The Holiday Hangover - Urban Body Fix’s Guide to Help You Feel Your Best

It’s time for a celebration. The holidays may look a little different this year but thanks to technology, our loved ones are connected to us any time of the day. Along with the great food and desserts, do you celebrate with tasty cocktails? If so, let’s stop the holiday hangover before it starts. 

WATER 

Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that with every drink you consume, you're likely to urinate 100mL more than you consume. To keep your body working to the best of its abilities, be sure to hydrate, and not with alcohol. Drink water throughout your alcohol-imbibing time or shortly after.

Extra Sleep 

Stay in bed. The holiday season may be chaotic, stressful and full of heightened emotion, but take your time getting on with the next day. Your body needs to rest, and who knows? You may sleep away your entire hangover.

Take your Vitamins

Fuel your body with what it needs. Consider taking an antioxidant to help detoxify your system. Antioxidants may help lessen the effects of alcohol and curb oxidative stress on cardiovascular health. nutraMetrix Isotonix OPC-3 is just one example of a powerful antioxidant that can help ease the effects of your hangover.

Carb-Up 

Drinking alcohol can lower blood sugar levels. Your body may experience some fatigue and headaches. To help combat your body feeling this way, your brain starts to work overtime, causing it to use more energy. Adding in a piece of toast with jam can help level out your lowered blood sugar levels to keep your energy consistent.
