The best foods and drinks to cure a hangover

You had a great time last night…and now you’re paying for it. While collegiate wisdom says to reach for greasy, fatty foods to “soak up” the alcohol, that large cheese pizza you ordered at 3 A.M.

(and then snacked on later for “breakfast”) is mixing up a potent gastrointestinal cocktail that’s just too strong for your weak tummy to handle. And even if you have a stomach of steel, most fat-laden foods don’t provide your body with the nutrients alcohol has depleted, says nutritionist Monica Reinagel.

That doesn’t mean you can’t eat your way to a brighter morning after. You just need to pick foods that’ll replace the nutrients your body has lost and fight the toxins it’s acquired, she says.

Here, the seven foods to eat to save your so-called Sunday Funday.

Eggs

Incredible, edible toxin destroyers, eggs pack heavy loads of cysteine, an amino acid that can break down toxins your body hasn’t, she says. Plus, eggs are high in B vitamins, which one study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found can reduce hangover symptoms. For extra B, Reinagel suggests sprinkling on some nutritional yeast flakes.
