The party season is upon us!
Everything from weddings, to never-ending New Year celebrations, give us a reason to let loose and party like there is no tomorrow.
And what goes hand in hand with a crazy party night?
Alcohol! But it is all fun and games till you get hit by a massive hangover.
Here are some home remedies to help you deal with that.
1. Fluids
The easiest way to deal with a hangover.
Consume a lot of water, coconut water, sports drinks and soup to wash out all that alcohol out of your system.
2. Breakfast
The best thing to do for your body, after waking up with a terrible hangover, is to eat a filling plate of breakfast.
However, try to avoid greasy food and go for something that is easy to digest.
3. Ginger
Works like magic in reducing nausea and vomiting.
Take a small piece of ginger and nibble on it.
4. Honey
Honey can help you beat the harmful effects of alcohol.
Mix a spoon full of honey in a glass of water and 'bottoms up'!
5. Sleep
Sleep and then sleep some more.
Give your body some rest after a wild night.
Nothing beats a hangover like a good long nap.
