China’s wine culture has a long history. Whether gathering with friends or family, happy or sad moments, drinking is common. Moderate drinking indeed brings certain health benefits to the body. However, excessive drinking can harm the body. There are also things that one tends not to do after drinking to minimize alcohol-related harm. Men should aim to do these 4 things after drinking, which can make your liver feel better! Let’s explore them below.
Regardless of gender, these 4 things should be done after drinking to make your liver feel better!
Avoid sleeping immediately after drinking: Many people tend to lie down and sleep after drinking, and family members may advise them to rest. However, it is not advisable to sleep right after drinking, as it can increase the risk of developing alcoholic liver disease. The body needs to metabolize alcohol through the liver after drinking. If you sleep immediately, the metabolism slows down, which can increase liver damage and the possibility of developing alcoholic liver disease.
So, it’s better to take a short walk after drinking, wait for about 20 to 30 minutes before going to bed. This may help reduce liver damage. Additionally, if you go to sleep after drinking, try to sleep on your side and avoid lying on your back to prevent choking in case of vomiting, which can be a risk after drinking. If you are drunk, it’s better to sleep on your side.
Avoid bathing immediately after drinking: Many people have the habit of taking a hot bath after drinking to wake up a bit before going to bed. However, it’s not advisable to bathe immediately after drinking because alcohol metabolism is ongoing, and taking a bath might affect blood vessels, increasing the risk of drunkenness, which can lead to unconsciousness or even sudden death.
Avoid taking sobering-up medicine after drinking: Many people may feel uncomfortable after drinking, experiencing headaches and nausea. They might choose to take sobering-up medicine, which can help relieve symptoms. However, when alcohol and medicine interact, it can have negative effects on the body. Therefore, it’s better to drink plenty of water after drinking instead of taking sobering-up medicine, and try to avoid drinking tea.
Avoid intense exercise after drinking: Immediately after drinking, avoid engaging in vigorous physical activity. Even if you have only had a little alcohol, wait until it dissipates before exercising. Intense exercise right after drinking can accelerate blood circulation, leading to alcohol entering the bloodstream and reaching other organs, which is detrimental to health. Therefore, it’s not recommended to engage in intense exercise after drinking. Instead, opt for a light walk, as it can also help with sobering up.
