1. Drink Water

You’re dehydrated and you’ve got dry mouth. Hopefully, your drunken self left a glass of water by the bedside. Drink up to restore that balance. Drinking plenty of water is one of the best tips to survive a hangover.

2. Have a Big Breakfast

You probably feel sick and queasy, but eating a hearty breakfast will help. Eggs are particularly good at this, as they’re packed with protein and cysteine, which can help mop out toxins in your body.

3. Take Some anti-inflammatory Painkillers

Different painkillers work through different pathways, but anti-inflammatory ones like ibuprofen are particularly awesome. As long as you know you can safely have painkillers, pop an ibuprofen to help your body heal.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Replace Those Electrolytes

Drink sports drinks, eat something reasonably nutritious or take a multivitamin. You need to restore vitamins and minerals to your poor, aching body before you’ll start to feel better.

What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!

5. Avoid Supposed ‘hangover Cures’

Sadly, most hangover ‘cures’ have little to no evidence actually backing them up. Any pills, oils or potions that claim to magically cure hangovers are probably lying. Save your money. Yes, this goes for ‘all-natural detox teas’ as well.

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Do Not Drink More

Hair of the dog can be tempting, but it is not going to help. All you’re doing is continuing the cycle and making your symptoms worse. Don’t bother – give your body time to recover.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Block out Light

Light-sensitivity is a common symptom of a hangover. Blocking it out, with heavy curtains or a sleeping mask, will alleviate your discomfort and help you get more sleep.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

8. Approach Caffeine with Caution

Yes, caffeine can help reduce the grogginess and may even feel necessary if you have to work. But it’s more likely to make you pee more and make your symptoms worse. Skip the coffee. Have more water.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

9. Keep the Volume down

Not only will peace and quiet help lessen your pounding headache, but you’ll hopefully get more sleep. Pop in the earplugs and turn your phone onto mute.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

10. Shower

While its uncertain whether a shower will lessen your hangover, it may help you wake up and at least you won’t feel dirty. A positive mental attitude works wonders.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

11. Rest up

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Your body needs time to rest and recover. Get some sleep. You’ll feel better after a nap.
