After drinking alcohol, it is absorbed directly in the stomach and does not enter the small intestine. The metabolism of alcohol needs detoxification in the liver and then excreted by the kidney, which requires energy participation. As an energy substance, glucose can provide energy for alcohol (ethanol) metabolism on the one hand, and promote the discharge of ethanol on the other.
After glucose supplementation, human blood sugar rises and blood volume increases, which can accelerate the excretion of body fluids through the urine of the kidney. At the same time, the liver needs a lot of energy to metabolize alcohol, and the energy provided by glucose can help the liver accelerate alcohol catabolism. Of course, drinking a lot of alcohol when the body is short of energy leads to low blood sugar in the body, and proper glucose supplementation can correct hypoglycemia.
Extended data
First, hangover food
1, ginger
Eating ginger after drinking can stimulate and restore the digestive system and relieve discomfort such as constipation, flatulence and indigestion.
2. Tomato juice
After drinking, the liver is responsible for decomposing alcohol to keep blood sugar stable. Blood sugar is the main energy source of the brain. Low blood sugar can easily lead to fatigue, fatigue and depression. At this time, drinking a glass of tomato juice can supplement sugar and relieve headaches after drunkenness. Lycopene in tomato juice also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Step 3: bananas
After drinking too much, the body cells lack water, urinate too much, and the blood potassium level drops, which easily leads to muscle weakness and high blood pressure. At this time, eating 1~3 bananas can supplement potassium, increase blood sugar concentration and reduce the proportion of alcohol in blood.
Second, the precautions for drinking and preventing drunkenness
1. Drink 100ml milk before drinking.
Be sure to protect the liver and gastric mucosa before drinking. If you drink on an empty stomach, the gastrointestinal tract and liver will not be protected, which will do great harm to your body and make you more likely to get drunk. Milk can not only slow down the absorption rate of alcohol, but also protect the gastric mucosa from irritation. You don't need to drink too much at a time, and drinking about 100 ml of milk can play a role.
Don't mix soda when drinking.
In the process of drinking, some people are used to mixing soda water or drinking coke in order to dilute alcohol. As we all know, the carbon dioxide contained in soda will stimulate the gastric mucosa and accelerate the absorption of alcohol, which is not only not conducive to hangover, but will aggravate the discomfort of the body.
After being drunk, many people like to drink some strong tea after drinking.
In fact, theophylline in strong tea can cause vasoconstriction and raise blood pressure, which is not a good choice for sober up. Generally speaking, eating some sour fruit can relieve hangover.
