Headache, heartburn, nausea, and fatigue are typical symptoms of hangovers.
The cause of hangover is acetaldehyde, which is produced by the decomposition of alcohol in the body.
In the meantime, a famous influencer, a doctor, draws attention by introducing food to avoid hangovers.
Dr. Nina Chandrasekaran, who is active in Florida, said on social media 'TikTok that eating a small amount of cheese as a snack before drinking can reduce hangovers.
She said "Cheese has a lot of protein and fat that can cover the stomach, which reduces alcohol absorption."
Acetaldehyde, which is produced when alcohol is broken down, results in a hangover, and cheese reduces this toxicity of acetaldehyde.
In addition, methionine, an essential amino acid component contained in cheese proteins, is responsible for enhancing liver activity and rapidly breaking down alcohol.
A typical 20g of cheese contains 0.15mg of vitamin B2, 216mg of calcium, and 8.4g of protein. The protein and calcium content are also much higher than beef, pork, and eggs. She explains that eating cheese can supplement these nutrients that are reduced while drinking alcohol.
Even those who cannot drink milk due to their nature can eat cheese without difficulty.
"Of course, it's best not to drink, but if you want to reduce your hangover even a little bit, cheese before drinking would be a good snack," she said.
