Soda lemon can help to put an end to the postmates of a hangover, says the study

Chinese research indicates that the drink can accelerate the metabolization of alcohol, reducing the symptoms of the following day.

A survey conducted by the Sun Yat-Sen University in China suggests that lemon drinks can help relieve the symptoms of the postmates of the hangover. The study, published in the magazine “Food and Function”, indicates that this type of drink accelerates the metabolization of alcohol in the body, reducing the permanence time of Acetaldehyde in the body – a chemical responsible for the discomfort of the postmates of a hangover, as headache and nausea.

The process occurs because the ethanol, when ingested, is converted into acetaldehyde by the enzymatic alcohol dehydrogenase (adh). So this substance is transformed into acetate, a less toxic form from the action of the enzyme of aldeide dehydrogenase (ALDH). The problem is in the time when acetaldehyde remains in the body before being eliminated, prolonging the symptoms of the postmates of a hangover.

Scientists analyzed 57 drinks to evaluate their influence on the activity of these enzymes. Hemp tea, for example, was counterproductive, since it increased the conversion of the anecaldehyde, but inhibited the action of ALDH, slowing down its elimination. On the other hand, the lemon gassified soda, like sprites, had the opposite effect, accelerating the decomposition of Acetaldehyde and minimizing the symptoms of the postmates of a hangover.

Although the results are promising, experts warn that further studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of these non -alcoholic beverages in the fight against hangover. Professor Edzard Ernst of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom underlined in an interview with the “world of chemistry” website according to which herbs and supplements can have both beneficial and harmful effects and that the moderation in alcohol consumption The best strategy remains to avoid discomfort on the next day.
