Feeling sloshed, nauseated or bloated? No wonder after every hangover there’s a promise of never drinking again! Hangovers bring in headaches and not good feelings. But, if you’ve already partied the night away and need some help there are some foods that you could consider.
Greasy and fatty foods are a complete no-no! But, here are the 7 best foods to eat while suffering from a hangover:
Oats
Kickstart your mornings with a steaming bowl of oatmeal. Rich in calcium, vitamin B, magnesium, and iron, oats can be a great way to curb those carb cravings! Sticking to a hearty bowl of oatmeal garnished with fresh-cut fruits acts as a good detox by neutralizing the acidic reflux.
Eggs
Opt for eggs when you feel lazy, tired, and hungover! This staple breakfast is delicious, easy to make, and quick. Packed with amino acids and taurine, eggs are the perfect option when you are having a throbbing headache.
Avocado
Feeling dehydrated and sloshed after a night of heavy drinking? Eating avocados can lower potassium levels caused by alcohol consumption and hence make you feel better. Therefore, a perfect breakfast spread can include slices of whole-wheat toast topped with an egg, cut avocado/ guacamole, and fresh tomato.
Bananas
High in potassium, bananas are great for nausea. Rich in minerals, bananas can curb the after-effects of alcohol. They also contain sugar and fiber, hence giving you a feeling of being full. Cut them in slices or have them as an accompaniment with whole wheat toasts. Overall, they are great toppings.
Fresh Fruit Juices
Investing in healthy foods should be your top priority while battling a severe hangover. Opt for fresh fruit juices like apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, green grape juice, watermelon juice, etc. Even coconut water is a powerhouse of minerals.
Green Tea
Green tea has shown great results for the treatment of hangovers and to reduce the long-term effects of alcohol on the body. Highly beneficial, green tea can aid with common hangover symptoms like nausea, headaches, loss of concentration, and tiredness. It is also a great way to rejuvenate your body and make up for the loss of nutrients.
Soups
hangover soups like miso soup, garlic soup, sweet corn soup, mushroom soup, pumpkin soup, carrot-ginger soup, etc. can do wonders for treating a bad hangover. A warm pot of soup is healthy food for your hangovers and soothes your body like nothing else. You even have a Haejang-guk or hangover soup in Korean cuisine that literally translates to “soup to chase a hangover”.
We hope now you have a list of healthy foods ready when battling a hangover!
