The 5 strangest things that help against a hangover

No, I was whistling down the street at half past seven this morning. A little dog next to me and a bouncing child as well. But if that wasn't the case for you and you maybe cycled past me towards bed at that time, I understand that too. The hangover comes later. I'm sharing the strangest things I've heard that people take and do against a hangover.

1. Suppository

There are people who insert a strong suppository of 1000 milligrams. Supposedly, you are rid of everything. I think I prefer a pounding head.

2. Norit

The best USP of Norit is that it helps against a hangover, although you will never hear people from the company say that. The idea of Norit is that it binds fluids and expels them as quickly as possible. This happens in the case of diarrhea, but also when the alcohol is raging through your body. The best thing is to take some Norit before you go to sleep. And no, it doesn't constipate you.

3. The old raw egg

I always found it hard to believe why this works, but I dove into the books and voilà, the answer: a raw egg contains a lot of cysteine. This helps break down the acetaldehyde that is formed in your body when you've drunk a lot.

4. Sambal with it?

Always craving Thai or Chinese after a colorful evening? The spicy food stimulates your digestion and gets your body working to digest and expel everything. Including that alcohol.

5. Run with that bite

It's probably the last thing you want to do, but get up, don't think, put on your Nikes and run to the nearest park or forest. Sweat all the misery out, open those lungs, look at nature, think: I'm NEVER doing this again and order a cup of herbal tea, that helps too.
