 There are never-ending stream of articles and videos about how to fix your hangover. But how come they keep coming out and there's no cure? Well, here's what we experimented with and found out. Hey, there, njroute22.com here with another kind of health vlog. And this is like a human guinea pig experiment that I want to share with everyone. It's regarding hangovers. Now, disclaimer here. This isn't medical advice. This is what I did and you're free to do whatever you want, just consult your doctor or whatever before you do anything or take any supplements like we're about to recommend or that we have taken. We're not recommending anything. I hate legal damn disclaimers because no one understands that, like no one's forcing you to put things in your mouth. But anyway, so it's regarding the whole big hangover thing. Everybody's always talking about hangovers. Try these 10 tips for a hangover. Do this and do that. And one of the big age-old remedies or suggestions is water. Drink a lot of water. Drink a lot of water. And we've tried that in the past and it never really worked for us. I guess maybe it made the hangover a little bit better, but it never really got rid of the hangover altogether. And of course, all of this is individual and independent of each other because some people drink, it depends on what you drink and what you eat and how much you weigh and what kind of things you drink, beer, wine, hard liquor, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But let me try and get to the point here. Everybody's hangover in the morning or depending on when you wake up is different. Some people throw up and they have pounding headaches, which I believe headaches are the result of dehydration. That's my belief. And then there's just general queasiness or some people get nauseous. I generally, my hangover for the record is just uneasiness and not anxiety, not mental anxiety, but I'm just kind of like, eh, not at ease with myself. And then it goes away after a few hours and they say time is the only thing that can cure a hangover. But I disagree with that because I've been experimenting a little bit. And one of the remedies you'll read, which is partially true, is replenish your electrolytes. And I'm starting to believe that the lack or reduction in your, what do you call it, electrolytes in your body is probably one of the reasons I get what I call a hangover. And they say, oh, drink a Gatorade. And I looked up the nutritional information on a Gatorade and like it has some salt, sodium and it's probably not good salt, it's not sea salt. And potassium and maybe something else, magnesium, but it's only like 1% of the recommended daily allowance. And that's another thing that, a story from the other day, are the recommended daily allowances purposely too low so that people can't fix them. And I've read, you know, you read scarce stories, like for instance with potassium, the dose is 99 milligrams. And I believe they do that so that people don't, you can't overdose on it. But I've also read some other books that said that the dosage for potassium is way too low. So and I've read I think one of my low carb books, instead of taking one 99 gram pill a day, milligram pill a day, take five in the morning or whatever. But I started experimenting and I always go over the dose with these vitamins and you do so at your own risk. But you know, they came up with the electrolyte drink to help athletes. I think it was somewhere in Florida, the Florida Gators, that's why it came up, they have the name Gatorade. But I don't think, you know, like when you sweat and you're working out, you lose electrolytes through your sweat glands and so on. The same thing is true about drinking because you're replacing your fluids by urinating. And that's probably the concept behind replacing your electrolytes. But what we started doing and what worked for us is giving our, taking our electrolytes, but not at these micro doses that like a Gatorade will give you, but higher doses. And there's like a whole bunch of electrolytes. You can see in the article, there's magnesium, there's potassium, sodium. And then there's phosphorus or phosphate, collate, calcium, and then maybe one or two others. But I focused in on the salt, which is sea salt because it has about 80 or more, 85 other minerals and electrolytes inside the salt. Whereas regular ordinary salt, which is just sodium, is probably, they stripped all the other minerals out. And we don't, we don't know why. We think maybe it's some sort of conspiracy to use those, sell those other minerals to other people or other businesses. And magnesium and potassium. I think potassium is one of the things that's deplenished, deplenished, depleted. And this is why you'll see often like the morning after drink, a Bloody Mary, which is tomato juice and a, and what do you call those screwdrivers, orange juice and vodka. But those ingredients have a lot of potassium in them. And that may be part of the reason why people drink them because they make you feel better. So what I did during my drinking, let's say on my Friday night at seven o'clock I start drinking. First of all, I make sure that regardless if I'm drinking or not, that every day I take a little mound of sea salt and I lick it. And I just give myself the sea salt. And I always feel better. I mean, having been, read the book Salt Your Way to Health and then, and you'll understand. But I'll eat a mound full of salt and during my drink, let's say halfway through drinking. And I haven't sorted it out yet, exactly the method. So this isn't your remedy and that you should try. This is what's been working for me. But since you replenish your fluids all night, I'll maybe either start the night or halfway through the night, I'll take a dose of magnesium, potassium and a mound full of salt. And then before bed, let's say after my last drink, I'll take another round of potassium, magnesium and sodium. And then I'll naturally drink water too because your body needs hydration to, to put these compounds in motion. But I have to say that after a few weeks of experimenting with adding these electrolytes to my body, not in a small dose, but in an equal or higher than the RDA dose, my hangovers have been almost nonexistent. It's amazing. Maybe you'll still have that first half hour of grogginess, which is a result of being tired and worn out from the poor night of sleep that drinking alcohol gives you. But I have to say my recovery in the morning, of course you take these in the morning as well, has been profoundly better. So I think what a lot of people are afraid of is going over the dose. And I'm not afraid. I assume all the risk for taking more than anybody tells me to take. I'm experimenting with myself to see what works. And these three electrolytes seem to be making a big impact on how I feel the next day after drinking. And of course, like I said, a million different variables of your body weight, how much hydration you have, what kind of things you're drinking or eating. But the pain I have from drinking too much is almost eradicated with supplementing with a good enough amount of electrolyte. So give that a shot. If you want, do it at your own risk. This is not medical advice, but it certainly worked for me. And maybe one day I can stumble upon an honest, blind, controlled study, double blind study where people, and they did those sorts of mechanical analysis of what's happening. But I think that's for me what has been the hangover. And I think replenishing these electrolytes has gone a long way in helping me. So that's it. You do it again at your own risk. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching. Have a good weekday. I don't remember when I published these. That's what I say. You know what? Thanks for watching.
