]]>Fatty foods stay in your stomach for longer which helps slow down the absorption of alcohol in your blood, but that doesn’t mean you should eat a lot of fried foods. Try to eat more healthy fats like salmon and avocados to feel full and ward off the hangover.
Adding some turmeric, cinnamon, kale, lemon, and beetroot to your meal is a great way to help support your liver and if you will be drinking alcohol make sure to eat plenty of these.
If you want to keep balanced blood sugar levels while you are drinking, avoid salty snacks as they can dehydrate you, and eat more slow-releasing carbohydrates. Olives, nuts, bread, and chickpea dip are all great for slowing down the absorption of alcohol and easing your hangover the next day.
If you do wake up with a slight hangover then fruit is your best friend, it will hydrate you and replace the vitamins you lost. A smoothie with bananas will restore your electrolytes and fruits like watermelon will hydrate you, so throw it all into a blender and enjoy.
