Getting Back Your Groove after New Years Eve Party Hardy

By Lidia Peru

What is the number one party night of the year? New Years Eve, of course! For many this means a little, or a lot, of alcohol. Are you one of those people that wake up the next day feeling a bit run over?

If youve been out partying you likely know how it feels to be hung over. Consuming alcohol is hard on our digestive tract, and consuming too often makes it hard for your body to recouperate. You get empty calories that burn those nutrients you need for healthy body function.

There are steps you can take to bring your body back into balance. One of my favorites is Kombucha Tea. Never heard of it? It is not an energy drink, but most everyone who drinks it says it improves their energy. It is not a nutritional supplement, but it is rich with vitamins, enzymes, and healthy acids.

When you drink Kombucha tea you get a big dose of B vitamins, one of the concerns after a night of partying. B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6, and lets not forget B12. You get enzymes and a whole bunch of acids that your body needs and craves for healthy function.

Most of us eat a very acidic diet. The meat, alcohol and cola diet is a different, and harmful type of acid balance, different than the acids found in Kombucha. This natural food based drink restores pH balance and gives energy. It is balancing and supportative for the body.

One of the vital minerals we lose from alcohol consumption is Magnesium. Did you know that magnesium is vital for our health, and is used in many functions in the body, including heart function? Most of us are already low in our magnesium, and drinking further reduces our internal supply.

Here is one problem with having a low magnesium level. When the level is low you likely will have trouble absorbing it from your foods. There is another way to restore your magnesium, and that is through your skin. Transdermal is what they call it. You can use magnesium oil or gel, or a magnesium bath salt. How easy is that?

You need magnesium to complete over 300 of the enzyme functions in your body. Magnesium impacts our blood sugar, our ability to calm ourselves, sleep, and many mental health functions.

Do not let your hang over hang around any longer! Give your body what it needs to fight back and restore to its proper balance. Who knows, you may feel even better than you did before that night of partying! - 16955
