The yoke's on them
According to the British Egg Information Service, the best advice for those trying to survive the morning after the night before is to get cracking. And that's because tucking into a plate of eggs after a big night out can do more than satisfy your tastebuds - it can also help fight a hangover. Research has found that cysteine, the amino acid found in eggs, counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde, the chemical produced by the body as it metabolises alcohol. The acetaldehyde is responsible for the headaches, nausea and other unpleasant consequences of drinking one too many.
Nutritionist Cath McDonald says: "The British Egg Information Service does not condone excess alcohol consumption, however on the odd occasion that a few drinks turns into a few too many, eggs
for breakfast will help you face the day ahead."
