  • Hangover Cures That Work
    Picture courtesy www.funnypictureoftheday.net Hangover Cures That Work “How come if alcohol kills millions of brain cells, it never killed the ones that made me want to drink?” ~Author Unknown “When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.” – Author Unknown What caused your hangover? Your liver is unable to quickly enough process and break down the by-products of alcohol. Water is necessary to aid the process; lack of water forces the liver to take water from other organs, even the brain. No wonder you wake up with a throbbing headache! It follows therefore that drinking water is essential in combating a hangover… Picture credited to moronsareeverywhere.com A bit late for this advice unfortunately, and so, here you are, stuck with a mother of a hangover you don’t deserve (really?). If I come across as hard, cold and VERY unsympathetic, I guess you’re right. I don’t drink at all you see, and as such I cannot really relate too much to your hangover misery. Then again, it’s your own fault since you either never learned when to stop drinking or at least how to prevent a hangover. And now…well I’m sure “the morning after the night before” is just about killing you… “I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day” ~Frank Sinatra Typical symptoms of a hangover include fatigue, weakness, thirst, headaches, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, decreased deep sleep, vertigo, sensitivity to light and sound, decline in attention and concentration, anxiety, irritability, depression, tremor, sweating, increase in pulse.

  • Wisconsin Folklore and Folklife Society Which Has Excellent Promise
    FOLKLORE Walker D. Wyman Acknowledgement Unive rsity of Wisconsin-Extension· is especially indebted to Dr. Loren Robin­ son of the Department of J ournali sm, University of Wisconsin, River Fall s, and lo Leon Zaborowski, Universit y Extension, River Falls, for the initial concept of a series of articles on Wisconsin fo lklore, published through daily and weekly newspa­ pe rs in Wisconsin. It was from those articles by Walker Wyman that this book was developed. The contribution of the va rious newspapers which ca rried the articles is also gratefully acknowledged. A Grass Roots Book Copyright © 1979 by Unive r sity of Wisconsin Boar d of Regents All r ight s r eserved Libra ry of Congress Catalog Ca rd Number 79-65323 Published by University of Wisconsin-Extension Department of Arts Development. Price: $4.95 ii Foreword The preparation of a book on folklore to be published by the University Exten­ sion is a major event. There has been, for many years, strong sentiment that the University of Wisconsi n ought to take a more dynamic interest in folklore, and that eventually, academic work in that subject should be established on many of the cam­ puses. So far only the Universities at Eau C laire, River Falls, and at Stevens Point have formal courses. The University at M adison has never had an y such course though informal interest has been strongly present. The University at R iver Falls has developed, through the activities and interests of Dr. Walker W yman, a publish­ ing program which has produced several books of regional fol klore.

  • The Elusive Hangover Cure
    Published on British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre (BC DPIC) ( http://www.dpic.org) Home > Printer-friendly PDF > Printer-friendly PDF The elusive hangover cure Access: professional Article type: drug information Recently the news reported that the best remedy for a hangover is common soft drink. This was, however, only a hypothesis based the in vitro finding of accelerated metabolism of ethanol and its toxic product, acetaldehyde.1 With winter holidays approaching, pharmacists are likely to encounter patients seeking relief from alcohol overindulgence. Veisalgia - aka hangover A hangover can mean any of a constellation of unpleasant signs and symptoms that occur when the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) falls. It usually begins 6 to 8 hours after consumption of an intoxicating amount of alcohol, peaks when the BAC reaches zero, and lasts about 24 hours.2 There is no consensus on what constitutes a hangover.2-5 In the largest survey of hangover symptoms, fatigue was the most common symptom (reported by almost 96%), followed by thirst, drowsiness, sleepiness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, weakness, reduced alertness and concentration problems (symptoms reported by at least 75%).5 They were usually the most severe symptoms too, in addition to vomiting, apathy, and reduced appetite. The pathophysiology of hangovers is not fully understood. During hangovers there are a number of abnormalities - dehydration, pH and electrolyte imbalance, hypoglycemia, sleep disturbances; alteration in hormones including serotonin, histamine, prostaglandins and cytokines; and inflammation such as gastric irritation.2-5 There is no clear correlation between these abnormalities and symptoms.- "no two hangovers are the same".6 The relative role of ethanol, its metabolite acetaldehyde, congeners (other alcohols and organic compounds produced during fermentation or introduced during beverage production), co-exposures such as tobacco smoke, other substances, and dancing is also unclear.

  • The Anti-Aging Kitchen
    Perr_0345492455_2p_app_r1.v.qxp 9/18/06 4:32 PM Page 181 appendix A The Anti-aging Kitchen hen it comes to food and anti-aging, convenience is a concept that cuts both ways.Yes, it makes our lives easier in many ways. It saves us time. It gets us out of the kitchen when we might prefer to be Wdoing other things. And often, it tastes really good—even though we know it’s really bad for us. However, when we take a closer look at convenience foods— those that are packaged or frozen or come from fast-food outlets and even many restaurants—we begin to realize that convenience may be doing us more harm than good. This is because it is both cheaper and easier for food processors and makers of restaurant and fast-food meals to use many ingredients that are detrimental to our health. In fact, one may question whether they even deserve to be classified as food in the first place, since they were created in the laboratory and do not exist in nature (e.g., high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated 181 Perr_0345492455_2p_app_r1.v.qxp 9/18/06 4:32 PM Page 182 dr. perricone’s 7 secrets to beauty, health, and longevity fats, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavor enhancers, whipped food top- pings). In addition, not only are the prevailing cooking methods in fast- food outlets (such as deep frying) dangerous because of the high levels of unhealthy fats that they produce but also the excessively high heats used to fry carbohydrates produce toxic by-products such as acryl- amide (a chemical with a variety of industrial uses).
