6 Foods to cure a hangover

Hangovers in the mornings can really kill the joy of previous night’s party. Avoid that splitting headache and feeling of nausea simply by incorporating these day to day ingredients in your diet, the morning after your big Christmas or New Year’s Eve celebration! 

Hydro Therapy – What alcohol really does to your body is dehydrate it. The easiest thing you could do the next day is to drink plenty of water and other healthy fluids to rehydrate your body. Coconut water has the same PH level as human blood plasma, so some fresh coconut water undeniably helps restore the vitamin mineral balance in your body. Also fresh juices from apples, carrots, tomatoes and pineapple are great. A fizzy drink or a can of soda works well to revitalize and wake you from your dull slumber. Even something as simple as a glass of hot water with ginger and lemon works wonders.  

Eggs – Scrambled, fried, in an omelet, boiled or poached, how you make your eggs doesn’t matter as long as you have a portion of these as a part of your post party breakfast or brunch! Eggs contain high amounts of protein and results in secretion of feel-good hormones particularly serotonin, which helps you come out of the somber mood, that usually follows after a night of too much drinking. Delicious scrambled eggs served in a scooped out bread bowl is fancy yet easy to make which is perfect when you have a couple of people to feed. Another must try is egg muffins with potatoes and bacon because you will forget all about your hangover only to experience food nirvana!  

Bananas – Bananas are a common hangover cure and rightly so. Loaded with potassium and natural sugars they make up for what the alcohol has taken away from our system.

Eggs, milk, bananas and sugar in this recipe all work perfectly well as cures for hangovers!
