Everyone has their own theories about how to cure a hangover,
many of them acquired from experience.
Pizzas,
hamburgers, Coca-Cola,
water, too much coffee,
a glass of milk to line the stomach,. or a Guronsan before going to bed, anything goes.
However, we all also know that,
regardless of the strategy used,
the discomfort does not disappear altogether.
How then end up with a hangover once and for all?
Further studies showed that a solution exists and, astonishingly,
passes through an innocent pear juice.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization researchers, a scientific research organization
of the Australian
government, found that people who drank 220 milliliters of Asian pear juice before they started drinking alcohol had less or no hangover symptoms the next day.
Of all the signs that follow
a well-watered evening, one in which the juice more help is on the ability to
concentrate.
The drink is also known to have anti-inflammatory
properties, which means that the headache often associated with hangover will substantially calm or even not exist.
The reason behind this phenomenon is unclear, but Manny Noakes, author of the study,
told that the pear juice contains enzymes that speed up metabolism and slowly inhibit the absorption of
alcohol.
Already in 2013 another study indicated results in the same direction.

in the study “Effect of Korean pear(Pyruspyrifolia cv. Shingo) juice on hangover severity following alcohol consumption” published in 2013, summarize it like
this:
“Korean pear has been used as a traditional prophylactic agent for alcohol hangover. However, its mechanism was not investigated in human yet. Therefore, we performed a randomized single blind crossover trial with 14 healthy young men to examine effects of Korean pear juice on alcohol hangover. All subjects consumed 540 ml of spirits (alcohol conc. 20.1 v/v%) after 30 min from the intervention, i.e. placebo or Korean pear juice treatment. Blood and urine specimens were collected in time-courses (9 time-points for 15 h after alcohol consumption). The total and average of hangover severity were alleviated to 16% and 21% by Korean pear juice at 15 h after the alcohol consumption, respectively (...)”
For this home remedy to work, the juice should be taken before you start drinking alcohol - if you take it only when you get home it will not help
much.
And you should pay attention to the
quality of the fruit.
For now there are no studies that show that other species of pears beyond the Asian have the same benefits.
Cheerful nights,
sad mornings
What leads you to have more or less hangover when you drank the same as always?
Nor hangovers, nor people, are all alike,
of course, but it is ungrateful to see someone who drank
the triple that we, wake up fresh.
Then the excuses: I had slept or eaten little, my age is no longer what it was, I didn’t drink for a long time…
But are they to blame?
The hangovers occur due to side effects of the chemicals produced when alcohol is processed.
A study of more than four thousand
twins in Australia
showed that susceptibility to hangovers has a huge genetic component. (Genetic influences on alcohol-related hangover).
Apart from causing inflammation,
alcohol produces a large increase in species of microbes that are
pro-inflammatory in the intestines, stimulating the immune system as if you were the victim of an attack, thus
contributing to your feeling sick,
so common in hangovers.
So you know... Be careful with alcohol…
