https://www.whiskyandbars.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/foods.jpg Whether you are an occasional drinker or a regular whisky connoisseur, drinking alcohol does impact your metabolism in the long run. However, complementing your drinking with healthy food habits can help negate the effects of alcohol on your body and keep you high spirited for years to come. So, today we are listing nine foods that every drink lover should add to their daily diet.

Oatmeal

A readily available instant food, oatmeal is both healthy and easy to digest. It’s one of the best foods for destressing your digestive system after drinking. You can add veggies, fruits and nuts to make the meal healthier and delicious.

Citrus Fruits

Lemons, oranges and sweet lime are all examples of citrus fruits rich in the antioxidant Vitamin C. These fruits stimulate your liver function and help in removal of toxins from the body. The pulp of these fruits is also a great source of fiber.

Carrots, Beetroot and Tomatoes

A set of fruits and vegetables that can be eaten raw as salad, carrots, beetroot and tomatoes are rich in Glutathione. It’s a potent antioxidant that improves your body’s immunity by fighting the free radicals and neutralizing toxic compounds.

Whole Wheat Foods

Whole wheat foods contain complex carbohydrates that absorb the alcohol and replenish your body with nutrients like Vitamin B. However, do not have these carb heavy foods with fatty dips like mayo or peanut butter, use healthier options like hummus instead.

Apples

As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, apples are rich in pectin and other compounds that detoxify your system. Apples also help in reducing the inflammation caused by drinking alcohol in your intestines and digestive tract.

Green Tea

Another great way to detoxify your system is to have Green Tea from time to time, or daily. The drink is rich in antitoxins that fight the free radicals and keep your body energized. Moreover, Green Tea also promotes liver function.

Banana

Bananas may seem like an odd choice, but they are an excellent source of potassium for your body. Drinking alcohol reduces the potassium in our bodies, leading to symptoms often associated with hangovers, such as palpitations and fatigue.

Soups

Here we are not talking about creamy soups with lots of fatty stuff. Have clear soups with vegetables and chicken nuggets to replenish your body with essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. You can also combine soups and whole wheat foods.

Garlic

Garlic is one of the super foods that can flush out toxins from our body. It contains sulfur, which promotes enzyme production, and selenium and allicin, which detoxify the liver. You can add Garlic to your cooked meals or cut the beads into tiny pieces and gulp them with water or curd. These foods counteract the ill effects of alcohol on your body and keep your liver and digestive system in good shape so you can keep enjoying your favorite whiskies, rums and vodkas.
