Hangover Survival Tips

By Emma-lee Strachan
A hangover is caused by a combination of dehydration, vitamin depletion and the toxic byproducts created when your body is trying to break down the alcohol.
A hangover generally won?t stop until the alcohol is out of your system, but there are things you can do to can help take the edge off it.
Before heading out and during your night out make sure you drink plenty of water to help lessen the effects of dehydration and prevent you from consuming too much alcohol. Carbonated drinks like soft drinks and champagne make your body absorb the alcohol faster, try to avoid using fizzy drinks as mixers and have juice instead.
Taking a B vitamin supplement will help to clear toxins and calm a shaky nervous system the next day, try taking one before you start drinking and then again the next morning.
Eating a good meal before you start to drink, can help to top up your vitamin reserves and slow the absorption of alcohol.
Foods containing Cysteine, an amino acid found in eggs, meat, red peppers, oats and milk help to detoxify acetaldehyde ?a byproduct of alcohol that is a major cause of hangovers. This is why a fry up can make you feel better the next morning. Although having a healthy meal containing these ingredients is probably better for you in the long run, poached eggs or porridge are good choices.
Have a fresh orange juice with your eggs or porridge in the morning, this contains vitamin C which can help speed up the metabolism of alcohol, plus adding some ginger can help settle your stomach.
A banana and honey smoothie is another great option to help kick the hangover. Bananas are rich in the important electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, which are severely depleted during heavy drinking. Banana also helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels, giving you some energy. The milk soothes the stomach and re-hydrates your system.
Avoid coffee which can further dehydrate you and pain killers which can add extra burden to your liver and upset your stomach.
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
