5 Best Halloween Hangover Cures…..

Halloween is not only for kids these days, for many it is another great opportunity to get out, party hard and look scary.

So for those of you who were on it last night we have some food suggestions that will make you feel human again, hopefully in time for a Sunday night out or a nice glass of wine with Downton Abbey.

So…get yourself some of the below and have a great Sunday….XXXX from Team Bent.

Eggs
Incredible, edible toxin destroyers, eggs pack heavy loads of cysteine, an amino acid that can break down toxins your body hasn’t, she says. Plus, eggs are high in B vitamins, which one study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found can reduce hangover symptoms. For extra B, Reinagel suggests sprinkling on some nutritional yeast flakes.

Coconut Water
“Alcohol molecules love H2O, so whatever alcohol you take in will grab water,” says James M. Schaefer, Ph.D., an alcohol metabolism expert and research professor of anthropology at Union College. The result: Your whole body—brain included—is sucked dry. So hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. While sports drinks do contain the electrolytes you need after a big night of drinking, they also often contain ingredients like artificial food dyes that don’t do your brain cells any favors. A low-sugar coconut water, on the other hand, contains just as many electrolytes as Gatorade.

Ginger
If you wake up reeling from nausea, make ginger your new best friend. A small dose of ginger also stimulates a stalled, post-drink digestive system, helping to ease constipation, gas, bloating, indigestion, and even vomiting. Not a fan of the flavor? There’s a pill for that. “Take two ginger capsules every hour with water,” Line your stomach first.

Tomato Juice
One virgin Bloody Mary, coming right up! Why? When you pour a steady stream of alcohol into your body, your liver is too busy metabolizing the booze to maintain adequate blood sugar levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Because glucose is the primary energy source of the brain, low levels can cause fatigue, weakness, and a generally pissy mood. But a glass of tomato juice packs enough simple sugars to get your levels up and running again, and its inflammation-fighting lycopene and serious hydrating factor don’t hurt, either.

Bananas
It’s not just taking in the extra liquid during an all-nighter that sends you on more trips to the little boys room. Alcohol actually draws water from your body’s cells, creating more urine and causing you to literally flush potassium down the toilet. Low levels of potassium are linked to weak, shaky muscles and high blood pressure—all common hangover symptoms, according to the NIH. No worries, a banana can shoot your potassium levels right back up to where they belong.

Asparagus
Asparagus extract was found to boost levels of enzymes that break down alcohol. While some research focused on eating it before a hangover sets, scientists have suggested eating a serving or two the next day can still help since a hung-over body is riddled with toxins. Unfortunately it might not be everybody preferred food in the morning

Coffee
Admittedly, this isn’t a cure it can be a great pick me up. After all, the only thing worse than a hangover headache is a hangover headache plus a caffeine-withdrawal headache. But if you don’t regularly drink coffee, now’s not the time to start. Coffee’s a diuretic, capable of compounding existing dehydration. So for every cup you drink, match it with a glass of water. That advice doubles for drinking, but you’ll remember that next weekend, right?
