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

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

Fortunately, we've listed the 5 best foods to help you recover without making things worse. Your liver will be all the more grateful.

 

 

🥚 1. Eggs

Eggs are rich in cysteinean amino acid that helps your liver transform acetaldehyde (the substance responsible for hangovers) into a harmless substance.

"Cysteine plays a central role in hepatic detoxification, notably via glutathione synthesis." Zakhari S., Alcohol Research & Health, 2006

Suggested preparation: scrambled eggs + wholemeal bread. A simple but effective meal to support your body.

 

 

🍌 2. Bananas

After a party, your body lacks potassiumBananas are one of the best natural sources. It helps you avoid cramps and gently recharge your reserves.

"Ethanol-related increased potassium excretion 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 turned.

 

 

🍲 3. Vegetable broth

Moisturizing, remineralizing, warm and comforting. The homemade broth (or even a cube in a hurry) brings sodium, water and softness to your digestive tract.

 

 

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

Rich in vitamin C and digestive enzymes, they boost your immune system and help your liver deal with excess toxins.

 

 

🍞 5. Wholemeal bread (or oats)

From complex carbohydrates to recharge the brain's batteries without causing violent glycemic spikes.

 

 

🚫 What to avoid

• Raclette fat + salt + alcohol = guaranteed indigestion.
  
  

• Pizza or kebab : good for your taste buds, catastrophic for your liver.
  
  

• Sweets Sugary foods: cause a glycemic crash after an illusory energy peak. We're talking here about insulin-dependent foods.

 

📦 To sum up:

 

Don't forget to take it easy on your body as it recovers from excess, by giving it the food it needs. Sorry, but forget the raclette (for today, anyway).
