Bananas contain potassium that the body needs during a hangover. Ever noticed the high level of dehydration you experience during babalaas? When there’s too much alcohol in the system, it disrupts the body’s ability to retain water and loss of electrolytes occurs. Try eating banana to help restore these electrolytes in the body.

#2. Avocado

One of the foods to eat to deal with a hangover are avocados. The link? Avocado contains liver-protecting properties and that’s a welcome change noting that excessive alcohol consumption damages the liver. This is in addition to its high potassium content.

Ginger has always been an all round one-stop-shop and a hangover is not exempted. With you scrambling the kitchen for foods to eat to deal with a hangover, you might bypass this miracle ingredient, DON’T. Ginger helps with the nauseating feeling that comes with excessive drinking.

Who’s up for a bottle of sprite? Hopefully there’s still some left from the vodka-sprite mix the night before. Soda helps with the nausea and headache.

Surprise! This isn’t handy only when you’re down with the flu. It might be because it’s high in sodium, something your body particularly needs right now.

Bonus tip:

  • Drinking lots of water may help tone down headaches and thirst.
  • Follow your cravings, sometimes that’s your body’s way of directing you to ingest what would work.
  • It’s true sliding anything else down your throat is the last thing on your mind but eating a healthy breakfast helps balance out blood-sugar level.
