‘Hangover-busting’ household staple can help you battle a sore head this Christmas
Over the course of the Christmas season, we will typically have three hangovers, each lasting roughly eight hours.
That would be the same as losing out on a whole day of joyous celebration.
Additionally, 57% of drinkers believe that the effects worsen with age, with 46% telling respondents that their sore heads and swollen stomachs linger longer than they did five years ago.
Consequently, 70% of respondents claimed to have tried purported remedies but 30% had not discovered any that were effective.
The traditional full English breakfast continues to be the go-to pick-me-up.
Eggs were in a number of the best recommendations.
According to dietitian Dr. Carrie Ruxton, eggs contain the hangover-busting amino acid cysteine, which breaks down acetaldehyde, one of the worst byproducts of alcohol metabolism, and lessens headaches and nausea.
Additionally, eggs include high-quality protein, which has been shown to help regulate appetite and prevent you from reaching for comfort foods heavy in calories later in the day.
According to a representative for British Lion Eggs, the company that commissioned the survey, “The research clearly shows that Brits are suffering from hangovers, with many of us turning to food to help us through.”
Although excessive alcohol consumption is never encouraged, if it does happen to you, eggs are a delightful, affordable, and nutrient-dense dish that can help you get back on track.
