Providing immediately remedy minimizes the length of these symptoms and a quick recovery. 

We have found foods with two powerful body healing ingredients to restore the body balance and provide what the body needs; Quinoa and Honey. We have found a recipe that also includes sea salts and raisins, providing electrolyte nutriants. 

Quinoa makes a great choice after a night of heavy imbibing because it’s rich in hangover-fighting minerals like protein and magnesium. Magnesium helps fight fatigue and loss of appetite, and also helps keep your heart healthy and nerve and muscle cells in good shape. Quinoa is full of proteins and balances your amino acid deficit. 

Honey works as an antioxidant and chases the remaining alcohol in your body. Honey is rich in potassium and antioxidant staple boasts numerous hangover-helping qualities. Ingest it by itself or, better yet, spread it over a piece of dry toast or a cracker, since you do need to eat something during a hangover (even if your appetite tells you otherwise). In fact, the Royal Society of Chemistry believes eating a breakfast of honey-on-toast is one of the best ways to beat a hangover.
