Pasta and Pizza: The Hangover Heroes, says doctor

Medical advisor, Dr Rashid Bani of Orange County CBD has just dropped a bombshell on traditional hangover cures. Forget the bland toast and black coffee; the real heroes for battling post-party blues are none other than the beloved duo: pasta and pizza!

The Hangover Conundrum:

Hangovers are more than just dehydration. They’re a complex cocktail of electrolyte imbalance, blood sugar fluctuations, and sleep disturbances, all thanks to our friend, alcohol. The symptoms? Headaches, nausea, and a feeling akin to being trampled by a herd of elephants.

Enter the Carb Crusaders: Pasta and Pizza

Now, here’s the twist in the tale. While you’ve probably been advised to stick to light, easy-to-digest foods, hearty carbohydrates found in pasta and pizza can be surprisingly effective in combating hangover symptoms. Let’s break it down:

Carb Power

Pasta: It’s not just comfort food; it’s a science-backed energy restorer. Pasta slowly replenishes your blood sugar levels, helping to banish that hangover lethargy.

Pizza: More than just a midnight snack, the crust delivers a much-needed blood sugar boost. Opt for healthier toppings to add nutritional value.

Secret Hydration

That tomato sauce isn’t just delicious – it’s also helping rehydrate your body, a key to hangover recovery.

Electrolyte Magic:

Cheese and tomatoes are more than toppings; they’re a powerhouse of sodium and potassium, vital for restoring electrolyte balance.

Mood Lifter:

Comfort foods have a psychological effect. A slice of pizza or a bowl of pasta might be the hug your serotonin levels need.

The Full Recovery Package: It’s Not Just About Food

While pasta and pizza can be surprisingly effective, they’re part of a broader hangover recovery strategy:

Hydration Station: Water is your best friend. Rehydrate to help your body bounce back.

Snooze to Soothe: Give your body the rest it needs to heal.

Move a Little: Light exercise can elevate your mood and energy.

Avoid More Alcohol: It only postpones the hangover.

Dr. Rashid Bani of Orange County CBD says: “In a surprising twist to hangover recovery, pasta and pizza emerge as unlikely yet effective heroes.

“So next time you find yourself battling the aftermath of a night out, remember this doctor’s advice: a slice of pizza and a bowl of pasta might just be your best allies.”

Leading aparthotel group Native is set to host Scottish alternative rock band, Fatherson on their private garden terrace next month.

When they’re not touring, Fatherson spends the rest of their time cooking up a storm – and sharing their recipes with fans through their ‘Cooking With Fatherson’ channels on their website. Their pizza pop-ups have become legendary amongst other bands backstage at festivals across the country and now they’re bringing their cooking to Native Edinburgh.

This exclusive ‘Cooking With Fatherson X Native’ event will be a chance for fans of the band to hang out and enjoy a pizza Fatherson on Native’s terrace. They’ve previously cooked for Lewis Capaldi so you’ll be in good company.
