Many of us work hard throughout the year to achieve better health, vitality, lean bodies, and sharp minds.  That all of that effort is not lost during the festive period through overindulgence in rich foods, sugar, alcohol and late party nights follow some simple recommendations to overcome indigestion, a bloated belly, hangover or fatigue.

  • Protect yourself from the sun, to avoid sunstroke and sunburn.
  • Stay hydrated by consuming lots of high quality water (minimum of 8 glasses per day) in between meals.
  • Consume fresh green vegetable juices with barley grass, wheat grass, liquid chlorophyll, chlorella and fresh mint to detoxify.  You may find that you feel better the next day when you do not drink as much alcohol.
  • Avoid additional processed carbohydrates in form of breads, crackers, soft drinks, juices and too many sweets.
  • Choose good protein sources and combine them with lots of vegetables and salads (70% of your meal).
  • Bring your favorite healthy home-prepared foods when invited to be able to fall back on it when the other food options are limited or very unhealthy compared to the foods you are used to eat.
  • Stop eating after the first burp to avoid indigestion and a bloated belly.
  • Keep up the healthy eating habits you have adopted through the year and eat what you would normally eat during the day. You can make these meals smaller in size, eat earlier dinners or even replace it with a vegetable juice.
  • Chew your foods well, to aid digestion and to be satisfied with less food.
  • Keep up your daily exercise routine and stay active as much as possible.
  • The most important is that you do not worry too much and enjoy the company of your family and friends.  Be happy, relaxed, and joyful! When you have followed my recommendations throughout the year you have a good foundation to stay healthy and well.
