“Jeopardy!” aficionados were recently gifted a peculiar yet useful hangover remedy thanks to Ken Jennings, the record-breaking contestant who has amassed an astounding total of $3.3 million in winnings throughout his “Jeopardy!” career.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Jennings divulged a strange yet effective way to combat the effects of a hangover: a spoonful of peanut butter. Jennings explained that while he had not personally tested his theory, he had heard it from a friend who claimed that the protein in the peanut butter helps to soothe the effects of a hangover.
This method of hangover cure has been the subject of debate for some time. While some argue that the protein in peanut butter helps to reduce the symptoms of a hangover, others insist that it does not have any positive effects. Nevertheless, the anecdotal evidence provided by Jennings and his friend should serve as reassurance that the remedy is worth considering.
Though it may seem counterintuitive, the science behind the remedy is quite simple. Peanut butter contains protein and healthy fats that can help to replenish the body’s lost energy and regulate blood sugar levels. Furthermore, the presence of certain vitamins and minerals can help to reduce inflammation and restore balance to the body.
In any case, the hangover cure proposed by Jennings remains an unproven remedy. However, its popularity among “Jeopardy!” fans should serve as a reminder that there are many potential ways to address a hangover. If nothing else, it is always worth trying something new.
