When you wake up with a pounding head and cotton-dry mouth the night after one (or a few) too many drinks, you'll likely find yourself Googling ways to get rid of your hangover, fast. And when you do, you may stumble upon a suggestion to throw back some pickle juice.
前一天晚上喝了很多酒之后的你第二天醒来的时候是不是头痛欲裂、口干舌燥?你是不是很想谷歌搜索如何快速摆脱宿醉?如果你的确这么做了,你会发现有人给出的建议是:喝点腌黄瓜汁。
Some claim that pickle brine is the reason Polish people don't get hangovers. Even Dr. Oz has endorsed pickle juice as a hangover cure. According to him, the salts in pickle juice replenish electrolytes that you lose while drinking, which can make your headache disappear. But is getting over a hangover really as easy as taking a swig from the pickle jar in your fridge?
有些人声称:腌黄瓜汁是波兰人不会宿醉的原因。就连奥兹医生也认为腌黄瓜汁是解宿醉的好方法。奥兹医生表示,腌黄瓜汁中的盐分可以补充你喝酒时丢失掉的电解质,所以你不会头痛。但解宿醉真的只需从冰箱中拿出腌黄瓜罐这么简单吗?
Well, probably not. "The main thing to understand with hangovers is that they usually happen because people are dehydrated, and then also you probably didn't get much sleep," Tochi Iroku-Malize, MD, a practicing family physician in Long Island, New York, tells Health. So yes, salty pickle brine might help with the electrolytes you've lost if you peed a lot, or maybe even threw up, the night before. But taking a shot of pickle juice in the morning won't make your hangover disappear if you're not also drinking lots of water and nursing your hangover with a nap.
也许并不是。"关于宿醉,你需要了解的是:喝酒会使人们脱水,再加上睡不好,所以才会发生宿醉的情况,"纽约长岛的一名执业家庭医生Tochi Iroku-Malize医学博士对《健康》杂志说道。所以,如果喝酒那一晚你总是上厕所或呕吐,那么盐渍黄瓜汁的确能补充你丢失掉的电解质。但如果第二天早晨你没有喝很多水、没有小憩一会儿,那么只喝一杯腌黄瓜汁并不能解宿醉。
Alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means that it'll make you pee more than usual. That's why you may find you have to go so often during a boozy night out and one of the reasons you feel so dehydrated the morning after. Yes, you lose electrolytes in pee-but it's the water that really matters. "When you're losing water, you need to continue to replace that," Dr. Iroku-Malize says. She suggests that people drink a whole glass of water with every alcoholic drink to make the hangover sting less.
酒精起到利尿剂的作用,也就是说你去厕所的次数会比平时更多。因此如若晚上出去喝酒,你会发现自己需经常上厕所,而这也是喝完酒第二天脱水的原因。是的,上厕所的过程中你会失去电解质--但水才是重点。"身体失去了水分,你就需要不断喝水补充,"Iroku-Malize医生说道。她建议:每喝一杯酒饮就喝一杯水,以缓解宿醉头痛的情况。
The only way to really prevent a hangover is to not drink too much, Dr. Iroku-Malize says. Her definition of "not too much" is one drink a day for women and two for men.
预防宿醉的唯一方式就是少喝酒,Iroku-Malize医生说道。她对于"少喝酒"的定义为:女性每天喝一杯,男性每天喝两杯。
