These are 5 foods to eat when you have a hangover (babalas)

The morning after the night before can be telling if you had one too many drinks. This would be waking up feeling like a truck ran over your head while your stomach is tied in knots.

If you wake up with this dreadful feeling, then you are probably suffering from a hangover – what Healthline magazine describes as fatigue, nausea, headache, sensitivity to light, dehydration, and dizziness that lasts for hours.

According to the publication, a hangover can be remedied by what we eat.

Here is what it recommends you eat if you suffer from a hangover:

1. Banana

Alcohol tends to block the production of a hormone that helps your body hold on to water. This leads to dehydration and loss of electrolytes like potassium and sodium. Bananas are rich in potassium and can help replenish your body’s stores.

2. Eggs

These are rich in cysteine, an amino acid that your body uses to produce the antioxidant, glutathione. Drinking alcohol decreases the body’s stores of glutathione. Without it, your body has a hard time breaking down the toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism.

3. Nuts

Due to their high magnesium content, nuts may be a solution to your hangover.

Excessive alcohol consumption can deplete magnesium in your cells. As a result, refilling magnesium may help treat symptoms related to excessive alcohol intake.

4. Meat

Meat, and other high-protein foods, may help your body better handle a hangover. Research shows that alcohol prevents your body from absorbing certain amino acids. In fact, chronic alcohol consumption can lead to amino acid deficiencies.

5. Oranges

These fruits are rich in vitamin C, that may prevent your body from losing glutathione. This is an antioxidant that helps rid your body of alcohol and is often decreased during alcohol consumption.
