Fruits, oats, eggs and green vegetables are the best food to deal with the harms of alcohol consumption - hangover.

You know what a hangover is , don't you? If you have not experienced it, for which we sincerely congratulate you, you have sufficiently observed the damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption and the intake of poor quality alcohol, albeit in small quantities.


The most common complaint of a hangover is a headache . Nausea and a "head that doesn't listen", strong irritability, sensitivity to environmental irritants, are the whole bunch of complaints about "relaxing last night".

 

However, criticism in such situations does not help us, and sometimes it is Monday and we have to quickly "get into class."

 

How can we support his body and help it get rid of toxins?

 

Experts recommend not to stay hungry, but to bring a suitable source of energy , rich in antioxidants . According to them, suitable foods are eggs, bananas, avocados, oatmeal, green leafy vegetables, few healthy carbohydrates, fruits and, of course, lots of water and fluids. However, you should definitely avoid high-fat / heavy foods, as they will worsen the condition of your currently sensitive digestive system and the general, which will inevitably affect the unwanted direction of your headache. Fats, in general, should be consumed before drinking alcohol to reduce its bad effects on the body - they have the property to slow down the absorption of alcohol into the blood.

 

So why is an egg useful for a hangover? An egg is a relatively small amount of food, at the same time it contains a mass of useful nutrients, simple proteins that are best suited for irritation from the stomach stomach. It is desirable to consume cooked and the version of the British breakfast fried in butter with bacon to leave for another time.

 

Bananas are a good source of potassium. In general, bananas are the most suitable food for temporary digestive problems and a source of potassium, so necessary for the balance of sodium in the body and the prevention of high blood pressure. Sugar and carbohydrates in it give the necessary energy to recover and start daily activities. Its fibers, in turn, support the activity of the intestine. 


According to many, oatmeal is the most appropriate type of breakfast, as it provides all those valuable nutrients that alcohol has destroyed during the night. These are calcium, magnesium, iron, B vitamins.

 

Oatmeal is also valuable with the beta-glucans they contain and which have an anti-inflammatory effect, and the hangover headache is based on just such a process. 


If it can be said that we have arranged the breakfast and the good start of the day, then the question of the appropriate consumption of food remains valid for later.

The greenest colored salad for lunch is the perfect solution! Green leafy vegetables are rich in amino acids, minerals and other nutrients that will help the body restore its balance. If, by chance, fresh salad is a problem, the option is to prepare one from fresh spinach or another dish from it - soup or dish, without it being rich in fat and difficult to digest by the stomach elements.

 

To the salad, spinach soup or dish you can add a toasted slice of bread, crackers, salads, as clean as possible in terms of aromas, flavors and lots of salt. This is one of the "friendliest foods" for the stomach in gastrointestinal complaints.

 

If you want to fight the headache quickly, you must deal with the dehydration that even small amounts of alcohol have caused. Therefore, you should drink enough water in the morning, constantly.

 

You can diversify with green tea - to replace the more prone to irritate the stomach and dehydrating coffee. Green tea has been scientifically proven to speed up the metabolism of alcohol, which helps prevent the harm of alcohol consumption on the liver.

By the way, carbonated soft drinks have the same effect when consumed, and a healthier option in this case is plain carbonated water, with a slice of lemon to taste, say.
 
To rehydrate the body, it is good to take electrolyte- rich drinks. Such are sports drinks. However, options that are high in sugar and calories should be avoided. Coconut water is a good alternative to electrolyte-rich drinks with reasonable limits on carbohydrates and calories.

 

Fruits are the food for hangover sufferers - they are rich in water, minerals, antioxidants and electrolytes. They can also be taken in the form of fresh juices and smoothies .


Scientific research shows that the consumption of fruits and juice of pears, green grapes, lemon, star fruit (carambola)  and even carrots reduces complaints. They have a detoxifying effect, some of them - lemon and pear juice reduce the concentration of alcohol in the blood. Consumption of juices with alcohol helps the body to cope with its bad effects and is a better option, and eating fruit for breakfast will have a "healing" effect.
