Foods That Can Soothe Your Hungover Stomach
Fall is here and that means our bodies are going to take a beating. What do I mean? We’ll be raking leaves, getting on ladders to put up Christmas decorations, and drinking too much at holiday parties. The first two things can usually be solved with Advil or Tylenol. That last one requires some more thought.
Hangovers suck. The older we get, the worse they feel. And the crazy thing is that it doesn’t take as many drinks to get us to that miserable state. But eating the right foods when hungover can make you feel like a new person.
While a greasy cheeseburger and Mountain Dew after a mid-semester kegger may have worked in college, that might not be so good for you now. It’s actually better in the long run to have healthier protein and sustenance that will both fill you up and comfort your stomach. According to Bustle, these 11 foods can do that for you:
2. Whole Grain Toast – The bland calories will settle your stomach and the whole grains are a source of nicotinic acid that decreases hangover severity.
3. Chicken Noodle Soup – It restores lost electrolytes.
4. Bananas – The potassium helps balance the fluids in your body.
5. Honey – Its high fructose content helps break down alcohol in your stomach faster.
6. Oats – It replenishes vitamin B, magnesium, and fiber lost, providing you with energy and nourishment.
7. Spinach – Vitamins in dark green veggies support liver enzymes.
8. Tomatoes – The lycopene reduces inflammation.
9. Sweet Potatoes – They provide complex carbs that’ll boost your energy levels.
10. Lemons – Since they’re an alkaline fruit, they moderate extra acid produced by your body during drinking.
11. Hummus with Crackers – Chickpeas have a good amount of vitamin B6, which supports metabolism and energy levels.
