The best foods to eat after consuming alcohol

1. Coconut water: By drinking nature’s sports drink, you are not only rehydrating, but also restoring essential electrolytes that are often lost with alcohol-induced dehydration.

2. Fresh juice: Fresh juice detoxifies the liver, so after a night of overindulging, your liver will graciously thank you. It’s also easily digestible, meaning the nutrients are more easily absorbed into your bloodstream.

3. Apple cider vinegar: This little miracle worker helps to rebalance the body’s pH — which can be thrown off by alcohol — and boosts your bodily stores of essential minerals like magnesium, sodium, and calcium.

4. Bananas: Bursting with potassium, bananas can replenish the alcohol-ravaged body’s vastly depleted stores. They are also extremely gentle on the digestive system, so it’s a great way to get some fuel in your body if you’re feeling nauseous.

5. Eggs: Eggs contain cysteine, which is a substance that breaks down the alcohol-induced toxin that causes hangovers. They also contain taurine, which can even help protect against liver disease.

6. Chicken broth: The aforementioned cysteine in chicken helps the liver work efficiently while the broth works to rehydrate your body and restore sodium levels. If you make your own stock, be sure to use ethically-raised, pastured chickens whenever you can.

7. Tomatoes: The lycopene in tomatoes works to reduce inflammation in the body — which is a huge plus after overindulging on the alcohol.

8. Oats: By neutralizing acids in the body, oats can give you a much needed boost on a sluggish, hungover morning. They also replenish magnesium and those important B vitamins, which are likely depleted after a night of drinking.

9. Ginger or Peppermint Tea: For a soothing brew, look no further than your favorite herbal tea. Studies show that ginger tea may reduce nausea and motion sickness.

10. Pickle Juice: The sour liquid contains vinegar, salt, and water, which can help rehydrate and replenish electrolyte and sodium levels.
