Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production and leads to dehydration.
2. Toxic
compounds: Alcohol is broken down into toxic compounds like acetaldehyde,
which can cause damage to tissues and organs.
3. Inflammation:
Alcohol triggers inflammation in the body, leading to symptoms like pain,
nausea, and fatigue.
4. Electrolyte
imbalance: Alcohol can disrupt the balance of essential electrolytes like
potassium, sodium, and magnesium.

Unique Tips to Prevent Hangovers
1. Hydrate with coconut water: Coconut water is rich in electrolytes, including potassium, sodium, and magnesium. Drinking coconut water before and after consuming alcohol can help replenish lost electrolytes and reduce dehydration.
2. Take
a B-complex supplement: B vitamins, particularly thiamine, riboflavin, and
pyridoxine, can help alleviate hangover symptoms. Take a B-complex
supplement before bed to help your body recover.
3. Eat a
hangover-fighting snack: Certain foods like bananas (rich in potassium),
avocados (rich in healthy fats), and eggs (rich in cysteine) can
help alleviate hangover symptoms. Eat one of these snacks before bed or the
next morning to help your body recover.
4. Try
the "1:1 ratio": For every drink you consume, drink one glass
of water. This will help you stay hydrated and reduce the risk of
dehydration.

mixing drinks: Mixing different types of drinks can increase the risk of
hangover. Stick to one type of drink, and avoid mixing drinks with congeners
(substances produced during fermentation).

enough sleep: Lack of sleep can exacerbate hangover symptoms. 7-8 hours
of sleep after a night of drinking.

herbal remedies: Certain herbs like ginger, peppermint have anti-inflammatory
properties that may help alleviate hangover symptoms.
