Party season fix: Eat these 5 foods to prevent and cure a hangover

You look forward to the weekend all week. And then, you attend a late night party on Friday and end up nursing a bad hangover all weekend. Sounds familiar? The good news is by making small changes to your diet, you can avoid messy hangovers. Here are 5 foods that’ll help you:

HAVE A SPINACH SALAD

Spinach is a good source of magnesium, which alcohol consumption tends to deplete. Spinach is also an antiinflammatory agent.

GET A DOSE OF VITAMIN C

Before you hit the club, ensure you have an orange or lemon juice; they detoxify your body and give you a generous shot of vitamin C as well. It can help your body process the alcohol smoothly.

EAT FATTY FOODS

While normally, a high-fat diet is not considered to be healthy, if you plan to booze, you may want to eat a high-fat meal. Eating a burger as opposed to a salad, for instance, before drinking, can ensure that the alcohol is absorbed slowly in the bloodstream and causes less of a hangover.

DRINK WATER

Drinking water is a good idea to prevent a hangover. Alcohol can cause dehydration and cause headaches and fatigue. Sip a glass of water in between drinks and have a glass of water before going to sleep.

HAVE A HEAVY BREAKFAST

The day after, wake up and even if you feel queasy, ensure you eat a good breakfast. Hangovers can cause low blood sugar, and lead to headaches. Eating a good breakfast brings blood sugar levels in check and helps you recover faster.
