Lussorian –
Christmas parties mean over indulging, late nights and festive drinking. December brings the celebrations but inevitably the hangovers….
Raoul’s restaurants and delicatessens across London – including Maida Vale, Notting Hill and Hammersmith – may have the answer, offering a Hangover Menu throughout December, to get you through the day and cure that festive headache.
Offering the “best eggs in town” as well as remarkable Bloody Mary’s and hangover smoothies, Raoul’s really do have the best hangover cure in London!
You might think hangover brunch cures are urban myths, however, here are some scientific facts;
Eggs – contain large amounts of cysteine, which breaks down acetaldehyde, one of the culprits behind a hangover
Bacon – is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids, (a chemical compound which is known to cure headaches) which tops up your depleted neurotransmitters due to alcohol, resulting in a clear head
Bread – high in carbohydrates, which restores blood sugar levels and settles the stomach
Tomato Juice – is rich in Vitamin C and nutrients, which restores the body’s minerals, quickly aiding the recovery process as it detoxes the body
Banana/Kiwi – are full of potassium, which are depleted due to the diuretic effects of alcohol
Honey – the fructose helps your body metabolise the alcohol, relieving symptoms
Tabasco/chillies – contain capsaicin, which cuts off the neurotransmitters that trigger headaches
Avocado – is a cleasing food that contains many antioxidents which cleans up the bloodstream and cell tissue, removing the toxic effects of alcohol
Raoul’s has put together a menu which incorporates all of the elements best proven to cure a hangover, for example, Avocado & Smoked Salmon served on Rye Bread.
Raoul’s signature hangover smoothie will be the Raoul’s Revelry Remedy – banana, apple, kiwi, coconut water, yoghurt, honey and oats. Drops of Milk Thistle can be added as an extra, to soothe the liver. Raoul’s signature Akvinta Mediterranean Bloody Mary will be served with boiled quails eggs and celery salt making the ultimate accompaniment to brunch.
