Top 5 foods to eat after a party (and no, raclette isn't one of them)

Let's be honest. The morning after a party, you don't want steamed kale or organic quinoa. You want grease, comfort food, a dripping burger. And yet… you're going to have to make a choice: survive or suffer.

Luckily, we've listed the 5 best foods to favour so you don't make things worse.

🥚 1. Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein and very simple to prepare.

Recommended prep: scrambled eggs + wholemeal bread. A simple meal.

🍌 2. Bananas

After a night out, bananas are one of the best natural sources of potassium.

“The increased potassium excretion linked to ethanol can lead to muscle weakness and prolonged fatigue.” Ylikahri R et al., Scandinavian Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1974

💡 Bonus: they're easy to digest, perfect if your stomach is churning.

🍲 3. Vegetable broth

Warm and comforting. Homemade broth (or even a stock cube in a pinch) delivers sodium, water and gentleness to your digestive system.

🍍 4. Fresh fruit (pineapple, kiwi, orange)

Rich in water and vitamin C, they're easy to eat even when your appetite is low.

🍞 5. Wholemeal bread (or oats)

Complex carbohydrates to recharge your brain's batteries without causing violent blood sugar spikes.

🚫 What you should avoid

• Raclette: fat + salt + alcohol = guaranteed indigestion.
  
  

• Pizza or kebab: great for your tastebuds, disastrous for your digestion.
  
  

• Sweets: cause a blood sugar crash after an illusory energy spike. These are insulin-dependent foods.

📦 In summary:

Don't forget to go easy on your body while it recovers from the excess, by giving it the foods it needs. Sorry, but forget the raclette. (Well… just for today.)
