Ten ways to ease a killer of a hangover
Unfortunately here at Foodie Towers we have suffered a hangover or two. Is there anything that can cure one? We have ten tips to help you out of that headache, nausea and all round meh-ness.
1. Water
As you know from those twenty trips to the toilet, alcohol is a diurectic. Keep dehydration at bay by alternating your alcoholic drinks with water as well as having a glass of water before falling into your bed. Just don’t drink too much water.
2. Full Breakfast
Fat and carbs always works for us but not the most healthy of cures. Grill your breakfast for added healthiness.
3. Cup of tea
Tea sorts everthing out. If you have the night after jitters and can’t yet face food, a sugary cuppa might help on the way. Sitting upright to drink your tea is also a good test of whether or not you need that extra 2 hours of horizontal, less spinning head rest.
4. Sleep
Snooze it off. Grab that duvet, head for the couch and sleep it off.
5. Coconut water
A good re-hydrator and tastier than plain water. Supposed to be full of amazingness.
6. Toast
Simple, carby and extra bonus points for toppings such as banana for heath. Basic butter for fats or jam for sugar rush. Plain toast can settle a bad stomach.
7. Painkillers
Ease that pounding head with a painkiller but don’t put pressure on that liver working overtime or irritate that queasy stomach.
8. Hair of the dog
Not a good idea, more pressure on your system and could lead you into an alcohol viscious circle.
9. Irn Bru
Liquid and sugar. Sworn hangover cure of many a Scot.
10. Hangover Soup
Mr Foodie came across this in Korea. This meaty broth will help the belly with some much needed food.
Of course the best way is prevention, alternate your drinks with water and try to limit yourself to one alcoholic drink an hour to keep pace with your body.
