Hangover cures that work and won't cost the earth

If you're here, you're probably hungover.

Long gone are the days you could step out on a Friday or Saturday for a few vinos without a care in the world. Even the thought is enough to induce a sore head in some. As time goes on, we become more susceptible to hangovers but that doesn't mean the party should stop.

There are plenty of old wives' tales telling you what prevents a hangover. The truth is, nothing will remove it entirely. However, there are great methods to help subdue the issue you're facing, whether it's headaches, illness, or embarrassing memories.

Dietician and and nutriotionist Dt. Lokendra Tomar revealed the easy, cheap and effective foods we should consume to battle the nastiest of hangovers.

Bananas

Potassium levels decrease when dealing with a hangover so consuming a banana will help replenish your stocks, as it contains an adequate amount of the mineral.

You can either have one or two whole bananas or a banana smoothie with a few drops of honey to get relief from most hangover symptoms.

Honey

Honey contains fructose, which helps to neutralise the negative impact of alcohol on your body. It also provides relief from the hangover as it also helps digest the alcohol better.

Take 3-4 teaspoons of honey after each hour (post-hangover) till you feel yourself getting better. You can increase the dosage according to the severity of your hangover.

Tomato juice

A glass of tomato juice can tackle dehydration due to excessive alcohol consumption. Also, due to its fructose content, tomato helps in metabolising the alcohol present in your body.
