3. Green And Clean

Sure, when you’ve got a pounding headache and a ravenous stomach, a plate of salty chips seems like the perfect remedy. But if you want to actually feel better, and not just use your hangover as an excuse to eat junk food, you should head to Nama, a raw vegan food joint in west London.

The great thing about raw food is that your body absorbs the maximum amount of nutrients it can from your meal – and because you’re largely consuming plants, you can have your fill and still feel great.

Try the spiced coconut porridge: it’s packed with nuts, dates, hemp and cinnamon, which helps to balance your blood sugar. The Blood Cleanser juice will also give you a wake up call like no other.

4. Carb Loading

If you’re going to do it, do it right.

London is full of sumptuous bakeries serving freshly baked loaves and pastries; Euphorium Bakery are renowned for their over-sized, butter-laced croissants but there really are only two options when it comes to hangover breakfasts: Breads-etcetera in Clapham, where queues snake around the block for the self-serve, self-toasting bottomless bread experience, and, of course, the bread board at Ottolenghi in Islington, which includes slices of the divine, in-house sourdough alongside your choice of melt-in-the-mouth pastry.

Bread acts like a sponge, soaking up any leftover booze in your body.

5. A Little Bit Of Spice

There’s a bit of a myth about eating spicy food to cure a hangover – the truth is, spicy food causes dehydration, and chances are, that’s only going to make you feel worse.

However, what a fiery bowl of miso broth or a chilli-laced scrambled egg does do is distract your body from its woeful feelings. The heat of the food will also encourage you to drink more while you’re eating it, giving your body some much-needed liquids.
