Eggs-tra help for festive hangover recovery
The Christmas period is often about overindulging, whether it’s a few too many glasses of Bucks Fizz, a creamy Baileys after dinner, or one too many eggnogs by the fire, festive drinking can take its toll the next day. Breakfast is a crucial start to your recovery, and protein-rich eggs are an ideal choice support speeding up your return to health.
British Lion eggs are your hangover’s new star on top of the tree, a true Christmas miracle in a shell. Packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, eggs are a nutritional powerhouse that can help to ease hangover symptoms and boost recovery. Their secret weapon, cysteine, an amino acid that helps break down acetaldehyde, the trouble-making by-product of alcohol that causes nausea, headaches, and fatigue.
Nutritionist Dr Emma Derbyshire explains: “Hangover eating habits vary from wanting to eat everything in sight to struggling to face a glass of water. Choosing something light but energising is key, and that’s where eggs come in. They’re rich in nutrients and cysteine, which may help to offset the effects of acetaldehyde, the substance behind that pounding head and uneasy stomach.”
Eggs also contain vitamin D, vitamin B1, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, selenium, and zinc, helping replenish what your body may lose after a night out. Their high protein content also helps to keep hunger at bay, helping you to avoid unhealthy snacking while you recover.
So, as the festive season kicks into full swing, there’s no need to scramble when the morning-after misery strikes. British Lion eggs have you covered with three easy, delicious recipes to help crack your hangover, and get you back to feeling your best.
