The Christmas party season can be all too fleeting. We wish
it could be Christmas party day every day. While some might balk at the thought
of a non-stop merry-go-round of party, sleep, work, party, sleep, work - not us.
Yes, we have to admit that we are that annoyingly
effervescent social butterfly and yes - our secret is entirely healthy and
legal. So, what's in our water? Well, uh... water. We don't mean to be smug,
but that's the deal - pure and simple.
Read on to find out our top 10 tips on how to avoid a hangover!
10 Tips on how
to prevent a hangover
Drink plenty of water while you’re drinking
Drink wine with food and
match it with water - it's your perfect party season rule. The best way to
avoid a hangover is not to overdo it and get dehydrated at all. But you don't
have to be a party pooper - a little tipple of something good helps extend the
fun. Just make sure you get some good, pure water
down your neck too. Build up your stamina with top quality purified water rich
with essential minerals.
Avoid drinks high in congeners
Congeners are produced during the fermentation or
distillation process. Research suggests congener content may play a role in the
occurrence of a hangover. Check if your alcohol has high congeners before you
drink!
Drink water the morning after
If you didn’t manage to stick by the match-wine-with-water
rule, the best cure for a hangover is rehydration. We all know that alcohol
dries you out. It's a diuretic, so it'll make you pee a lot, hence you get
dehydrated - leading to those banging headaches and nasty hangovers. So, when
you’re thinking about how
to prevent a hangover, make sure you drink plenty of water in the
morning!
Get enough sleep
Sleep it off! Making sure you stay hydrated and sleeping off
the alcohol is the best game plan as lack of sleep can contribute to your
fatigue. Anyway, you’re probably already tired from your Christmas dinner!
Eat a good breakfast.
Having a good, balanced breakfast can help your body stay
nourished. Your blood sugar levels can be maintained with a good breakfast.
Though this can be a bit of a challenge on top of an impending Christmas meal!
Vitamin supplements
Vitamin supplements can help revitalise your body. When
you're drinking, this can really help. Although Christmas food is delicious, it
might not always be the most nutritious.
Drink in moderation or not at all
This one’s pretty simple – keep it simple! Limiting alcohol
intake or abstaining is always the best option.
Drink one kind of alcohol
You can keep better track of how much you're drinking, and
you're less likely to upset your stomach. Mixing alcohol might sound like a
good idea, but it’s probably not.
Boost those electrolytes
Your electrolytes can suffer when you lose extra fluids from
drinking alcohol. Snacking on electrolyte-rich foods can help to replenish
them. Think: bananas, avocado, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, beans, almonds and
more.
Exercise
If you’re able to get up and go, a good sweat is great for
clearing the hangover fog. Mild exercise increases circulation and your
metabolism helps get rid of the toxins.
Oh - there's also one other secret about how to get a handle
on the party season this Christmas: no matter how up-for-it you are, no matter
how much of a buzz you're on after the eighteenth party in a row - never, EVER
wear those reindeer antler headbands. That's just not cool.
