Remedies
Todd: OK, Keren, I thought we’d talk about health.
Keren: OK.
Todd: And you look very healthy.
Keren: Yes.
Todd: So first of all, we’re going to talk about remedies. What do you do when you have a cold?
Keren: When I have a cold, I try to rest as much as possible and stay in bed and I take lemon, hot lemon drinks and I take tablets – paracetamol – to take away my headache.
Todd: OK, now you say you take lemon drinks. Like what exactly type of lemon drinks do you have?
Keren: I just use hot water and lemon it’s very refreshing and it clears your head.
Todd: Wow. So just hot water and lemon and that’s it? No honey or tea or anything?
Keren: Maybe you can put a little honey in it or… and also you can buy lemon drinks which have pain killer inside.
Todd: OK, now let’s talk about the hangover. Do you drink?
Keren: Yes.
Todd: OK. Have you had a hangover before?
Keren: Yes, a few times.
Todd: OK. What’s your secret for the hangover?
Keren: Sleep is my secret for the hangover, and when I have a hangover I really, really want to eat fatty foods and sugary foods and I eat lots of potato chips and I drink Coca-Cola.
Todd: Oh, I’m in the same boat. I love like fast foods when I have a hangover.
Keren: Yeah, it’s terrible.
Todd: Yeah, so how long does it take you usually to recover from a hangover?
Keren: It takes me the whole day after I go out.
Todd: The whole day.
Keren: The whole day.
Todd: Yeah, that’s the bummer because, like, you want to be up and out.
Keren: Yeah.
Todd: I usually try to shoot for one or two to be back at normal full-speed again.
Keren: Really.
Todd: Yeah.
Keren: No, it takes me the whole day. Sometimes I sleep in the afternoon. I take a nap and I feel better after that.
Todd: Maybe you just have stronger hangovers.
Keren: Maybe.
