Why you feel bad – it’s not what we’ve been told
Inflammation, a fundamental aspect of the body's immune response, can also be triggered by various activities, including overexertion and overindulgence. While inflammation is a natural defense mechanism that helps the body fight infections and heal injuries, its effects can become noticeable and sometimes uncomfortable the day after a night out or a strenuous workout. We at Ctrl+Z have used science-based research to discover that inflammation is actually the chief culprit when you feel lousy after overdoing it.
A big night out can produce a range of unpleasant symptoms that can be partially attributed to inflammation. The liver can be triggered to produce acetaldehyde, a toxic compound. Acetaldehyde triggers an inflammatory response, leading to the release of cytokines and other inflammatory molecules. These substances promote an immune response, causing the body to exhibit symptoms like headache, nausea, fatigue, and muscle aches.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is particularly susceptible to such inflammation. What we eat and drink can irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines, resulting in increased production of stomach acid and disturbances in normal digestion. This irritation contributes to nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort after a night out. Additionally, your gut bacteria can fall out of balance, which can further aggravate inflammation in the GI tract and contribute to overall discomfort.
Dehydration, which is another outcome of overconsumption, can concentrate the blood and increase the levels of inflammatory markers, intensifying symptoms. Thus, staying hydrated and replenishing lost fluids can help mitigate inflammation and alleviate discomfort to some extent.
Overexertion, especially during intense physical activities or exercise, can also lead to inflammation in the body. When muscles are pushed beyond their normal limits, they undergo microscopic damage. This damage triggers an inflammatory response as the body's immune system rushes to repair and heal the affected tissues. While this inflammation is a natural part of the muscle recovery process, excessive or chronic overexertion can lead to a prolonged state of inflammation that may contribute to muscle soreness, stiffness, and reduced performance.
While most of these symptoms tend to clear up in a day or two, we at Ctrl+Z know that a day or two of feeling lousy often isn’t an option. That’s why our unique supplement addresses all the causes of temporary discomfort – inflammation, gut imbalance, and dehydration. Our red sorghum extract is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The postbiotics in Ctrl+Z can quickly begin helping with gut imbalance and restoring the beneficial microbes that provide optimal digestion. The vitamins and electrolytes in Ctrl+Z replace what’s lost from dehydration.
No other supplement provides such a wide spectrum of natural ingredients designed to prevent days lost to recovery from overexertion and overindulgence. All in a delicious drink that can keep you firing on all cylinders in your busy lives.
Ctrl+Z has done the research to recognize that inflammation is a chief culprit in the temporary discomfort from overdoing it either in the gym or from an active nightlife. Avoid discomfort and lost time with Ctrl+Z.
