despite being decent hangover cures so

let us know in the comments number 10
sweet potatoes sweet potatoes don't
sound like the most appetizing of
hangover foods
some people don't want to eat sweet
potatoes on the best of days sweet
potatoes
are bland but according to healthline
the nutrients inside
may help with even the fiercest of
hangovers sweet potatoes have a ton of
vitamin a
magnesium and potassium three
ingredients for a good hangover cure
vitamin a helps the inflammation and
just one cup of cooked sweet potato
contains over 750 percent of your daily
value
if you ate that you would feel pretty
satisfied i mean i eat
a lot of sweet potatoes and i know if i
had that as my lunch or part of my lunch
i would be very sated stated means you
know
full magnesium and potassium help
restore nutrients your body is
desperately craving and
lacking after a night of heavy drinking
just a few ways one vegetable
can make a big difference to your
overall health sweet potato fries anyone
number nine beans beans on toast sounds
like a pretty comfy meal after a night
of drinking
and as it turns out beans are actually
great for hangovers so it's a win-win
like sweet potatoes beans are rich in
magnesium
which is one of the top tier keys in
aiding a hangover
on their own beans don't contain all of
the essential amino acids but when
combined
with a complementary protein like brown
rice they become complete
magnesium helps support your liver after
it worked overtime
and it stabilizes your rapidly beating
heart beans also contain a lot of cheap
protein
they may help with dehydration owing to
the salt and sugar contained within two
i ain't hungry it's the only way we're
gonna get the key
you can't waste food plus you have to
eat your dinner
they also have tons of carbs that will
give you the necessary energy to start
your morning
beans are indeed the magical fruit i ate
his liver
with some fava beans and a nice chianti
number eight orange eat this get your
sugar levels up
maybe you're wanting something a little
more citrusy or refreshing to start your
morning
in that case oranges obviously contain a
ton of vitamin c
which is paramount in regulating
glutathione first of all just looking at
the nutrient composition
basically it's comprised of water in
your orange as well as some fiber
and some sugar some some healthy
fructose sugar
and some vitamins and minerals for those
who don't know and we
definitely knew before researching
glutathione is an antioxidant
and a necessary component in getting the
alcohol out of your system
while eating oranges can work for a
hangover avoid
orange juice at all costs the juice is
incredibly acidic
and that is not what you want on an
already queasy stomach
yeah number seven
oatmeal the last thing you probably want
to eat while hungover
is a warm goopy and flavorless mess
if you close your eyes it almost feels
like you're eating runny eggs but
if you want that hangover gone faster
then shovel down that oatmeal
like beans oatmeal contains lots of
carbs and sugar
both of which can help improve mood
relieve your fatigue
and increase your blood sugar levels it
also has a ton of great nutrients that
the body wants
including our old pals magnesium and b
vitamins as well as iron and calcium
your mind may not want oatmeal while
hungover but your body
desperately craves it go on don't be shy
number six bananas is that a banana what
what you're having a banana
oh this i was just grabbing a banana
there are few hangover foods better than
bananas
they're cheap nutritious quick to pick
up and eat and there's
absolutely no cooking involved alcohol
dries you out
and depletes your body of potassium
since bananas contain over 10 of your
daily value of potassium
it's a great food to restore your body
to its pre-drinking peak bananas are a
good source of magnesium and vitamin c
and b6 they're also low in fat it's also
packed with fiber
and is easy on the stomach which is an
absolute must on the mornings after
where even the slightest provocation can
have you running for the toilet
better yet make some oatmeal and top it
with bananas
instant hangover superfood take those
bananas
number five salmon there you go
go on
how do you know you don't like it if you
won't try it we don't know who's firing
up the oven at nine in the morning and
cooking up a salmon but hey
science says it's good for us like the
vitamin a found in sweet potatoes
salmon is great at decreasing hangover
induced inflammation due to the
abundance of omega-3 fatty acids
research also suggests that the omega-3
fats in salmon and other fatty fish
may promote weight loss and decrease
belly fat in overweight individuals
the b12 will also increase your energy
and the salt found within will help
restore your body's sodium
salmon is one of the world's great
superfoods and it will do wonders for
both your health
and your hangover so it'd be a good idea
to incorporate
fatty fish rich in omega-3s two to three
times a week
just to help improve your overall health
number four avocado
avocados have become one of the most
popular foods on the planet
and exploded into a multi-billion dollar
industry
these fatty little green things were the
hottest food trend of the 2010s
as it turns out they're really good for
hangovers like bananas
avocados are rich in potassium and just
one avocado contains
up to 20 percent of your daily value the
only problem is
avocados are much more expensive than
bananas
if you look past the price you'll get a
fruit that comes equipped with lots of
b6
and fiber avocados contain mostly good
fats
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
plus a small amount of saturated fat
they both help restore your body's
nutrients
and flush the toxins incurred from
alcohol consumption
many people eat avocados for breakfast
even when they're not hungover
there aren't a lot of downsides to the
superfruit there is no place for you
sir in my new avocado kingdom
you can't do it like this number three
chicken noodle soup
is there a problem well this is noodle
soup and uh i've been working with
tomato
but it's okay no problem no problem this
is one of the all-time great
sick foods and a staple of family units
everywhere but forget the kid you're
hungover and you need to
not be hungover so break out the chicken
noodle soup
this comfort food is packed with sodium
which ironically helps you rehydrate
after the alcohol has dried you out
in fact it doesn't even need to be
chicken noodle you made me chicken soup
yes as long as the soup is salty it
should be good for a hangover
miso and tomato bisque are also good
options
all that said the chicken also comes
chock full of cysteine
cysteine is an amino acid that's good
for your liver and helps combat the
effects of acetaldehyde a chemical
compound
that can give you hangover symptoms
there you go a delicious nutritious
homemade chicken noodle soup number two
eggs my grandpa was an old school cop
this was his hangover cure raw egg yolks
it doesn't get much easier or much
cheaper than good old-fashioned eggs
eggs also contain cysteine so
vegetarians don't have to worry about
eating chicken noodle soup if they want
their fill
[ __ ] i said over easy the taurine in
eggs
also helps heal your liver after a night
spent working overtime
at the same time the vitamin b12 will
help energize you in the morning
and get you out the door calcium and
vitamin d help round out the superfood
when it comes down to it
eggs are pretty darn incredible humans
have been eating eggs for hundreds of
thousands of years
surely they're doing something right for
our bodies you know what
maybe i will have some eggs if you want
to know what else to throw into your
avocado sweet potato omelet
be sure to wait until after these
honorable mentions to see what our
top hangover cure is watermelon the
fruit can help
rehydrate and increase blood flow this
fruit is so
rich in antioxidants you aren't going to
want to go without ever again
pickles these cucumbers and their brine
are high in sodium
who love it snookers is funny
who likes their pickles spinach the
green veggie has
tons of folate and will replenish your
body's stores

number one green vegetables your parents
always told you to eat your veggies
how'd you do that
work out plenty of rest you know eat
your green vegetables
that's what my mom is always saying i
just never actually believed her there's
a reason for that
while your relationship with green
veggies may be less than loving
they really are some of the greatest
foods on planet earth
at least from a health perspective foods
like broccoli leafy greens and asparagus
are fantastic choices for curing
hangovers
we're also getting a ton of fiber we get
a ton of antioxidants
and we definitely just know that diets
that are high in fruits and vegetables
and especially these green vegetables
are associated with
better health outcomes all across the
board asparagus may help
break down alcohol and aid the liver in
recovery leafy greens are often filled
with potassium
and vitamins and broccoli contains
anti-inflammatory properties and folic
acid
i am so confused this is a lot of
information to process beast boy
but aren't vegetables still just gross
tasteless rabbit food we know green
veggies don't make for the most
appetizing hangover food
but if you want it cured sooner rather
than later then you can't do much better
than these i'm just gonna throw this out
there
these are the foods that you should eat
but you probably won't eat like don't
you just want a juicy burger and some
dirty fries
come on anyway be sure to let us know in
the comments if there are any hangover
cures that you swear by
or come tell me on twitter or instagram
rebeccabrayton or
on my youtube channel see ya
