The short answer: when you're hungover, reach for easy-to-digest carbs, hydrating foods, and gentle protein — eggs, bananas, oats, toast, and soup — plus plenty of fluids. Skip the heavy grease.
The best hangover foods
- Eggs — protein and cysteine, gentle on the stomach
- Bananas — potassium to replace lost electrolytes
- Oats and toast — steady, easy carbs
- Soup or broth — fluids plus sodium
- Watermelon and ginger — hydration and stomach relief
What to skip
The greasy fry-up is a myth for the morning after — fat before drinking can help, but after, it mostly upsets your stomach. Go easy on coffee, and never reach for more alcohol.
