Did You Know Bananas Can Cure Hangovers?

In European and American culture, it's hard to find a more popular fruit. Bananas are as common as mineral water or corn flakes.

Bananas are tasty, but I believe that we unconsciously eat them because each ripe fruit is literally loaded with important substances, which help a lot when it comes to curing hangover.

It is a totally affordable and effective solution which doesn't require any cooking.

Ripe bananas are very alkaline and soothing to the body. It's a natural stock of Vitamins C, B6, potassium, dietary fiber, manganese. A banana a day may help to prevent high blood pressure which is a common symptom after a drinking party. The magnesium in the banana helps relax the blood vessels that cause a hangover headache. The iron is important in stimulating the production of hemoglobin in the blood.

Nausea is one of the commonest hangover symptoms. You could always just eat a couple bananas along with a glass of water, but that won't help much.

One of the quickest hangover solutions is to make a banana milkshake with added honey. The banana helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels. The milk soothes the stomach and rehydrates your body. Bananas contain vitally important electrolytes which are severely depleted during heavy alcohol consumption.

Ingredients:

• 600ml full-fat milk, chilled;
• 2 tbsp clear honey;
• 1.5 tbsp double cream;
• 2 big, fresh, ripe bananas, sliced.

To make banana milkshake slightly more elaborate, add 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice.

Try to drink banana milkshake slowly. There's no need to hurry anyway. If you gulp this remedy you will probably feel sicker than before drinking. The stomach is upset with alcohol, so treat it respectively.

Avoid adding crushed ice in to the blender. A cold shake will put the stomach in stressful condition that certainly cannot help to cure hangovers. 

Buy some Strawberry & Banana frozen yogurt, place it into a glass with a couple of ounces of Ginger Ale. Eat this very slowly allowing the Ginger and Banana Yogurt to settle on your tummy. After half an hour drink a glass of ginger ale by itself. Your hangover symptoms should almost be gone.
