As it turns out, the obsession with all things bacon is no longer just the domain of the hungry. If you are nursing a massive hangover after a night of too many adult beverages, just slap a little bacon on bread for the ultimate hangover cure! That’s right, bacon is both good and good for you! Hooray science!
Newcastle University researchers say the marriage of bacon and bread is the magic combination of amino acids, carbohydrates, and fat to clear the cobwebs out of the old brain after a night of heavy drinking. The carbohydrates restore lost energy while the protein rebuilds depleted brain cells and the fat helps control sugar levels. It’s the perfect storm of taste and substance.
Everything that drinking takes out of you a delicious bacon sandwich puts right back in. So go ahead and scarf down a few strips and a couple of slices of toast, it’s good for you! Just don’t eat bacon sandwiches and bacon lollipops every day, or you’ll end up too fat to work.
