The Science of The Ultimate Hangover Cure

You can drink the healthy smoothie and not worry about why it works. But if you’re curious, here’s why the drink is better than your average hangover drink.

• Coconut water: Hangover recovery starts with hydration. Coconut water provides more that double the electrolytes as Gatorade.
• Kiwi: Contains the same amount of potassium as a banana, but with less sugar.
• Pear: Pears provide a good source of fiber and potassium.
• Celery: It might seem bland, but celery has anti-inflammatory properties, and it’s rich in vitamin K, folate, vitamin A, potassium, and vitamin C.
• Cucumber: Adds to your (much needed) hydration.
• Ginger: Science suggests it can help decrease nausea and motion sickness.
• Lemon: Helps with the flavor because you want to enjoy your drink.
• Himalayan sea salt: Restores lost trace minerals from all the boozing.
