This week I decided to do the top ten hangover cures... after experiencing a particularly horrible hangover myself on Thursday! And with the end of the year coming up I thought lots of you might benefit from this post! Most of them are obvious but there are a few which might surprise you; I'd try them at your peril though! Read on and you'll see what I mean!
1. Lots of water; Ok this is a pretty obvious one like I said but it works! It's when you can't even drink water that you know that you're in big trouble!
2. Greasy food; Personally I can't think of anything worse when hungover than greasy eggs and beans but lots of you swear by this one!
3. Tomatoes; Yes, those people who swear by Bloody Marys the morning after the night before may not actually be as crazy as you thought! Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C which gets zapped after a night out.
4. Sex; The exercise gets the blood flowing to your head (amongst other body parts) and will have you feeling wide awake in no time!
5. Hair of the dog; I can't say I've tried this one myself but lots of people swear by it. If you think drinking yet even more alcohol will cure your hangover; beware! It will only work for so long!
6. Go for a run; Yes, get up and get out of that bed! The exercise will help you flush out last night's toxins and leave you with a more positive outlook (if not completely exhausted!)
7. Vitamins; Vitamins such as B1 and C found in sports drinks like Lucoazade help you to deal with the alcohol churning in your stomach!
8. Drink brine pickle; This one is one of the more....alternative remedies! Apparantly the brine pickles are bottled in helps to shift your hangover!
9. Caffiene; Many people swear by black coffee, tea or sugary fizzy drinks as an instant fix but the fix will only last so long! Caffiene causes dehydration which could leave you feeling even worse!
10. Go back to bed; If all else fails, go back to bed. You're clearly in need of desperate sleep and a little bit of TLC; just don't tell the boss!
So there you have the top ten hangover cures according to UKTV documentary; http://uktv.co.uk/documentary/ and Boreme.com; http://www.boreme.com/boreme
So will you be drinking brine pickle water and going for a run next time you're hungover?! Hmm, me neither! I think I'll stick to the bacon sandwiches with lots of brown sauce! If you have any tips, please comment back!
