In daily life, some people are used to drinking a cup of coffee after drinking, thinking that "good wine and coffee" can sober up. "in fact, it is not suitable to drink coffee after drinking." Chongqing nutrition experts say that after drinking alcohol, alcohol is quickly absorbed by the digestive system, then enters the blood circulation system, and then affects the gastrointestinal tract, heart, liver and kidney, brain and endocrine system, among which the brain suffers the most directly and seriously. If you drink coffee immediately after drinking, it will turn the brain from extreme inhibition to extreme excitement, speed up blood circulation, increase cardiovascular burden, and even cause more damage to the human body than drinking itself.

"within 30-60 minutes of drinking liquor and within 1-3 hours of drinking wine, the free alcohol content in the human body will reach the maximum. Do not drink coffee during this period." Chongqing nutrition experts say the best way to relieve drunken headaches is to drink honey water, because honey contains fructose, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and increase the level of glucose in the blood. In addition, tomato juice is also rich in fructose, and eating tomatoes after drinking can also play a role in sober up. (reporter Cheng Zhengjun)

Avoid tea after drinking

Many people like to drink strong tea after drinking, and they think that a cup of strong tea after drinking has the effect of relieving alcohol and improving health. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. In the theory of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that the taste of wine is pungent, first into the skin of the lungs and lungs, and the appearance of the lungs and large intestines. Drinking alcohol should take the nature of rising yang and diverging, so that the yang qi rises, the lung qi is stronger, and the circulation of qi and blood is promoted. Tea taste bitter, belong to yin, the main health, if drinking tea will drive alcohol in the kidney. The kidney dominates water, and the water is warm, wet and dry, so it forms cold stagnation. Cold stagnation leads to frequent turbid urination, impotence, testicular pain, dry stool and other diseases.

Modern medicine confirms this through the biochemical changes of tea drinkers after drinking alcohol. After drinking alcohol, ethanol enters the blood through the gastrointestinal tract and is converted into acetaldehyde and acetic acid in the liver, which is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. While drinking tea, theophylline in tea can quickly play a diuretic effect on the kidney, thus promoting the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely. Acetaldehyde is a harmful substance which has great irritation to the kidney. The kidney does not have this detoxification function, so it will affect renal function, and people who often drink strong tea after drinking alcohol are prone to kidney disease. Not only that, the alcohol in the wine is very stimulating to the cardiovascular system, and the concentration also has the effect of stimulating the heart, the two are combined into one, and the two-pronged approach enhances the stimulation to the heart, so drinking tea after drinking alcohol in patients with heart disease is more harmful.

Three kinds of rest positions to be avoided after drinking

It is inevitable to have a few more drinks at the gathering of relatives and friends. However, from past experience, many people have become tragedies because they do not know how to rest correctly after getting drunk.

Drunkenness is generally an abnormal state in which the central nervous system is excited and then inhibited because of excessive drinking. if you take an incorrect posture to rest, you are likely to have symptoms such as dyspnea. In severe cases, it can also lead to respiratory and circulatory failure and even life-threatening. In particular, the following three postures should not be taken by drunken people.

Supine position:

This is the position usually taken by drunken people. Drunken people tend to vomit, but the pharyngeal reflex and swallowing movements of drunken people are relatively slow. If the drunken person lies on his back, then the vomit is likely to flow back into the trachea, resulting in aspiration. Mild cases cause aspiration pneumonia, severe cases can lead to tracheal blockage and asphyxiation to death.

Prone position:

Most of the drunken people are in a coma, the muscles of the whole body are relaxed and weak, and the supporting force of changing posture is greatly weakened. Prone position when the mouth and nose down, often buried in the quilt or soft pillow, resulting in mouth, nose breathing channel is not smooth. In addition, the respiratory center of the deeply drunk is inhibited in varying degrees, the respiratory movement is greatly weakened, and the body gravity presses the chest and abdomen, which further restricts the breathing. The above many factors may lead to insufficient inhalation of air, make the body lack of oxygen, and further aggravate the coma after drunkenness.

Seats:

Due to the inhibition of internal circulation and the weakening of cardiovascular reflex regulation, vomiting and sweating can make the body lose a lot of water, and the intravascular blood volume is relatively insufficient, which can easily lead to hypotension and shock. When the blood pressure is low, the sitting position is not conducive to the blood supply of the brain and the blood flow of the lower body, resulting in a more insufficient blood volume and further reducing the blood supply of the heart, brain, kidney and other important vital organs.

Correct posture:

For drunks, it is more important to maintain correct posture and prevent serious complications caused by improper posture after drunkenness. Therefore, we suggest: first of all, we should untie the tie, buckle and belt of the drunken person, lift the lower jaw, tilt the head back, and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed; then take the lateral position to facilitate the drainage of vomit and prevent asphyxia caused by accidental inhalation of the trachea. Finally, once the drunken person has a dangerous situation, family or friends should promptly send the drunken person to the nearest hospital for treatment.
