THE ULTIMATE HANGOVER MENU
Christmas partying doesn't always have to mean hangover hell if you made the right food choices.
18:00 THE PRE-PARTY MEAL
Glass of milk + Veg Soup + Salmon & Brown Rice
Start your pre-party meal with vegetable soup, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which are both depleted when you’re on the booze. Follow with green vegetables, grilled fish and brown rice – the low GI carbohydrates of brown rice stay in your body longer, delaying the absorption of alcohol through your gut lining. And to minimize post – party dehydration, drink plenty of water.
09:00 THE NEXT DAY BREKKIE
Berry smoothie + Toast & Marmite + Hard Boiled Egg
Grab a smoothie with antioxident packed berries and potassium-rich bananas- it will re stock your B and C vitamins (both are lost when drinking) After that, go for wholegrain toast, spread with Marmite, which satisfies salt cravings and is high in Vitamin B. And have a boiled egg on the side – eggs contain an amino acid called cysteine that helps speed up the detoxification process.
13:00 THE RECOVERY LUNCH
DIET GINGER ALE + TOFU STIR FRY with WHOLEGRAIN NOODLES + CHICKEN WRAP
To banish that ugly feeling for good go for lunch high in protein with low GI carbohydrates, such as a chicken wrap, or tofu stir-fry with wholegrain noodles. If you can’t live without a fizzy drink, now’s the time to have one because your stomach should have settled – diet ginger ale is ideal because it’s low in sugar and ginger is great at beating nausea.
Hangover? What Hangover?
