Gary Brecka, the biohacker who describes himself as the 'Ultimate Human’ has shared his ‘foolproof’ way to cure any hangover.
Of course, the only foolproof way to avoid a hangover is to abstain from drinking alcohol, but you get the point.
If you struggle after a hard night out, maybe you can learn something here - if you have the right equipment.
Gary Brecka is a biohacker called the ‘Ultimate Human’
Gary Brecka is a biohacker, human biologist, podcaster, and - well - a bit of an internet celebrity.
Sure, there have been controversies around some of the claims made by Brecka - and biohackers like him - but they definitely do put time and research into what they do, even if it is sometimes bizarre.
In Brecka’s case, he is also known for sharing his routines and hacks for health, such as his 30-30-30 morning weight loss regime, which recommends eating 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of being awake, and then doing 30 minutes of exercise.
That’s not a bad idea, and some scientists have even supported it, so what would they make of his hangover cure?
Well, as we’ve covered, they’d tell you that not getting a hangover is only guaranteed through not drinking, but we all know that you aren’t going to do that.
So, let’s hear what the biohacker has to say, shall we?
Gary Brecka’s ‘foolproof’ hangover cure
On podcast Bussin’ with the Boys, Brecka outlined the method.
“The whole pain from a hangover is not only the dehydration [it’s] from the drop in PH of your blood,” he said.
“That’s why you can stop a hangover in its tracks if you drink hydrogen water.”
So, first step - acquire some hydrogen water.
Brecka continued: “If you actually put on a little oxygen tank and it runs into your nose, you put it over your ears and you just ran some oxygen…”
Step two, have a little tiny oxygen mask in the house, gotcha.
When quizzed if he was being serious, the 55-year-old added: “If you took a 10 ounce glass of water, [put a] hydrogen water tablet in there, it’s about 12 parts per million hydrogen, you added to that a mineral salt, drank that back and ran 15 minutes of oxygen, I don’t care how bad your hangover is, it would be over inside of 20 minutes.”
It’s a bold claim, but we’d need a few things to test it out.
If you are that committed to the bit, give it a whirl and let us know.
For the rest of us, maybe we should just take it a bit easier the night before and not have to break out the hydrogen water and oxygen tank.
