Why It Works: Tomatoes are high in vitamins A and C. Serving this drink with bread will help you get rid of a terrible hangover faster since carbohydrates absorb excess alcohol.

To combat a hangover, just combine the ingredients in a blender and mix until it turns to be a smoothie. There’s nothing wrong with a bowl of smoothie, full of good nutrients. 

Why It Works: Blueberries and spinach are high in antioxidants and proteins.

  1. Ginger Tea 

Here is something that requires little effort but nonetheless allows you to get rid of your uneasy stomach and feel comfortable as you begin your day’s activities. All you need is a nice cup of ginger tea to feel revitalised. A saviour is a piece of lemon, honey, warm water, and ginger!

  1. Peanut Butter Chocolate

For when you don’t want to ruin the flavour, here is a mouth-watering recipe to help you get over the hangover. Magnesium is lost when drinking, but nuts come to our rescue later, so combine peanut butter, chocolate, and milk with oats. 

Why It Works: This protein-rich beverage aids in the replenishment of amino acids.

replenishment of amino acids.

Nutritionist Ruchita Batra says, “Buttermilk never fails,” and continues to explain the reason behind it, “They aid in the absorption of nutrients in the intestines, as well as mild diarrhoea induced by excessive drinking. They are also beneficial in helping faeces bind together and rehydrate. As a result, drinking buttermilk to cure diarrhoea is also useful in alleviating constipation, even though a single glass contains 8.1g of protein. It supports liver function and helps cleanse your body from toxins while also preventing acid reflux due to the beneficial gut flora contained in it. It neutralises acid and relieves the burning feelings brought on by excessive alcohol use. Buttermilk is also beneficial because it aids in the healing of the stomach lining and lowers inflammation-related discomfort, acting as a natural electrolyte drink.”

Masala Chaas by Ruchita Batra 

To a large blender, add and blend together:

  • 1.5 cups of chilled or cold curd (yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon of roasted ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped mint leaves or coriander leaves (cilantro if available) 
  • ½ teaspoon of black salt (or regular salt, as needed)

For a spicy version of masala chaas, add ½ teaspoon of freshly grated ginger and ½ teaspoon of chopped green chillies OR ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.

Ever heard of Hair of the Dog? Well, here we have booze to cure the horrible hangover. Yes, you read that correctly!

Olson Pereira, an Independent Beverage Consultant, presents the “Hair of the Dog” recipe, saying, “Hangovers are caused because alcohol drains away from the necessary vitamins and minerals from your body. A Michelada helps to charge you up with the lost vitamins and minerals, like how Mario feeds on Super Mushroom.”

  • 12.5ml freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 02 dashes Tabasco sauce

Aamir Khan Exclusive Interview With Lipika Varma

I’m a Loyalist of Cinema: Aamir Khan Fresh off the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan opens up about his enduring love for cinema, why he champions children’s stories, and how he balances personal evolution with creative instincts. In an exclusive interaction, he also speaks candidly about declaring his relationship with Gauri and the stability she brings into his life. In this heartfelt conversation, Aamir reflects on movies, meaning, and moments, with LIPIKA VARMA capturing it all. Excerpts- How do you feel when your film is on the verge of being released? Whenever my film is on the verge of being released, the feeling is like a father of a newborn child, though we cannot compare our feelings to a mother of a newborn child. But when my films are released, I feel the same nervousness and excitement as a father. The more excited you are, the more you contemplate whether your film is good, and then the nervousness grows if people will like it or not. I always get nervous whenever my films are on the release. Why are children’s films made in lesser numbers in Bollywood? Yes, it’s sad that the Hindi film industry is making very few children’s films. According to my thought process, the industry feels there is no market for children’s films. I disagree with this. We have so many children in this country, of course, they watch films! But sadly, many end up watching Western films dubbed in Hindi. We must take responsibility as filmmakers and create more meaningful stories for our children. Will you make more children’s films? I have decided to make children’s films even in the future. Kids are the future pillars of our country. They need to be sensitive, caring, and empathetic. Our films touch them in ways to
