Is that an elephant tap-dancing on my head?

 

 

 

The Bite: The search for a hangover cure is centuries old, so you would think there would be one by now. While no one thing is the silver bullet (definitely excuse the pun), there are a few simple, natural ways to ease the pain without resorting to synthetic chemical-laden meds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits

 

The simplest cures are the best—drink water and go back to bed. Alcohol dehydrates your body, so try to drink as much water as alcohol while you’re out on the town and sleep in to rest the body. Recent studies show that prickly pear extract can alleviate the symptoms of a severe hangover. You have to take it about five hours prior to your first drink, but, as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A virgin Bloody Mary is a classic hangover cure for a reason—tomato juice is high in fructose. Tomato and orange juice will help flush the toxins and replenish lost vitamin C. Drinking depletes your bod! y of needed vitamins and minerals, so increasing your Vitamin B intake before drinking helps stave off later ill effects.

 

 

 

Personally SpeakingYou got it – it’s all about New Years… we are both loading up on time-release Vitamin B in an effort to prevent any January 1st repercussions. Clearly, we could just abstain, but we all know that’s not going to happen.

 

 

 

Wanna Try?

 

Jigsaw Activated B w/ SRT – they don’t SAY it works as a hangover cure, but trust us, give it a shot before going out – it’s kept us going throughout the holiday runaround. Glaceau Vitamin Water—Revive flavor contains fructose, electrolytes, and vitamin C with all natural flavors and colors. Prickly Pear Extract—the prickly pear is hardy plant, native to the U.S. People have been using it for its nutritional and medicinal benefits for centuries ($5.95/100 capsules). 365 Organic Tomato Juice—100% juice from Whole Foods. And regardless of your pounding head, steer clear of acetaminophen (found in Tylenol and other painkillers) after drinking—if you thought that the booze was bad for the liver, mixing the two is even wo! rse.
