GET WET & GO BANANAS! Quick & Easy HANGOVER CURES Part III ๐๐๐(VIDEO)๐๐๐
Greetings Steemit Friends!
In my previous post (Part II) of my Quick and Easy Hangover Cures series, you learned how sex, bacon, a Bloody Mary cocktail and a cup of ginger tea can help to cure a nasty hangover.
In this post weโll discuss how to keep yourself well-hydrated to both remedy a hangover as well as prevent one. Please note that bits of this post and video tutorial are in-depth "refreshers" of Parts I and II!
To remedy your post-party veisalgia, the following beverages & foods will help replenish your body from potassium and/or vitamin B12 & C loss:
1. Bananas ...
Bananas are known to help calm upset stomachs and are full of electrolytes, magnesium and potassium. The prep time is a minimal. Just peel, eat and feel better!
In fact, a medium sized banana is jam packed with 422 mg of potassium.
If youโre not too groggy and can handle the sound of a blender, try a banana milkshake. In addition to bananas, milk soothes the tummy.
To give your shake a kick, sprinkle some spicy cayenne pepper on top. Not only will it help to ease your hangover, cayenne pepper will also pep up your sinuses.
2. Coconut water...
Coconut water is naturally delicious and refreshing and it's also fat and cholesterol free. A serving of coconut water has 15 x the potassium found in sports drinks! That's about the potassium equivalent of two small bananas.
Not only is coconut water yummy it also makes a great mixer for cocktails!
3. Tomato Juice...
For what tomato juice lacks in taste appeal, it makes up for in nourishing vitamins and minerals. It's an excellent source of vitamins A, C, K and B6. It's also loaded with hangover healing minerals such as iron, magnesium and hydration regulating potassium.
So, go ahead and crack open a can!
Tomato juice is also the main ingredient in a Bloody Mary Cocktail...
This libation's ingredients blend several hangover cures into one concoction. In addition to tomato juice, ingredients like black pepper, horseradish and hot sauce add heat to really help sweat out that hangover.
To make your Mary a total hottie, opt for an habanero chili pepper hot sauce rather than tobasco. You can also add vodka to your cocktail for a Hair of the Dog cure. However, it's probably a better idea to make your Mary a virgin (sans alcohol).
You'll also want to pre-plan for this remedy. Save yourself some time and pain and make your homemade mix before the big night out!
I'll be revisiting this cocktail in a full post with a photos, recipe and video how-to in the near future so stay tuned...
4. Water...
Alcohol dehydrates your body and a dehydrated body needs replenishing. Good ol' H2O is an effective and easy way to both cure and prevent a hangover!
If you need to drink something flavored, opt for a sports drink loaded with electrolytes.

Quick Tip
Avoid Coffee!!!
I love hot coffee in the morning to get me going, but a cup of joe is inadvisable as coffee acts as a diuretic. Refer back to H2O!
Whatโs your favorite hangover remedy?

For many years I thought coffee was the magic along with tomato juice. Now I know the coffee was a bad Idea. 6 years ago I developed the most successful hangover cure ever! I stopped drinking. Cheers! Thanks for the tips just in case.
Yes, not drinking is the best prevention for a hangover! Even so, some of these cures do the body good anytime.

How rich and decadent! I imagine you create a very tempting brunch menu with those ingredients!
So, thanks goes out to the older generation passing down tips & traditions. One thing I learned from my dad & his crazy college buddy. If you're a whiskey drinker, do a whiskey & water. About half whiskey half water. That way you get hydrated while you get tipsy & you won't get hung over.
Or drink on the rocks... similiar effect.... it's watered down. Thanks for the tip @lone-sliver!
