Hangover Cures that I have Tried

This is a list of hangover “cures” I have tried and I think work – well for me!

Pour Yourself Some Fruit Juice

Drinking fruit juice which naturally contains fructose, will help you burn the alcohol out of your system faster. Whether it be orange, tomato, grapefruit or your favourite fruit juice, the fructose is the key to the cure!

Eggs Are Not Just For Chickens!

Did you know that eating eggs can help cure a hangover? This is because eggs have a natural protein called albumin in them. Albumin has an osmotic effect that helps to rehydrate your cells after the dehydrating effects of the alcohol. Eat them any way you want, fried, scrambled, poached or better yet, raw! The effect is marvellous.

Crackers and honey

Eating crackers with honey on them is yet another way to flush the alcohol out of your system. Honey contains a very concentrated amount of fructose in it, that again, rids the body of alcohol faster.

Water

Drink plenty of water to replenish your dehydrated cells. Do so on the night that you drink, before you go to bed and immediately when you rise in the morning to relieve the effects of the hangover.

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz Oh What a Relief It Is!

Just from my own experience, taking an Alka Seltzer when you rise in the morning after the fact will help heal your throbbing head. Add 2 aspirin with the Alka Seltzer and the combined effect will prove itself a worthy cure.

Have a Nice Cup of Coffee

Try drinking a few cups of coffee with your hangover. The caffeine in the coffee acts as a vasoconstrictor that helps to shrink dilated blood vessels that are causing your headache.

Cup of Tea and Honey

Better yet have a cup of hot tea with honey in it and kill two birds with one stone! 

Sometimes I try them all at breakfast!

Heart Attack

Until now, no blood test has been able to give an indication of a person's risk of heart failure. However,  a team in America have adapted a test normally used to establish if someone is having a heart attack to predict one years in advance.
The more sensitive test identified proteins in the blood that signal heart cells have been dying in seemingly healthy people with no outward signs of heart disease.
The development could allow those at high risk to take action such as adopting a healthier lifestyle and taking drugs to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Now this affects me, as a diabetic I am advised to take medicine to keep my blood pressure and cholesterol levels low. I will be speaking to my doctor soon!

World Diabetes Day

World Diabetes Day is the primary global awareness campaign of the diabetes mellitus world and is held on November 14 of each year. It was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in response to the alarming rise of diabetes around the world. World Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community. While the campaigns last the whole year, the day itself marks the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
As a diabetic with type 1 having to inject insulin each day I thank the discoverers for my health.
