Just in time for the holiday party season, just one more reason for bacon — it helps you recover from hangovers:
“Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good.”
Ms Roberts told The Mirror: “Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head.”
Researchers also found a complex chemical interaction in the cooking of bacon produces the winning combination of taste and smell which is almost irresistible.
The bacon sandwich in the picture above is a UK staple, usually with buttered bread. And you can get them with other stuff like baked beans or eggs on it. But this is the kind of hangover cure that presumes you have someone else in your house to actually do this cooking, since I don’t imagine a hungover person having this kind of energy or focus. But that’s a quibble, really, since you need all of the Bacon Is Good For Me excuses you can get.
