What is best hangover cure
The best natural hangover cures
now as we all get ready to kick off 2018
with a big party we've got the best
cures just in case you get a little too
carried away on new year's eve dr. Jen
Ashton joins us live from Boston with a
look at the latest hangover remedies
doctor good morning to you happy early
so just walk us through before we start
here on the cures what happens to the
body when we're hungover well Dan you
know medically we don't totally
understand what causes a hangover but we
definitely understand that feeling very
unpleasant the leading theories
dehydration electrolyte abnormalities
there can be some gastrointestinal
disturbances low blood sugar obviously
your sleep is disrupted when you take in
too much alcohol all of this adds up to
not a good feeling yeah you just
basically describe college for me well
if you wake up on January first and you
realize you have overdone it what is the
number one thing to do call me I will
make a house call number two hydration
hydration hydration there's been some
theories that for every 250 milliliters
of mixed alcohol that you consume your
body loses a liter of free water so I
can't emphasize this enough before you
go to bed try to drink a liter of water
it will definitely help how you feel the
next day there's no question there are
also some newer trendier so-called cures
out there can you walk us through which
one which ones may actually do some good
right so I think we have them in front
of you I sent them to you from Boston
one of them is borage oil or you can say
borage oil depending on your accent it's
starflower there have been some studies
versus placebo that it can help if you
take it before you go to drink
same thing with Korean pear juice I just
like the sound of that it sounds exotic
it probably tastes delicious
it can help cut good I'm glad and then
pickle juice that's been out there for a
long time as the Matt are you drinking
the oh my god I listen it people say it
hydrates you well I think it is nasty
but do whatever works for you at the end
of the day
steroidal 'he's like ibuprofen they're
really really gonna help i will caution
people watch acetaminophen that's
tylenol that can affect the liver so you
don't want to mix that after a heavy
night a drink and of course the number
one cure is to drink in moderation dr.
