After Saturdays festivities I was feeling a little dehydrated and well ... hungover. Now I know that usually first thing people do when they are hung over is to go to a local shop that fries stuff and order up big, but i'm here to tell you, there is a better way!
Hear me out. When we drink we deplete our bodies of water, B vitamins, Magnesium, Sodium, the list goes on and on really, and although fish and chips might replenish the sodium...that is about all it does. Eating greasy, processed, unhealthy food with a hangover is a surefire way to get it to last all day long. And who wants to waste a Sunday feeling like rubbish right?!
Lost of water and fresh salads with a lean protein will help your liver and digestive system to get back on track faster. Team it with an extra little morning rest and you will be feeling substantially better by the afternoon than if you ate the deep fried Mars Bar, I guarantee.
We had Asian Chicken Salad for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. The sesame oil made it nutty but the crisp vegies made it taste so fresh. This recipe is filled with liver loving amino acids, cruciferous vegetables and protein as well as vitamin A, Vitamin U, digestive enzyme love from the apple cider vinegar and just a touch of healthy fats. Hangover or no hangover, you gotta try this one!
