If
you drink alcohol, chances are you’re going to wake up and face
suffering through a hangover from time to time. As for handling a
hangover, there are a lot of conflicting ideas out there about what
works and what doesn’t. That greasy meal you’re craving from bed might
not be the best option for a speedy recovery, but here are the top 10
ways hot to combat hangover. I am sure you will love the post. So, let
us not waste any more time and start!
10. Take Multivitamins
If you are too tired of the hangover the consider taking
multivitamins. It is true that too much drinking has depleted nutrients
in the body, including vitamin B12 and folate. So this is time for you
to try popping in a multivitamin to replenish what’s lost from a night’s
drinking.
9. Sip Ginger Tea
Chances are there that your hangover will accompany acidity and can
upset the stomach. In order to set that tummy, you should sip ginger
tea. Make sure it has not much sugar added. So, brew a warm mug of
strong ginger tea before you get developed food poisoning.
8. Eggs
Eggs are a powerhouse to stand up to a hangover for a couple different
reasons. For one thing their well-balanced protein ratio can help get
you going and reduce some of those more mysterious hangover cravings.
But what really makes eggs unique is the cysteine they contain. When
your body is processing alcohol out of the body, the liver runs out of
chemicals to break down the chemicals, so those painful toxins called
acetaldehyde linger unless something comes along to break them up.
Cysteine is the magic bullet as it has the same function of those
chemicals you’re missing from the liver, and will help to flush out the
toxins faster than you could do on your own.
7. Honey
Honey is high in fructose, which can help speed up your body’s
metabolism of alcohol, which gets it out of your body faster. Try
spreading some on a piece of whole grain toast for a solid (and
delicious) hangover breakfast choice, or just eat a spoonful and wash it
down with a full glass of water.
6. Pickle Juice
When you wake up craving salt after a night out even when you’re
dramatically thirsty as well, that’s because your electrolytes have been
diminished and your body is screaming out that it could use a
replenishing. A sports drink can help out, but strangely pickle juice
might be an even better option. Pickle juice is full of salty
electrolytes, minerals, and vinegar. Vinegar can help reduce heartburn,
assists in the absorption of nutrients while you eat, and may be able to
help stabilize the blood sugar.
5. Bananas
When you drink too much you diminish the levels of potassium in the
body, which can make you feel tired and nauseous. Eating a banana is one
of the most efficient ways to get your stores back up and hopefully get
you back on your feet. Bananas also contain tryptophan that converts to
serotonin and boosts the mood, reduces swelling, helps remove toxins
from the body, calm the digestive system (or jumpstart it, ahem), and
control your blood sugar. Bananas also help with the production of white
blood cells, which might be able to help you prevent getting a cold
after a wild weekend.
4. Asparagus
This is a great way to let you know hot to combat hangover. Researchers
aren’t entirely sure why this vegetable can reduce the lethargy, nausea
and headaches from a hangover, but it can! If eating a bunch of veggies
doesn’t sound like the most appealing thing in your morning fog try
chopping it up into an omelet with those amazing eggs. It’s benefits are
probably due to some mixture of its minerals, amino acids and vitamins.
3. Dark Chocolate
Chocolate can give a burst of sugar that’s helpful in hangover recovery,
but it can also help you get back nerve impulses that can be deadened
from over doing it on the shots. Just keep it minimal and as dark and
unprocessed as possible to avoid causing more problems. The cacao in its
natural state is the part that has the health benefits, not the added
sugar, butter, and milk that make it taste so good.
2. Oats
A warm bowl of oatmeal to recover will do than just make you feel
satiated, oats can actually absorb toxins in the body, even out the acid
levels, and are packed with B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and iron,
all of which can help replenish your energy levels.
1. Soda Water
Like eggs, soda water (and it’s sugar filled alternative Sprite) can
help to break down the toxin acetaldehyde. Drinking soda water is
generally a little more exciting than tap water alone, so it also might
encourage you to drink up and get hydrated a little quicker. If it’s
still not doing it for you, try adding a little bit of lemon or a drop
of a sports drink to give it a bite of flavor.
