Take the Hang Ups and Lows out of your Hang Over

By Lidia Peru

We love to celebrate, and one of the biggest celebrations is New Years Eve. For many their idea of a good time is a little bit of good food and a whole lot of tasty alcoholic beverages. The question remains " how do you feel the next morning?

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 many things you can do to restore your health and wellness. Am I talking about a nutritional drink? Yes, but not those really expensive ones that are so popular these days. What about a nutritional pH rebalancing drink that costs pennies per serving? I found it in Kombucha Tea.

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.

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.

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.

Magnesium supports over 300 enzyme functions in your body. Just about everything your body does is dependent on magnesium. I mean, really, are you going to drive around your car without any oil? No way! Magnesium is kind of like the oil in your car, it is that important.

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.
