss of body to a certain extent.

The view of doctor Neena Chandrasekaran is not without scientific basis. According to a Korean study in 2023, some cheeses contain specific probiotics, which can enhance the enzyme activity of the liver to decompose acetaldehyde, accelerate its elimination, and reduce the inappropriateness of hangovers.

Causes of hangover

1. Acetaldehyde accumulation: When the body relies on alcohol, it will first be converted into acetaldehyde. This is a substance that is more toxic than alcohol and can cause symptoms such as nausea, headache, and palpitations.

2. Removal: Alcohol has a diuretic effect and will accelerate the discharge of water in the body, making people prone to symptoms such as thirst and headache.

3. Electrolysis quality imbalance: With the loss of water, the electrolysis quality of the body, such as the inner cord and the body, will also decrease, affecting muscle and neural functions.

4. Decreased sleep quality: Although alcohol may make people fall asleep faster, it can affect deep sleep and lead to poor mental health the next day.

How to reduce the impact of hangovers?

Keep moisture: While drinking, add more water or drinks containing electrolytic acid to help the body maintain moisture balance.

Avoid drinking on an empty stomach: Alcohol absorbs faster on an empty stomach, which can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations and hangovers to add dramas. Therefore, it is recommended to eat appropriately before drinking.

Choose lighter wines: Dark wines (such as red wine, whiskey) contain more complex substances and may aggravate hangover symptoms.

Control drink volume: The most fundamental way is to drink appropriately. According to the recommendations of the National Health Service (NHS), the amount of drinks per week should not exceed 14 units (about six glasses of wine or six-grade beer).

Although the best health advice is to be appropriate or not to drink, cheese may be a "hangover preventive snack" worth trying if you want to have a drink. Whether it is a pizza, cheese or a cheese platter with red wine, these delicious choices will not only add flavor to the gathering, but may also invisibly reduce the inappropriateness of a light hangover. Before drinking next time, you may consider ordering cheese first to make your body more relaxed in the impact on alcohol!
