10 Weirdest Hangover Cures that Totally Work

It happens to the best of us. Too many bevvies and an early start the next day. What are some great ways to sure a hangover? Here are some of the best!

 1. Coconut water wellness

• It’s true – best from a real coconut, but the bottled stuff is fine.
• It contains five essential electrolytes – sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus.
• This means it is more Isotonic, with less carbs and calories than a typical sports drink.

2. Miso soup saviour

• Contains all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.
• Restores beneficial probiotics to the intestines.
• Is a good vegetable-quality source of B vitamins (especially B12)

3. Eggs are excellent

• No, you don’t need to eat them raw! You are not Rocky!
• One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.
• Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.

4. Cordial cures ya

• The Australian government does not like cordial at all: Sweet drinks such as juice, cordial and soft drinks may cause health problems for children if consumed in large amounts. Problems may include tooth decay, diarrhoea and a poor appetite.
• I don’t care what they say – cordial rocks for curing a hangover – get swillin!
• Also has fewer calories than some soft drinks.

5. Seafood saves ya

• Never tried this one myself, never will
• The omega 3 and fatty acids can help you
• Think oysters, salmon and scallops. But yuck!

6. Homemade happy hangover brew

• 1 cup of ginger tea
• 1 paracetamol tablet
• 1 spoon of honey (or maple syrup for vegans) + cinnamon

7. The Bondi cure

• Go to Bondi Beach
• Remove clothes
• Jump in
• Please note this will not work if you are anywhere else but Australia, sorry

8. Pickles are perfect

• I love pickles, especially Israeli pickles that my friend Susie got me into
• Brine is so salty and good when you are hungover
• Use cucumbers that are small, young, dark green, firm, and have warty skin

9. Hair of the dog

• This always works – just don’t keep on drinking!
• It works by restoring the chemical levels in your brain – that’s what a drunk guy told me
• White wine or vodka, my bevvies of choice

10. Chilli challenge

• An oldie but a goodie!
• Chilli peppers have amazingly high levels of vitamins and minerals. Just 100 g provides (in % of recommended daily allowance)
• Chillies contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium
