🍷 Hangover Food Recipes 🍾
That Will Save Your Day
What To Eat When You're Hungover
We're officially in the thick of celebration season. Holiday parties, drinks with friends to catch up, Yankee swaps, New Year's Eve cocktail parties -- we're all going to need a little... detoxification soon.
While we recommend that you eat lots and lots of leafy greens, drink plenty of water, etc., we know that in the moment, you're going to need some hangover food.
We asked our friends and colleagues what they need to jolt themselves out of a post-celebration funk.
What did we find?
Lots of coffee, more egg dishes than we realized and plenty of hot chiles . Be advised: most of this food is not healthy . But healthfulness is usually not what we're considering when we're dragging ourselves around with one eye open.

Water
Increasing Water Intake

Drinking plenty of water or other hydrating fluids is a simple way to treat hangovers. While it won't offer a complete hangover cure, it definitely helps. "Alcohol thins the blood, which is 70 percent water, so it can affect the fluid balance," says Pete McCall, M.S., an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise. "Drinking water helps restore necessary fluids and can help the bloodstream and circulatory system carry nutrients and oxygen to the tissue and remove the wastes from a night of excessive consumption."
See how much of this stuff you can get into your face. Really test the limits.

Guzzling Sports Drinks
Here again, the extra electrolytes -- really just salts and sugars -- found in sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade might give them an edge over plain old water to treat a hangover. "Sports drinks will elevate blood glucose and can elevate sodium levels, which helps muscle cells uptake and use water, leading to quicker rehydration," says McCall.
Coffee
You don't need a recipe for this. It's coffee.
Get it Hot, cold, fast, slow, weak, strong - doesn't matter.
Sipping A Cup Of Joe
The
caffeine found in a classic cup of coffee can give you a short-term
boost, but its dehydrating effects could limits its effectiveness as a hangover cure, says Weiss."Caffeine, which could wake you up, can also dehydrate you, potentially making the situation worse," he says. Though having coffee has only temporary and limited effects, it remains a
popular way to initially ease a hangover.
Eating Some Asparagus
The Journal of Food Science has revealed that this spring vegetable might be the cure for your post-partying pain. A study from the Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in South Korea tested the effect that eating asparagus has on hangovers. The results showed that amino acids and minerals found in the vegetable can protect liver cells from toxins. This process can help prevent nausea, fatigue and headaches 
Loading Up On Vitamins And Minerals
Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., medical director of the Nutritional Magnesium
Association, says that vitamin C and magnesium can help the body break
down alcohol and eliminate it from the body, making these two supplements a viable hangover remedy. “One of the most absorbable forms of nutritional magnesium is magnesium citrate powder, which can be taken with hot or cold water,” says Dean.
Pushing Through A Workout
Of all the possible and popular hangover cures, experts say that this one
works the best, improving circulation and pumping up your mood-boosting hormones. The only hurdle is talking yourself into doing it. If you can, McCall has this advice: "Exercising during a hangover should be limited to low-to-moderate intensity exercise, since the hangover will negatively impact cognitive ability, motor control and coordination."

But don't try sports if you are still drunk!!
Getting Busy
In The Bedroom (??)
Wolfing Down
A
greasy breakfast for a hangover remedy may give your body a short-term
boost. "Besides glucose, alcohol reduces the amount of circulating free
fatty acids in the bloodstream," says McCall. "A breakfast high in
carbohydrate and fat content can help to elevate blood glucose and free
fatty acid levels in the short term." However, for the long term, it’s
not such a good idea.

"Hair
of the dog," or waking up and having another alcoholic drink, may be a feel-good hangover cure (at least temporarily), but this traditional college approach to ease a hangover really doesn't help. "If an
individual is planning to be active, recreationally or competitively, this is not a good idea at all," says McCall. "Drinking more alcohol will continue to disrupt blood chemistry and hydration, as well as
impair cognitive function and muscular coordination."
