What are some good home remedies for hangovers?

Hangovers are caused by dehydration and loss of potassium and electrolytes. To prevent hangover: DRINK (that night if possible, if not the next day): - lots of water. This is the best cure for a hangover.

Try to drink 8 glasses. - orange juice (before bed) if you can. - sports drinks which replace lost fluids and electrolytes.

- hot toddy (non alcoholic) Boil 1 cup of water and add honey and lemon to taste. Honey contains fructose which helps metabolize alcohol. Citrus contains vitamin C.

- ginger ale. Ginger is used to control nausea and seasickness. If drinking ginger ale doesn't work cut a dozen slices of ginger root and put in 4 cups of water.

Boil for 10 minutes and strain. Add juice of an orange, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 cup honey and drink. EAT: - Clear liquids to solid food as tolerated.

- Bananas which replace lost potassium due to dehydration. REST: in a dark, quiet room with ice compress or cold washcloth on your forehead.

As soon as you wake up, drink 2 large glasses of water to undo the dehydration. Even better if you drink hot water with added one tablespoon of honey. Honey contains plenty of fructose ( a simple sugar, also called fruit sugar) which speeds up the metabolism of alcohol.

You can also eat just two tablespoons of honey. Hangover remedy Have a large glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit, orange or tomato juice. Fruit juice is rich in fructose and minerals.

Have a banana milkshake! Banana milkshake is an especially good way to replace potassium, magnesium and other nutrition lost during a night of heavy drinking. Mix half cup of milk with one banana and two teaspoons of honey in a blender and drink up.

Alcohol, served with a paper umbrella or otherwise, can do a number on your entire system. Ethanol is by nature dehydrating, and will rob your body of much needed water and electrolytes as well as causing dry-mouth and headaches. Depending on how much you drink or how often you find yourself intoxicated, liver function can be adversely affected, as well as a drop in the production of vitamin B12.

Additionally, alcohol has a depressive effect on the senses, which can lead to increased light and sound sensitivity as the effects wear off. For more info go to wisegeek.com/what-are-some-home-remedies....
