Seven Best Hangover Cures for the Holidays

Hangovers always seem to come at bad times, especially during the holidays. As you prepare for Christmas and New Years, know the best hangover cures. Here are the seven best hangover remedies from Health 911.

1. Apples eaten on an empty stomach the day after drinking is an effective remedy.
2. Bananas One of the quickest ways to cure a hangover is to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels. The milk soothes the stomach and rehydrates your system. Bananas are also rich in the important electrolytes, magnesium and potassium, which are severely depleted during heavy drinking.
3. Chicken soup Grandma's old stand-by, chicken soup, seems to work as well for hangover problems as it does for colds.
4. Feverfew Use feverfew, an herb, in place of aspirin. Aspirin is very hard on the stomach, while feverfew is not.
5. Ginger Take 500 mg of ginger capsules every few hours, or make a ginger tea. This will help soothe your stomach.
6. Tomato juice In addition to being a prevention remedy, tomato juice contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly. This is probably why the morning-after Bloody Mary seems to work.
7. Exercise will help get rid of your hangover by helping the body rid itself of toxins. The increased circulation gets blood and oxygen to your oxygen-starved brain.
