This article explores natural ways to alleviate hangover symptoms, focusing on hydration and the use of ginger. It highlights the importance of drinking water to combat dehydration and suggests ginger tea as a remedy for both nausea and low blood sugar.
We all dread what follows a big night out, with headaches, nausea and dehydration rearing their ugly heads. And things can go up a notch when we ring in the New Year. With so many so called 'hangover cures' out there, it's difficult to know what is actually good for you or what, like 'hair of the dog', will only delay the inevitable.
For those who would rather try natural remedies to sort out their heads, nutritionists have shared some of their best tips and tricks for battling the morning after. 1. Water Even though it seems so easy, we have all fallen victim to neglecting hydration when going on a booze up. This often leads to headaches, fatigue and a lack of energy, and just simply taking a glass of water to bed with you can do a world of good. Ensuring that you stay hydrated when hungover should be a number one priority, with even just a few drinks being enough to cause dehydration. Rhiannon Lambert, a Harley Street nutritionist and author of the book Re:Nourish (Yellow Kite, £19.99), says that she makes sure she drinks more water on days following alcohol consumption, even despite her not being a big drinker. Whether it's drinking water as soon as you get in or first thing in the morning, it's vital to stay on top of it, taking regular sips throughout the day. 2. Ginger Ginger has been an established cure in Chinese medicine due to the spice's anti-nausea benefits. This is also backed up by data, with a 2016 study concluding that ginger is 'an affective and inexpensive treatment for nausea'. If you want to tackle both dehydration and nausea at once, experts suggest it could be as easy as a cup of ginger tea, with nutritionist Rob Hobson recommending 1-2 tsp of ginger powder, half a lemon, and 2 tsp of honey topped up with boiling water. He said: 'The zingy flavour is very energising, and the honey will help to re-balance low blood sugar levels
