Peppermint Tea
Together with beans on toast, of course – is peppermint tea. Peppermint is a digestive aid that helps to relieve tension, bloating and other unpleasantries in the stomach. It also speeds up the detoxification process.
Apples
Eating an apple on an empty stomach is another great quick hangover fix. The antioxidants, fruit sugars and minerals like magnesium it contains all help to speed up your body’s natural detoxification process.
Eggs
Did you know that, when you drink too much, your body produces a toxic substance called acetaldehyde, which gives you hangover symptoms? Your body reacts by producing a counter-active chemical called glutathione. But that supply is quickly depleated. Eggs, however, are packed with cysteine (contained in glutathione), which can help to clean up leftover toxins in the process. Might explain why a fried brekkie is one of the first things we naturally reach for after a heavy night out…
Damage limitation for me is to drink water halfway through the evening, about 11pm and then just before bed I drink a large glass of water with 2 ibuprofen or 2 paracetamol. This is for my headache that feels like it´s being squeezed to bursting point, dehydration of course.
