Yesterday we had the annual staff pool party at our house, and as one would expect, a few had a bit too much fun! This reminded me to share some great hangover remedies for those all-day barbecues and weekends at the beach. After all, let’s face it, a hangover doesn’t look so pretty…

1. Consume one glass of water for every alcoholic beverage.

2. Eat a high protein and high fat snack before bed time (yes, I said “high fat,” it’s not a typo). I like natural peanut butter on whole grain toast.

3. Also before bed, take a B vitamin supplement which tends to get depleted when consuming alcohol.

4. The next morning drink a glass of coconut water which contains potassium and electrolites to help the body rehydrate. Also apply a hydrating mask to your face.

5. Mid-day a fresh vegetable juice is a great pick-me-up.

After all this you should be good for a glass of wine with dinner.
