We've all been there: you swear you're only going to have a glass or two at your work festive do, only to roll into bed at 2am and spend the next day feeling like death. Social media is full of suggestions for how you can try to shift a hangover, from drinking pickle juice to a raw-egg smoothie.

But which of them actually works? We asked nutritionist Toral Shah, adviser to Wiley's Finest omega-3 brand, for advice on the best foods and drinks that'll actually help clear your head. From smoked salmon to a chocolatey treat, here's what to stock up on to beat the hangover this party season.
Nutritionist Toral Shah suggests smoked salmon, pickle juice and omelettes are all great ways to beat a hangover. OK, we know it tastes gross. But according to Shah, pickle juice is one of the quickest ways to settle your stomach and rid yourself of a headache.

'Pickle juice is rich in sodium and electrolytes,' the nutritionist explains. 'These help replenish minerals lost through increased urination and sweating when you consume alcohol.'. Don't stress too much if you hate the taste: Shah says it works just as well if you dilute it down.
Adding a squeeze of lemon and some sparkling water should disguise the distinctive sourness. Smoked salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, Shah explains. 'Two in particular, DHA and EPA, are really good at reducing inflammation caused by drinking.'.
