Hangover Foods

Favorite hangover food is chicken noodle soup.  It will help to rehydrate you — mostly due to its high sodium content.  

 Bananas are rich in potassium and will  replenish your body’s storage of the nutrient.  One medium banana contains 12% of your daily value for this nutrient.

Eggs contain cysteine, an amino acid that your body uses to produce the antioxidant glutathione.  Wine consumption decreases the body’s stores of glutathione. Without it, your body has a difficult time breaking down the toxic byproducts of wine.  Eating cysteine-rich eggs increases glutathione and helps hangover symptoms.

 Honey has a high fructose content. Studies have shown that fructose may help rid your body of alcohol more quickly. A study in 50 adults found that honey increased the rate of alcohol elimination by up to 32.4% 

Watermelon is rich in L-citrulline, a nutrient that increases blood flow.  Plus, it is  high in water content that will help you rehydrate.

Pickles are high in sodium, an electrolyte that is depleted during wine drinking.  The brine will boost your sodium levels and overcome your hangover.
