 The weekend is finally here! Time to let your hair down and  relax. The weekend unwind can sometimes involve one too many drinks and late nights, leaving you with a nagging headache, nausea and dizziness the next morning--which makes for a not so great weekend. Here are some natural remedies to get rid of that hangover quicker so that you can get the most out of your weekend.

Almonds-  Eat raw almonds before a night of drinking to help prevent a hangover the next day. This is an old American Indian remedy.

Bifidus powder- A teaspoon of bifidus powder in a glass of water after a night of partying can help keep that dreaded nauseous feeling at bay. Bifidus is the "friendly" bacteria that gets rid of acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol that can cause an upset stomach.

Honey and lemon-  this tea is already a favorite cold remedy of mine. It replenishes fluids and sugars lost during intoxication. Honey contains fructose, which helps to metabolism alcohol. To make, boil 1 cup of water and mix in honey and lemon juice.

Sport drinks- are good for replacing any electrolytes lost.

Water- drink lots of water to keep hydrated.  That hangover headache is usually from the body becoming dehydrated. 

And last but not least, do not drink and drive! Have a great weekend!
