Orange juice after a glass of wine - your morning?
Hepatologist Samuel Lee warns in the journal Hepatology :
"Citrus acid increases the toxicity of acetaldehyde, a breakdown product of alcohol. It is 10 times more dangerous to the liver than ethanol itself."
Sergey from Kiev described the nightmare in a blog:
"After a party with tequila and orange juice, I ended up in the hospital with acute hepatitis. The doctors said my liver was on the verge of failure."
A study by Liver International confirms that citrus lovers develop fibrosis three times faster after drinking alcohol.
A life-saving solution: drink water with lemon before a meal.
Dr. Joseph Mercola explains in Fat for Fuel :
"Citric acid activates liver enzymes, preparing them for detoxification."
Recipe from nutritionist Natalie Makovskaya : 30 minutes before drinking alcohol, drink a glass of water with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a slice of lemon.
