7. Get Up and Get Moving
Moving around may be the last thing you want to do, but some light exercise can go a long way in easing the hangover. Your body metabolism gets a boost when you work out, which naturally speeds up how your body processes and breaks alcohol toxins.
Natural remedies can always be better than popping an OTC pill to relieve hangover symptoms. It takes time for the alcohol to clear your system, so the best thing to do is to wait it out and try out these hacks.
