Take the Hang Ups and Lows out of your Hang Over
New Years Eve is one party night of the year. Many consume a lot of alcohol on this national holiday. Do we think of how we will feel the day after?
Many of us have had a hangover, but few of us think about what alcohol does to our body. There is more than a few empty calories, alcohol depletes your vital vitamins and minerals. To make things even worse, that night of pleasure makes digestion a problem, meaning you cannot easily replenish those lost nutrients.
Have you ever heard of Kombucha Tea? This is actually a food, very nutritious, tangy in its taste, and very easy on your budget. You can buy it at your health food store, or make your own.
When you drink Kombucha here is what you get: Enzymes, Acetic acid, Carbonic acid, Folic Acid, Gluconic acid, Glucuronic acid, L(+) Lactic, Usnic acid, Amino acids (various), Hydroxy acids (various), Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2(Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin, niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin, cyanocobalamin), Vitamin C (from Lactic acid).
Kombucha will also help you get your digestive tract back on track. It restores pH balance, helps detox as well. Soon enough you will feel right as rain. You could add Kombucha to your overall health plan to give you more energy, nutrition, and balance in your body. Bonus ” a lot of people find their weight regulates itself when they are drinking Kombucha. Score!
When you drink alcohol you also reduce your mineral content. One loss is in Magnesium. Our body needs magnesium to properly use the calcium we are told is so important in our diets. Magnesium also plays a role in many areas of the body, including our heart.
When your magnesium level is low and your digestive tract is struggling you cannot absorb the nutrients, like magnesium, that is contained in your food. Another option is to increase the magnesium level through an IV like they do in the emergency room. Thats a little drastic. Try transdermal magnesium, like a magnesium bath, gel or oil applied to your skin.
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.
You dont have to wait for a night out on the town to enjoy the restorative qualities of transdermal magnesium. In fact, you can sip on your Kombucha tea served in a champagne glass after your healthy soak.
