After consuming alcoholic beverages passed the body’s tolerance level, it is possible that a person can get an unpleasant physiological condition known as a hangover. A hangover can last as long as three days after the alcohol consumption. Some symptoms of hangover are fatigue, headaches, nausea, blurred vision, bloodshot eyes and rapid heartbeat.

Drinking various types of fresh fruit and vegetable juices can help subdue hangover. Here are some fresh juice recipes that have been tested and proven.

The first recipe is very potent for detoxifying and should be drunk with plenty of water to flush out the toxins. Juice a beet root, two ribs of celery and a small bunch of spinach, and for its B vitamins, add a teaspoonful of spirulina.

Beet root juice not only cleanses the liver but also help detoxifies the entire system of alcoholic toxicity. Celery is a great source of calcium and magnesium that have a calming effect on the central nervous system. Spinach is highly cleansing and is essential for the body’s circulatory system, especially to the brain.

Another effective beverage is a mixture of cantaloupe and watermelon. These fruits are diuretics and can really help flush out toxicity from your system.

Juicing cauliflower, a cup of broccoli, an apple and two oranges can work wonders as well. This drink can help prevent or relieve headaches. To get the most juice from broccoli or cauliflower, use a twin gear juicer.

This juicer recipe is for creating different concoctions that can help people who constantly get asthma attacks, such as myself. Drinking this beverage can help clear the airways and, if done religiously, can even prevent asthma attacks.

The first recipe is a combination of carrots and celery. Carrots is known in dispelling excessive mucus from the body. Drinking carrot juice on its own daily is no doubt good for the health. Throwing in one or two ribs of celery will make this drink more effective because celery has super cleansing power. Improvement on tolerance levels will be noticeable after about a week of drinking this.

The next recipe requires more vegetable juicing and will be needing wheatgrass, alfalfa sprouts, parsley and celery. One doctor mentioned that a diet which is high in chlorophyll can help detoxify the liver and colon. Such cleansing can rid our system of much toxicity and it can also reduce inflammation of these organs. First, take a rib of celery and use a handful of the wheatgrass, alfalfa sprouts and parsley. Put these all in the juicer and mix the drink with half a glass of water, adding two teaspoons of raw honey. This combination may be difficult to drink, but it’s definitely highly nutritious and healthy.

Making grape juice and drinking it regularly can be effective in reducing the frequency of asthma attacks. Grapes are known to have potent anti-inflammatory properties and it would also be suitable for children, although those who drink it below seven years old should have the drink diluted with water to prevent diarrhea and wind.

Most asthma sufferers can’t stomach citrus fruits, so another good substitute is drinking a beverage that has a combination of guava juice, strawberries and cranberries because these fruits have a high content in vitamin C.
