The Real Hangover Cure


Until recently, I thought the best remedy for a hangover was coffee, plenty of water and sleep. Yet despite how ineffective that has always been for me, I continued to do it. Then one day I came across the YouTube video of an Aussie father who had a simple hangover cure of pure orange juice and raw egg that worked in 30 minutes. I thought that this was sure to be malarkey until I began to read all of the comments of just how effective this remedy was.

So of course I was elated to test this remedy on my roommate the morning I found her in agony on the couch wearing the same clothes that she partied in into the wee hours of the previous night. I didn't tell her what was in the concoction and being the hoverer that I am I watched her patiently until she drank each drop (which took forever because she is a slow drinker.) But surely enough a half hour later she was up and moving. Later she let me know that her once throbbing headache was completely gone. Check out the video below for details.



Why This Works?
So according to Reader's Digest 1,801 Home Remedies grapefruit, orange juice and tomato juice speed up the metabolism of alcohol, so that it works its way out of your system faster. The protein found in raw eggs restores many of the nutrients that your body loses as a result of the dehydration caused by mass alcohol consumption. Raw eggs supply selenium, iodine, phosphorus, molybdenum, choline, lutein, vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, E, D and K.
