These 13 Foods Can Actually Help You Bounce Back"},"content":{"rendered":"

Bone Broth<\/p>\n

\"boneParker feierbach<\/p>\n

For a hangover remedy, Manaker recommends sipping on bone broth. Rich in minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium, she says bone broth can help rehydrate and replenish electrolytes. She adds that the protein will give you slow and steady energy while the gelatin and collagen can soothe your stomach lining and digestion, which might be affected by drinking.<\/p>\n

She recommends Kettle & Fire Lemongrass Ginger Bone Broth<\/a>, which has ginger that might relieve nausea. Kearney adds that ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties and might help protect the liver from damage.<\/p>\n

Chicken Noodle Soup<\/p>\n

Nothing beats a big bowl of chicken noodle soup<\/a> when you\u2019re feeling down. \u201cThis traditional comfort food has several properties that can help address hangover symptoms,\u201d Manaker says. This includes water and salt to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes; carbohydrates to stabilize blood sugar, which can fluctuate after drinking; and the warmth can ease nausea. <\/p>\n

White also recommends chicken noodle soup<\/a>. \u201cThe same way chicken soup can help you when you\u2019re sick, it\u2019ll fill some of the needs you have when you\u2019re hungover.\u201d <\/p>\n

Eggs<\/p>\n

Not only are eggs easy to make, but they\u2019re a good source of protein. You\u2019re gonna need that protein to process all the alcohol in your system. But White has a reminder: Just stick with eggs and maybe some toast. \u201cDon\u2019t go the extra step and put the bacon<\/a> and the sausage on it; you\u2019ll be bringing in all the grease,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Leafy Greens<\/p>\n

Leafy greens like spinach and kale have chlorophyll, which Kearney says can help neutralize toxins. Toss some spinach in a strawberry spinach salad<\/a> or saut\u00e9 kale with garlic (which Kearney says can also support liver detoxification). Spinach and kale are also key ingredients in our green smoothie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bananas<\/p>\n

Bananas are a great source of potassium. They\u2019re also easy to digest, so your stomach won\u2019t feel upset. On another note, coconut water is a great option and is high in potassium (and will give you some fluids), as well as orange juice and avocados.<\/p>\n

Check out some recipes loaded with potassium, such as fruit salad<\/a> and avocado toast.<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter & Whole Grain Crackers<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling a little nauseous, peanut butter<\/a> and crackers might help. \u201cThese simple snacks are not only easy to stomach, but they also contain a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats,\u201d Manaker says. She adds that the carbs can help stabilize blood sugar levels, while the protein and fat in the peanut butter provide a slow stream of energy.<\/p>\n

You can also combine two of our hangover foods into a banana peanut butter smoothie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carbs<\/p>\n

Carb-heavy foods like bread, crackers, sandwiches<\/a>, and pasta are typically easy to digest, which is what your body needs at this point. The myth that eating tacos, pizza, and burgers<\/a> will help \u201csoak up\u201d the alcohol is just wrong. \u201cGreasy food doesn\u2019t soak up anything; it\u2019s not soluble in water,\u201d White says. However, bread and things of that nature have high sodium content, so you\u2019re eating something digestible, and you\u2019re also getting the electrolytes your body needs.<\/p>\n

Smoothies<\/p>\n

Smoothies<\/a> are so easy to make (just cover your ears during the whole insanely loud blending part), and they can be really filling. They help with dehydration, and adding in berries\u2014like strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries\u2014as well as flax seeds and chia seeds, which are high in antioxidants, can make a great alternative to an unhealthy meal.<\/p>\n

Coconut Or Maple Water<\/p>\n

Kearney recommends coconut water to replenish electrolytes. Drink one on its own or toss one in a smoothie<\/a> for a hit of hydration.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s less common, maple water (made from the sap of maple trees) is also a natural source of electrolytes. \u201cIdeally, people would drink it before consuming alcohol, as data suggests drinking it before alcohol can increase the rate at which the alcohol is metabolized,\u201d Manaker says.<\/p>\n

Salmon<\/p>\n

Salmon is high in antioxidants, which can combat the inflammation that comes from drinking. \u201cIf you\u2019re hungover and you\u2019ve done a lot of drinking, you\u2019re likely inflamed,\u201d White said. \u201cIn some cases, you\u2019re dehydrated, you\u2019re puffy. You can actually see it visually.\u201d This will help with that. Salmon is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, making it a good food choice.<\/p>\n

We have plenty of salmon recipes<\/a> to try, like easy air-fryer salmon<\/a>, a spicy salmon bowl<\/a>, and grilled salmon packets.<\/p>\n

Watermelon<\/p>\n

Wonder why drinking at night makes you so thirsty in the morning? It\u2019s because you\u2019re dehydrated and your body is craving liquids. White suggests watermelon<\/a> because of its high water content and its amino acids.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour liver is obviously affected when you consume alcohol, and when you take in some type of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, then that might help because the liver has been too busy dealing with all that alcohol,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Celery<\/p>\n

\u201cCelery is high in potassium and contains sodium, which is an important electrolyte,\u201d Kearney says. Snack on celery sticks with peanut butter or blend them in a juice or smoothie for hydration.<\/p>\n
