\u201cHangxiety,\u201d (anxiety with a hangover) is a \u201creal condition\u201d according to Australian doc Zac Turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turner says that it\u2019s a sign your body is attempting to \u201crebalance your brain\u2019s chemicals post drinking.\u201d That feeling of being drunk comes when our brain \u201cbegins to shake up its own cocktail of chemicals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlcohol opens the floodgates of your brain\u2019s neurotransmitters,\u201d says Turner, \u201csuch as dopamine and serotonin, which is why you initially feel a rush of euphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Turner, glutamate is another neurotransmitter that causes anxiety. Have you ever noticed a feeling of anxiety after eating processed foods that contain MSG, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed proteins, natural flavoring or any of the other ingredients that contain Manufactured Free Glutamate (MfG)<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
