Wine is an essential part of the dining table. How can we avoid getting drunk and damaging our liver? Is there a quick way to sober up and protect our liver when drinking? To be direct, "sobering up and protecting the liver" is not as effective as "quitting drinking and protecting the liver". Since we are talking about sobering up and protecting the liver, here are some simple and practical methods for everyone to consider:
1. Fruits and vegetables to sober up
Eating fruits and vegetables after drinking is a good dietary therapy for sobering up. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B group, fructose, and glucose, which can act as lubricants during alcohol metabolism and protect the liver.
Pear sobering up method: Eat a few pears or peel and slice the pear, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, eat the pear and drink the water, which can help to sober up.
Watermelon sobering up method: Watermelon contains abundant water and vitamin C. Watermelon juice can relieve the fever caused by alcohol consumption. Watermelon has a cooling effect and can accelerate the elimination of alcohol through urine.
White radish juice sobering up method: Take fresh white radish, wash and juice it, slightly heat it up and drink a cup each time, repeat every 10 minutes, and three times can help eliminate the alcohol smell.
Chinese cabbage heart sobering up method: Take out the heart of a Chinese cabbage and shred it, mix it with a small amount of sugar and white vinegar, marinate it for three to five minutes, and consume it. It has an excellent sobering up effect.
2. Chinese herbal medicine for sobering up and protecting the liver
Sobering up with sour jujube and kudzu root: Take 10-15 grams of sour jujube and kudzu root, decoct them together, and consume it. It has a good effect of sobering up, cooling, and diuresis.
Use 25-50 milliliters of aged vinegar (brewed vinegar, not distilled vinegar), 25 grams of brown sugar, and 3 slices of ginger, decoct them in water, and consume it. The organic acids in vinegar can neutralize the ethanol in alcohol, thus reducing the concentration of ethanol and alleviating the damage to the liver caused by alcohol.
