Drinking alcohol in moderation can have certain health benefits, but excessive drinking can harm your physical health. And there are also some things you should try to avoid after drinking alcohol, as it may increase the damage alcohol does to your body. After drinking, hope that men can do these 4 things, so that your liver can feel better!
For those who frequently drink, here are 4 things you shouldn’t do to make your “liver” feel better after drinking!
1. After drinking, do not immediately go to sleep, and do not sleep on your back.
Many people, after drinking, will go straight to bed to sleep, and most people say that those who do this have a good tolerance for alcohol. In fact, you should not go to sleep immediately after drinking, as frequently doing so may increase your chances of developing alcoholic liver disease. This is because after drinking, your body metabolizes alcohol, but if you sleep right away, the metabolism rate in your body slows down, which can aggravate liver damage, possibly leading to an increased risk of alcoholic liver disease.
So, after drinking, try to take a short walk, wait about 20-30 minutes before going to bed, to effectively reduce liver damage. When going to bed after drinking, try not to lie on your back, because if you vomit, it could block your airway, causing suffocation and death. So, if someone is drunk, try to make them sleep on their side.
2. Try not to take hangover pills after drinking.
After drinking, many people feel very uncomfortable, especially with symptoms like headaches and nausea, and then choose to take hangover pills. Hangover pills can indeed effectively help you, but remember, all medicines have side effects. When the medication reacts chemically with alcohol, it may have some negative effects on your body. So, after drinking, if you want to quickly get over a hangover, consider drinking more plain water.
3. Do not engage in vigorous exercise after drinking.
If you’ve just finished drinking, avoid engaging in strenuous exercise immediately, even if you’ve only had a little to drink, wait for the alcohol to dissipate before exercising. This is because right after drinking, your body is metabolizing alcohol, and if you engage in heavy exercise, your blood circulation will increase, causing alcohol to enter the bloodstream, transporting it to other organs in the body, which is not good for your health. So, after drinking, avoid vigorous exercise, but you can take a leisurely walk.
4. Do not take a bath immediately after drinking.
Many people want to take a hot bath after drinking to sober up a bit before going to bed. However, you should not bathe immediately after drinking, as the alcohol in your body is metabolizing and breaking down. Taking a bath at this time can stimulate your blood vessels, easily worsening the drunken state, and in severe cases, may even cause unconsciousness.
