Take note for tomorrow...
Cursing last night’s 'festive catch up' G&Ts, margaritas and the inevitable sambuca shots? Here, Dietitian Laura Tilt explains what to eat to help alleviate your hangover, the day after the night before.Hangovers are multi-faceted; they're mainly caused by toxic acetaldehyde, which is a byproduct of alcohol breakdown. It’s down to your liver to turn acetaldehyde into acetate - a less toxic compound - but this takes an hour per unit.
Blame the magic combo of acetaldehyde, alcohol chemicals, dehydration and a lack of sleep that leaves you feeling distinctly un-magic.It’s no fluke that your toilet trips increase with the number of espresso martinis you drink - alcohol blocks vasopressin, the hormone that helps you retain water. Drinking plenty of fluids the morning after goes without saying, but sip, rather than gulp, to avoid aggravating nausea. Water is fine, but isotonic sport drinks are better, as the electrolytes and sugars will replenish your fluids more effectively.
