What is the principle of hangover? Maybe you've read some hangover articles, but do you really understand how the various methods actually cure alcohol? The main component of liquor is ethanol, and according to the metabolic characteristics of ethanol in the body, the mechanism of hangover can be divided into two methods: inhibiting gastrointestinal absorption and enhancing ethanol metabolism.
Inhibition of gastrointestinal absorption: This hangover mechanism reduces the concentration of ethanol in the blood by inhibiting the absorption of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing the damage of ethanol to the body.
Enhance ethanol metabolism: This hangover mechanism directly acts on the liver metabolic enzyme system, accelerating the elimination rate of ethanol and its metabolites, and reducing its damage to body tissues and cells.
