Restore Your Body after New Years Eve Party Night

December 31, 2008   Filed under Diet

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?

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.

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.

What do you get with Kombucha? Enzymes, carbonic acid, acetic acid, folic acid, usnic acid, glucuronic acid, and gluconic acid. You also get a dose of vitamins B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6, and the all-important B12. You get a little vitamin C in there as well, in the form of lactic acid.

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.

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.

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.

There is no reason you need to let your hang over hang around. After a night of partying, or any time you want to relax and recharge at the same time, try a magnesium bath using a quality transdermal magnesium product.
