So you had a few too many last night. Your head is pounding, your stomach upset and you feel like death! You reach for coffee, painkillers and a full fat breakie. WRONG! Here is what you should do:
*If you have never had chlorella before, have quarter of a teaspoon. If you are any medication, please check with your doctor or nutritionist before taking chlorella.
Here is what not to do (which is what most people do):
Hope you feel better
- Have a cold shower. If it is winter have warm shower, but then turn on cold tap and wet yourself with the cold water quickly before getting out of the shower.
- Drink a pint of water with lemon
- Place a heaped teaspoon of chlorella* in a small glass and mix with some water and drink it
- Eat half a banana or a whole one if you can manage it
- Have a healthy breakfast such as eggs (preferably not fried), avocado, fruit, tomatoes, leafy greens, roast vegetables and/or a little goat's cheese.
- Have a hangover smoothie (check out my recipe for the super hangover smoothie).
- Chew on a small piece of ginger
- Have a cup of coffee but drink two glasses of water after as coffee dehydrates and you will already be dehydrated from the alcohol
- Drink lots of water throughout the day
- Drink some coconut water
- Drink peppermint, ginger and/or green tea
- For lunch have a bowl of vegetable or miso soup and/or a plate of wholegrain rice/noodles/pasta with tomato sauce and a side salad of leafy greens - add garlic and onion to your food.
- Chew on a raw garlic clove
- Have a whole grain cracker with honey
- If you continue to feel bad during the day, keep chewing on the ginger
- Sleep whenever you can
- Go for a swim in the sea
- Go out in the country
*If you have never had chlorella before, have quarter of a teaspoon. If you are any medication, please check with your doctor or nutritionist before taking chlorella.
Here is what not to do (which is what most people do):
- Don't eat a heavy English breakfast
- Don't overload with carbs
- Avoid oily food
- Don't start drinking again
- Avoid unnatural pain killers
Hope you feel better
