WE Nutrition: Your Nutrition, Your Way
📺 If you suspect that tonight’s bbc documentary “Meat, a threat to our planet” will inspire you to cut back on your meat consumption, are there any nutritional considerations you should be making sure you’ve got… https://www.instagram.com/p/B5R9CG7FK7F/?igshid=olr4069gayi8
😖 That banging in your head? Nausea? That’s dehydration, imbalance of nutrients in your body and some less than ideal sleep. It’s a hangover.
🦠 What’s going on?
Alcohol is essentially a poison (albeit sometimes a fun poison) that our bodies have to deal with and process to make safe. It swamps our bodies, so the side effects can vary from a minor headache to a whole body melt-down. The jury is still out on exactly what makes the symptoms worse, which means that cures come in all shapes and sizes.
☕️ Caffeine?
Caffeine, like alcohol, is a diuretic - makes you pee - so can cause dehydration and worsening the problem. Equally caffeine is a stimulant so it wakes us up. You’re probably running on less than the ideal amount of sleep, not to mention that the quality of sleep is usually bad, so if you feel the need to, go for it, but guzzle that water down too!
🥓 Fry up?
A crappy night sleep often means a bigger appetite (once the nausea has passed).
You’d be better off with a more balanced meal with some slow release carbs. Think granary bread, a wrap, porridge or pasta. This helps to balance out lower blood glucose levels. Feel free to throw some eggs onto the toast but a full on greasy fry up might not perk you up.
🐶 Hair of the dog?
A hangover is essentially alcohol withdrawal, so you can see how a bloody mary might hit the spot the next day BUT it’s just delaying the inevitable.
Minimise the damage before?
🍸 Try choosing lighter drinks if you know you’re suscpetible to red wine hangovers (this is potentially due to the congeners in alcoholic drinks, which there are more of in darker drinks)
🥪 Eat something before or with your drinks
💧 More fluid - consider a glass of water for every alcoholic drink..

💦 Rehydrate. Rehydrate. Rehydrate.
🥙 Slow release carbs.
🍇 A little sugar, like a glass of fruit juice or whole fruit.
🌳 Fresh air (and a bit of movement)
🤭 You might want to try more bland foods if your stomach is feeling a little sensitive......
