Hangover Cures from Around Asia<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Glowing like a beacon\nis one of the things I worry about on a night of bar hopping, but what about\nthose nights when things go a bit too far and you end up enjoying one (or four,\nI only count the fingers on one hand) drink too many?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week was that\ntime of the year again. When many of us dive overboard for a week of overindulgence\nand then start writing down the same list of unresolved promises, that annual\nbucket (with a hole in the bottom) list of not-to-do resolutions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the party comes\nthe hangover, the price many of us have to pay for those few extra drinks or\nthat one for the road. The symptoms of a dreaded hangover are all too familiar.\nYou wake up with a throbbing headache, your throat feels parched and you are\nfighting waves of nausea, it\u2019s never a pretty picture is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a\nnewbie or a seasoned party person, one can never have enough hangover cures and\nin this week\u2019s newsletter we are sharing with you some of our tried and tested Asian\nremedies to overindulgence. Let\u2019s ensure for you that the nasty hangover doesn\u2019t\nblight your first week of the new year. So, sit back, pour yourself a stiff\ndrink of your favourite tipple and let\u2019s take a look at some of Asia\u2019s\nfavourite hangover cures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haejangguk – Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korea is a country well known for their hard drinking. The\nmost popular Korean liquor is soju, a slightly sweet, distilled spirit, which\nis also referred to as \u201cthe common people\u2019s drink.\u201d But beware: This booze is\nnot for the faint of heart, and it\u2019ll get you drunk pretty quickly. Luckily,\nthe Koreans have a cure for your inevitable hangover — a soup called\nhaejangguk, which means \u201cstew to cure a hangover.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koreans from all walks of life enjoy hangover soup or\nhaejangguk. This lifesaving (and probably job and relationship saving too!)\nhangover preventative is so trusted, and so popular that almost every neighborhood\nhas at least one establishment for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, regardless of its name and reputation, one does not\nneed to be overindulged to enjoy haejangguk. And because there is a wide range\nof tweaks on this favourite soup it wouldn\u2019t be hard to find a soup that fits\nyour taste.  It usually consists of dried\nNapa cabbage, vegetables and meat in a rich and steamy-hot beef broth. The soup\nstock is typically made by boiling ox bones and predominantly seasoned with\ndoenjang (rich and salty fermented soy bean paste). Other common ingredients in\nthe soup include chunks of beef, tripe, cabbage leaves, dehydrated and\nreconstituted turnip tops, bean sprouts and green onions. It\u2019s a really hearty\nand satisfying dish that will revive and renew you…time for one more nightcap\nafter the soup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congee – China<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps Asia\u2019s most famous rice porridge, Congee, is also\none of the most popular hangover cures. Congee is often the dish of choice for\nfolks feeling under the weather and this includes those who are suffering from indulging\na little too much the night before too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason that Congee is considered so effective is because\nit is both hydrates your body and satiates your appetite. It can be found\naround the clock in local eateries all across Asia, and also goes down a lot\neasier than some of the other remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut Water – India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we all know, hydration is the key to getting over\nhangovers. Coconut water is well for its isotonic properties and as a great and\ndelicious way to rehydrate and provide you with all the necessary electrolytes\nthat your body might have lost due to the excess consumption of bhang. Coconut\nwater has a lot of minerals like sodium and potassium which are essential for\nmaintaining a balance of electrolytes in the body. You\u2019ve probably heard that\ndrinking a lot of water cures your hangover. A glass of fresh, fragrant coconut\nwater gives you double the effect straight out of the box (or the fruit), with\nno mixing required! With a fantastic mix of electrolytes and some carbs, this\nis nature\u2019s ready-made cure for hangovers with no side effects. Since alcohol\nupsets the electrolyte balance temporarily, (especially if you end up using the\nrest room too much), the humble coconut replenishes both the water and the\nelectrolytes that your body needs. Just don\u2019t plan to sleep off your night\nbefore under the coconut palm, a nut bouncing off your nut will give you a\nbigger headache than any amount of boozing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khao Tom – Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand has one of the world’s richest food cultures —\nalong with a renowned nightlife scene — so it’s no surprise that there’s a\nplethora of nourishing, soul-restoring foods to choose from after a long night\nout. Thai Rice Soup is a soup for breakfast. It\u2019s also one of the country\u2019s\nfavourite hangover cures. Khao Tom, or rice soup, is a Thai dish with a Chinese\nheritage. It is served as a slightly salty rice porridge served with a choice of\nmeat and vegetables, and the flavours balanced by your own fair (and shaking)\nhands with fish sauce, vinegar and of course chili. This life saver of a\nreviving food can be found being served 24hrs a day on street corners and local\neateries all over Thailand. For the best effect, head to the Khao Tom shop\nright after finishing your last drink of the night, just follow the party\npeople to the last stop of the night\u2026or is it ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
