Hangover "Cure-All" Tea

Hangovers are the definition a bad time. Everyone has their own ideas on how to cure them, but unfortunately, most theories revolve around greasy food or...more alcohol. We prefer a healthier alternative.

This recipe comes from Alicia Silverstone's, The Kind Diet, and it is the perfect solution for a hangover. Not only does it cure fatigue, headaches, and nausea, but it also helps to curb cravings. This way, you feel much better and avoid spending the entire day reaching for every greasy/fatty meal you can find.

Other ideas that help us prevent/cure a hangover.

x. Eat a handful of raw almonds before going out. This was a remedy used by the Native Americans (an African remedy suggests peanut butter). Fat is digested slowly and will help protect the stomach.

x. Walk home from the bar. Not only does this keep you from getting in a car, risking a DUI and...death, but exercise helps your body rid itself of toxins and it helps blood circulation. Plus, walking that night is far more appealing (and fun) than getting up early to go to the gym.
**after this was posted, a friend e-mailed this....soo maybe just take a cab...exercise later...**

x. Before you go to bed have two huge glasses of water. Dehydration is responsible for most of the annoying effects of a hangover. Make sure you drink water to rehydrate and to help flush the alcohol out of your system.

x. Eat something! Greasy burritos and burgers are what most people reach for at 2 am, but the best thing you can do is grab some bread and olive oil. The carbohydrates will help absorb the alcohol and the olive oil will line your stomach, creating a protective layer.

x. Try to avoid taking drugs of any kind. Ibuprofen and Tylenol may sound tempting, but they lend themselves to tears in the stomach lining and liver damage. Chances are...you've already handled this on your own.
