Before a night of heavy drinking, it is advisable to consume foods rich in protein, electrolytes and other nutrients.
What you eat before drinking alcohol can have a big impact on how you feel at the end of the night, or the next morning.
In fact, choosing the right foods before drinking will also help control hunger, balance electrolytes and reduce some of the negative effects associated with alcohol.
Conversely, choosing other foods can leave you bloated, dehydrated, and heartburned.
Here are some recommended foods to eat before drinking:
1. Eggs
2. Oats
3. Bananas
4. Salmon
5. Greek yogurt
6. Chia pudding
7. Strawberries, blackberries and blueberries
8. Asparagus
9. Melon
10. Sweet potatoes
11. Avocado
12. Quinoa
13. Beets
Foods to avoid
Avoid spicy foods, chocolates, sodas and caffeine.
Even foods like chips, for example, can worsen bloating and fluid retention caused by alcohol.
Finally, make sure you avoid refined carbohydrates and foods like white bread, pasta and sweets.
These foods, along with fizzy drinks - can cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate, increasing the risk of overeating late at night.
Very important: Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the night to reduce the chances of morning hangover symptoms.
