The BRAT Diet

Have you heard of this?

I was perusing A Cup of Jo, who was lamenting about her hangover, asking her readers for some time-tested cures. I came across this one and had to do a little probing of my own. I stumbled upon this article from webmd.com (who I trust implicitly) and thought I'd give you a little synopsis.

The BRAT diet is an acronym for:

Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast

and is used to help you get some nutrition when you're feeling nauseous or can't stomach much of anything. It evolved into the BRATY diet to include yogurt and into the BRATT diet to include tea.

I love it.

I mean, it's common sense: we all more than likely exercise this type of eating regiment when we are struggling gastrointestinally. But isn't it nice to have it written down and packed into a neat little acronym to easily access in case you forget? I think so.
