Oooohh, My Aching Head!

You may have had a great night last night only to find yourself paying dearly for it in the morning with a hangover. Excessive drinking can lead to a morning that you will want to forget. Have no fear as there is a natural way that may help this problem, the banana honey sandwich.

Why Does It Work So Well?

This easily made combination is packed with some goodness that makes it the perfect antidote to even the toughest hangover.

Just what makes this so effective?

This sandwich works wonders in several ways.

Firsts, the bread is a great way to soak up the alcohol This will help to slow down the effects of any lingering alcohol that still may be in your system.

At the same time, all three components that make up the sandwich will give you energy with the simple carbs it provides. You actually may feel instantly more awake as the honey in particular will help provide you with fructose and sucrose.

But there is more....You see, the bananas will also give you potassium.

Potassium is an electrolyte that you deplete the more you drink. Taking in potassium will get rid of that muscle fatigue and weakness that is felt with a hangover. Also, the bananas are very alkaline, this means they will act as a natural antacid and neutralize the acids that are in your stomach.

One of the great things about this natural hangover cure is the effect honey has on acetaldehyde.

The toxic substance that makes us feel so better is mostly attributed to acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is created when the body tries to break down alcohol, this leads to headaches and other symptoms. Acetaldehyde can be neutralized by fructose which is found in honey. This means honey can help you break down the toxins that are making you feel sick.

Summary

So if you find yourself hungover this morning try the banana and honey sandwich. It will have you back at it in no time.

Interesting! I'm not big on honey, but I've always found a banana helpful when I have a hangover, especially if I've lost my appetite over it. A banana seems to reboot me.

Yep that has always known to help but including bread and honey just adds to the recovery

I'll have to try this. I generally find myself chugging 64 ozs of gatorade lol.

Lol, whatever it takes

Arginine and pre performance enhancer drinks/mixes are the (one of) only thing that work to zap a hang over fast. Reason: They are designed to increase blood flow which can help with the hang over headache and the heavy body feeling. I've tried this numerous times and it always works. The one thing it can't cure though is the tiredness. But at least the physical pain is gone.
