We love alcohol for its relaxing and fun effect. But a side effect like a hangover or rapid intoxication will please few people. To make it easier for the body to cope with doses of alcohol, you should learn how to eat properly. Of course, it all depends on the type of alcohol you're drinking, but there are a few foods that can help keep you from getting drunk.

Salo on black bread soaked in olive oil

 

This type of snack is especially good if you have to drink on an empty or half-empty stomach, since it is lard that can “take over” alcohol for a long time. And the lipids contained in olive oil easily remove any toxins. In general, if a long feast is planned, try to use this particular oil for cooking most dishes.

Sauerkraut with cranberries

No wonder it is an almost integral part of any winter feast. Sauerkraut stimulates the digestive system and helps to quickly remove alcohol. Cranberries are rich in vitamin C, which will enable the immune system to cope with the consequences of alcohol libations.

apples with honey

 

This combination will provide you with pectin, fiber and organic acids from the Krebs cycle (they spur the body to process alcohol). All these substances together will speed up the work of the stomach and intestines, and the hangover will pass in a more gentle mode.

Watermelon

 

By itself, a watermelon cut into beautiful slices and served at the table is a wonderful decoration for any holiday or just friendly gatherings. But as a snack, it is especially valued for its diuretic effect, because it is thanks to this action that the products of alcohol processing, and the hop itself, will leave the body faster.

Zucchini baked with hard cheese

An appetizer of zucchini with cheese is a fairly satisfying, but at the same time light dish that will not overload the digestive system. And this is important, because she still has to remove alcohol! Zucchini has a rather strong diuretic effect, which will only help the rapid process of cleansing the body, and baking, as a type of cooking, will help preserve their beneficial properties.

Aspic with parsley

 

Alcohol, entering the body, leads to a decrease in the amount of such a wonderful amino acid as glycine, on which the work of the neural connections of the human nervous system depends. It is aspic or aspic that can make up for the lack of glycine. And parsley not only goes well with it in terms of taste, but also contains a shock dose of antioxidants, which helps to eliminate alcohol.

Strawberries with sour cream

 

Sour cream, like other fermented milk products, is able to quickly cleanse the body of alkaloids. It is not for nothing that in the morning after the feast it is recommended to drink kefir related to it. Strawberries have a diuretic effect and contain the previously mentioned acids from the Krebs cycle.

Shrimps with cucumbers and celery

 

Shrimps contain a sufficient amount of trace elements to make up for their lack in the body due to the effects of alcohol. And cucumbers and celery are rich in coarse fiber, which stimulates the intestines and reduces the absorption of alkaloids and other toxins into the blood.
