HANGOVER REMEDY RX CURE JUICE RECIPE
Whether it’s after a holiday, or any day that ends in ‘y’, every now and again you may choose to have a few too many drinks! Frozen drinks by the pool, an Irish coffee, or even a green margarita are all fun to make in your Blendtec or Vitamix blender, but the reaction of alcohol in the body can sometimes leave you feeling it the NEXT day! We’ve tested this recipe with several of our Blender Babes community members after a big night out – does the trick! If you try it let us know, including what you did to make you drink it! ๐
When alcohol reaches your brain, it tells your pituitary gland to stop producing vasopressin, your body’s water retention regulator. Without vasopressin, your kidneys begin to drain your body – and those trips to the bathroom also wash out salts and electrolytes that will lead to nausea and fatigue. Alcohol also inhibits glucose production, thereby reducing energy levels. When you stop drinking, glucose production skyrockets – usually right when you’re going to bed – and results in your brain’s high energy levels causing a restless nights’ sleep and poor energy levels in the morning — a hangover.
Your brain is also smaller the next morning, since your cells are compensating for missing water by pulling water from your brain! That pounding headache is dehydration. We’ve made this hangover remedy with all of this in mind, in particular, how to maximally hydrate and regulate blood sugar levels while introducing some natural sugars to give you more energy. WE KNOW IT WILL HELP (i.e. several in our Blender Babes community of “tested” it, hehe)!

Notes
HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS OF THIS HANGOVER REMEDY
BLUE GREEN ALGAE:ย E3liveย or Spirulinaย blue green algae has NUMEROUS absolutely AMAZING health benefits thatย we’ve written about extensivelyย here. In a few words –ย e3live has the same nutritional benefits of 1,000 grams of fruit andย vegetables and satisfies almost all of your required B vitamins and Omegas!
APPLES: The phytonutrients in apples help toย regulate blood sugarย by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars that are easy for your body to digest. Applesย help with elimination and weight lossย due to a high level of pectin, which is a type of soluble fiber. Pectin lowers blood fat, making apples aย heart-healthyย addition to any juice.
TURMERIC: Turmericย is anotherย detoxifying spice that cleans out the liver. It has become popular in Japan as a hangover cure, where three kinds of turmeric are put into pill form to detox the liver and aid in digestion. It is also aย natural painkiller and anti-inflammatoryย that can be helpful to those with autoimmune and inflammatory issues as well as those with joint pain or chronic headaches.ย Turmeric has been shown toย prevent cancerย andย slow or stop tumor growth. It can alsoย treat psoriasis. In traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric is also used toย treat depression.
CINNAMON: Cinnamon regulates blood sugarย andย improves blood glucose control. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon every day canย significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, bad cholesterol, and total cholesterol levelsย in diabetics. Cinnamon also ย improves digestion,ย relieves congestion, and canย reduce inflammation, includingย relieving pain and stiffnessย in joints due to arthritis.
Terrific recipe.
