Okay, I've been sharing business tips with you, but if you read my banner, I also said that this is a place about tips for life.On your behalf, I search the world over for the information that can add value to your life.
So here, all the way from England is my first life tip.
Scientists say they have proof that the best cure for a hangover really is a bacon sandwich.
Elin Roberts, science development manager at the Centre for Life in Newcastle upon Tyne UK, says: "Food doesn't soak up the alcohol, but it does increase your metabolism - helping you to deal with the after-effects of over-indulgence."
So food will often help you feel better. 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 better.
Binging on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of amines which increases these levels, giving you a clearer head.
There's even a scientific formula behind that tantalizing aroma of a bacon sandwich, reports London's Daily Mirror.
Elin adds: "If you've got amino acids and reducing sugars at a heat above 150 degrees centigrade, it kick starts the Maillard Reaction in the pan. That means lots of lovely smells are released and it's this which draws us in. I know of three vegetarians who have been broken by the smell of bacon."
Elin went on to explain "It's not just the bacon sarnie that helps clear the fug; the very act of preparing the British culinary delight will help the fragile rebuild their shattered brains."
See, I bring you things that count in your life...hmm, a Bacon Sarnie to clear your FUG? (love the brits) not to mention the Maillard Reaction that, until now, was not part of your knowledge library.
So how can you ever thank me?
Buy me some beers and we'll head for Denney's, I can smell the bacon!
