5 No-Hangover Tips for Healthier Drinking
Healthier Ways to Drink Socially
1. Hydrate the right way before, during and after. Pedialyte and sports drinks are not miracle beverages. The best way to hydrate is plain old H2O water. And don't forget that healthy food is also a great source of the water, vitamins and minerals needed to recover from dehydration. A beverage with added electrolyte minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous) can also be helpful before bed and upon waking the next morning. We like Ultima, which is a sugar-free natural powder stick that you can mix with water to help replace the electrolytes.
2. A good rule of thumb is to have a pre-grame meal. There's a reason why it's a tradition in the Mediterranean to chug a shot of olive oil before going out drinking. Gross as it may sound, the healthy fats slow down alcohol absorption, giving your liver more time to cope. Choose foods loaded with natural detoxifiers like L-Glutathione, B vitamins, electrolytes and healthy fats. Snacking on carbs also seems to help a lot too.
3. Choose drinks wisely. Any alcoholic drink can give you a hangover. Avoid excess sugars, which make hangovers worse. Stick to one kind of drink for the night (or 2 at most). Lighter colored liquor drinks can be better because they have fewer congeners. Liquor before beer. Avoid your "cryptonite". You know what it is, so if it makes you feel bad, don't drink it!
4. Flame off. Alcohol causes an incredible amount of inflammation in our bodies. Battle inflammation with natural herbal solutions, such as Ibuactin. Some people take OTC pain medications like aspirin or ibuprofen. While these can be highly effective, they put too much stress on the stomach and liver for our taste.
5. Dr. Ethanol & Mr. Aldehyde is a fun little play on words, but it illustrates one of the most important factors: the "Hangover Toxin" from alcohol, known as Acetaldehyde, is up to 30X more toxic than the beer wine or liquor you originally drank. Side effects of the toxin include nausea, headache and vomiting. Ding, ding, ding! Sounds like a hangover. Acetaldhyde is the reason that it takes so long to feel better because our livers have to recover the ability to break it down before we can feel better. Good news! Products containing a clinical amount of Japanese Raisin (DHM) help the body with the specific liver enzymes needed. Our product Intox-Detox contains both Japanese Raisin and Setria L-Glutathione, both proven to help protect the liver and avoid the misery of the next morning. They do it by improving liver detox and helping to neutralize the damaging Acetaldehyde.
Hangovers Get Worse as We Age, Even When We Drink Responsibly.
Intox-Detox is a multi-tasker for your whole body because it protects even as it helps you detox.
Is there a social drinker out there who has not experience the DREADED HANGOVER at least once or twice? "The whole idea of Intox-Detox, is to be preemptive. Don't wait until the toxins build up and the damage is already done.” says Intox-Detox CEO/Founder Andy Bennett, a supplement industry insider and obsessed researcher of dietary supplements that use real science to improve health . Check out the top three products from Intox-Detox below...
"The mission of the company is to help health-conscious social drinkers maintain the delicate balance between staying healthy and living life to the fullest. Over four years ago, we set the bar for the industry by encouraging people to supplement with natural, safe and proven ingredients that proactively attack the toxins from alcohol and help protect the body at the same time," says Bennett.
In the recent outstanding novel by Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall "Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure", the prevailing message is that it's what you do before and during drinking alcohol that most affects how you feel the next day. Bennett believes in balance and combining the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the ground-breaking emerging science of supplements.
People are not going to stop enjoying alcohol socially, so let's get ahead of the problem and help them to do it in a healthier way, with less damage to their bodies and a way to bounce back so that tomorrow can be a positive and productive new chapter.
The product comes in a few different sizes, depending on the occasion. Single serving packs are convenient and travel well. The new best value bottles cut costs by eliminating packaging and pass the savings on to the customer.
Intox-Detox contains two safe, effective and clinically-proven all-natural ingredients: Japanese Raisin Extract (standardized for DHM, which has recently made headlines) and patented Setria L-Glutathione.
Japanese Raisin is a super food ingredient that naturally contains DHM or dihydromyricetin, which studies reveal helps protect the liver and eliminate alcohol's toxins. The herb has been recognized in the Eastern world as a liver tonic for centuries. In recent years, the science is catching up with Traditional Medicine to confirm the many benefits. In addition to liver health, Japanese Raisin may balance the body, help fight stress and even boost athletic performance.
Setria L-Glutathione is a patented ingredient that is clinically-proven to boost the body's levels of the "Master Antioxidant" L-Glutathione. Aside from being present in every cell of the body, Glutathione is a powerful detoxifying substance that eliminates free radical toxins. It plays a very important role in the liver, acting to eliminate that "Hangover Toxin" Acetaldehyde, which comes from drinking alcohol. This amazing ingredient also detoxifies major organs, enhances immune function and delivers anti-aging benefits.
"Intox-Detox is a premium product," says Bennett, but it won't break the bank either. All quantities sell between $15 and $50 on their website. Bennett's no-nonsense sales pitch: "For less than the price of a drink at any bar in America, you can help neutralize all the ones you will have for the night. Hell, for less than your bar tab for the evening, you could pick up enough Intox-Detox for you and a few friends."
He also offers a quick disclaimer that Intox-Detox does not prevent intoxication and it has a dose dependency. Their site refers to this as a "Pro Tip": the more you drink, the more Intox-Detox is needed. One suggested protocol is a serving of Intox-Detox every 4 to 6 strong drinks, with no further benefit being derived from more than 3 servings. And it goes without saying that there is a point where nothing can help you. "The product is for responsible drinking. It works amazingly to that end, but should never be used as a 'get out of jail free card' or excuse for binge drinking. The goal should always be balance in all things," says Bennett.
As the story goes, Bennett hit the wall in his mid-20's and started to experience worse hangovers. It's no secret that we don't bounce back as well, the more we age. He set out to find a product that would help and there was nothing on the market good enough.
"We literally took on one of the civilized world's oldest problems. And happy to say that we won." says Bennett.
After developing the product and sharing it with the close members of his Irish family, it was obvious they had developed something special, according to Bennett.
“I could tell from the first time I took Intox-Detox that we were on to something special. But the first time I gave it to my mom (now a business partner), her response was classic: How much money do you need?"
Over four years in business, claiming scores of happy customers and samplers, Intox-Detox is now developing new products like a daily liver support formula called Liverstrong, an all-natural energy drink with their herbal blend and even a line of protect-while-you-drink craft beers.
