Hangover? Fix it with Oatmeal
Yes! That’s right, Oatmeal can drastically and almost instantly take away the pain and symptoms of hang overs. I talked about "The Power of Oatmeal" in a previous blog post, but this time around, I thought I’d give people a more practical example of Oatmeal’s illustrious power.
The Research According to The University of Wales:
Researchers fed an oatmeal breakfast to some hungover college students. Here’s why there hangovers went away. Oatmeal has slowly digestible carbohydrates which fare much better on mood, memory, and overall mental capacity compared to people’s normal simple sugar induced breakfasts like cold cereal. Mental capacity and clarity is what’s drastically reduced when you are "hungover."
The Remedy Recipe:
Prepare a packet of plain oatmeal according to the package directions, but instead of the sugar and milk you might ordinarily add to the mix, just stir in 1 Tbsp of crunchy peanut butter to increase digestion-slowing fiber and add protein, which has also been linked to improving mental performance. This recipe makes 1 serving.

You should test it out. I started getting hooked on oatmeal a couple months ago after finding out about all the cool effects it has on your body, not to mention it’s Mr. Olympia’s (Jay Cutler) favorite food.
I eat oatmeal twice a day. It’s also EXCELLENT as a pre-workout (weight-lifting) food.
