It’s Important To Live A Balanced Life
As a Live Leaner, you live a balanced life.
It’s ok to enjoy an occasional 1-2 drinks of alcohol and celebrate a night out with friends.
However, one of the “drawbacks” of Living Lean is that since our bodies are well oiled healthy machines, we don’t necessarily process alcohol very well.
In other words, drinking just a few more than the typical 1-2 social drinks, can lead to bad hangovers.
During my partying days, I remember I could hit up a house party for pre-drinks, then hit up the clubs, then come home at 4am and wake up the next day feeling completely fine.
Now if I go out for a few social drinks and come home by 1am, the next morning I’m usually feeling the symptoms of that nasty hangover.
In previous posts, I’ve talked about:
Remember, it’s important to eat a good meal before the festivities start.
When you have a full stomach, the alcohol will start breaking down before your body absorbs it, rather than hitting your bloodstream fast.
These 26 healthy hangover foods are high in the following nutrients, which are necessary to help the body recover from stress, and speed up the elimination of the alcohol from your system:
- Amino acids
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Antioxidants
In other words, you can now skip the Tylenol.

Bottom Line On The 26 Best Healthy Hangover Foods To Help Cure Your Hangover Faster
To avoid nasty hangovers, your best solution is moderation.
Enjoy 1-2 celebratory drinks of alcohol, and you should be fine.
I prefer clear liquors like vodka mixed with water and lemon or lime.
Also, don’t forget to get in a workout.
As crazy as it sounds, one way to eliminate the toxins is to sweat them out.
Just because you don’t feel like working out, being hungover doesn’t give you a free ticket to skip your workout.
This sweaty hangover detox workout is a good workout you can do at home.
After Your Workout Take A Warm Epsom Salt Bath
Once you finish your workout, throw in some epsom salts into a warm bath, and relax.
The epsom salts are important, because they contain magnesium, which can be absorbed by the body.
This is important since magnesium is one of the minerals that can become depleted after drinking a lot of alcohol.
You can also consider supplementing with this magnesium supplement.
