The best way to beat your hangover

If you were out last night and are now feeling the pain, you’ll appreciate our advice on how to beat the dreaded hangover.

Before you get your hopes up though, you should know that there are no magical cures for the heavy head and queasy stomach; however, eating certain foods will help you survive the day.

• Start by having a few berries or a handful of nuts. These will help your body reduce the inflammatory response to your alcohol consumption.
• If your stomach is feeling a bit dodgy try having a ginger tea or a smoothie with fresh ginger. This should help to ease off your nausea.
• Don’t forget to keep hydrated. Sip on some water or juice. An electrolyte sachet is also a good way to restore your body.
• Try lifting yourself out of bed or off the couch and go for a walk or a jog. While this may be the last thing on your mind right now, exercising will help your body remove the toxins of the night before and you’ll feel so much better afterwards.

Best of luck!
