After-party pick-me-up recipes

It’s getting to that time of year when the calendar becomes filled up with Christmas social events whether it’s family get-togethers, work parties or drinks with friends. No matter how fun these festive frivolities can be, the morning-after hangover is somewhat inevitable. 


Try starting the next day with an egg to help you bounce back after a night of drinking. One of their key benefits is that they contain hangover-busting cysteine.  Cysteine is an amino acid which helps to break down acetaldehyde, a nasty by-product of alcohol metabolism that is responsible for the debilitating symptoms of a hangover, including headaches and nausea.


Eggs are also a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and other essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus.


With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some recipes to try next time you’re hungover which are filling enough to get you through the rough mornings and easy enough for the hungover mind to conquer.
