HOW TO CURE A HANGOVER
Cure a hangover after the party
If you’re too drunk to remember where you are or who got you home, then you have no choice but to subconsciously brace yourself for a bad morning after.
But if you’re still dry enough to recognize your home, there are a few things you ought to do to cure a hangover and make the next morning look a bit better.
Make sure you pop in another milk thistle capsule [one capsule before heading to the party], and then drink a bottle of water. Don’t gulp the water down, or you may just end up throwing up.
Sip the water and have it slowly, even if it’s going to take you ten minutes to finish the water. Don’t worry though, sipping water down won’t make you throw up.
And if you’re already experiencing the symptoms of a hangover, you can pop in a paracetemol with your water. Chances are, you may wake up the next morning and not remember that you were drunk the earlier night!
HOW TO CURE A HANGOVER THE MORNING AFTER
Curing a hangover in the morning
Many people reach out for a coffee in the morning, assuming it’s the best cure for hangover. We’ve seen it in the movies, but in reality, coffee can make you feel worse, and even mess with your digestion process. Caffeine and the sugar in the coffee provide a sudden burst of high sugar levels and energy, which can temporarily make you feel better, but you’d feel worse than you started off in less than an hour.
Some people even suggest having a small drink the next morning, a.k.a. the hair of the dog. But this too provides only a temporary relief if you’re wondering how to cure a hangover.
The best thing to cure a hangover is a well balanced small meal that’s not too flavored or sweet.
If you do wake up with a headache or feel a bit sluggish in the morning, wash up and calm your tummy. The best breakfast you could use is a couple of bananas or a banana smoothie. It will stabilize your sugar levels like no other, as it has three types of sugar that break down slowly in it.
Along with your bananas, have a few slices of bread or eat anything starchy and non-greasy like mashed potatoes or pasta. Adding these in your breakfast menu would help in raising the blood sugar levels gradually.
If you want to go one step up on curing a hangover, then pop in a few vitamin pills, as alcohol destroys your B and C vitamins. Can’t find the pills in your medicine cabinet? Drink a full glass of fresh orange juice as a substitute.
And most importantly, don’t just laze in bed. Get out and give your body some exercise, so you can sweat out all the alcohol in your body.
Now that you know how to cure a hangover, go on and get something to eat. Or perhaps, work out and sweat it all out!
