Dr. Yang Ziqi
To alleviate discomfort caused by alcohol consumption, you can drink the following beverages:
1. **Honey water**: Contains abundant glucose and fructose, which can promote the breakdown of alcohol in the body and help relieve symptoms such as headache and fatigue caused by drinking.
2. **Milk and yogurt**: Rich in protein, they can form a protective layer on the surface of the gastric mucosa, delaying the absorption of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract. They also accelerate the filtration of alcohol through the glomerulus, promoting faster elimination of alcohol from the body.
3. **Fruit juices**: Such as apple juice, pear juice, grape juice, and orange juice. The fructose in these juices helps break down alcohol, while the high water content has a diuretic effect, accelerating alcohol excretion.
4. **Vegetable juices**: Such as celery juice, tomato juice, and cucumber juice. These juices have a cooling nature and can help cool the blood and refresh the mind, delaying the intestinal absorption of alcohol.
