Cracking the hangover blues with eggs
With the festive season about to kick off, it’s time to prep for the dreaded ‘morning after’ hangover.
The perfect remedy is closer than you think. Eggs! Cracking into a few can help soothe hangover symptoms and fight off the munchies that normally lead to eating unhealthy foods, like a dodgy kebab or a whole pack of Haribos.
One of the key benefits of eggs - among an array of vital nutrients - is that they contain the hangover-busting cysteine. This is an essential amino acid that reduces nausea, headaches, and sometimes stress and anxiety by breaking down acetaldehyde, one of the worst by-products of alcohol metabolism.
Eggs aren’t only quick, easy and versatile to cook with, but also packed with the nutritional goodness of vitamin D, vitamin B1, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, selenium, and zinc. Being protein-dense means they help us feel fuller for longer, so no need for unhealthy snacking.
